Notes
- Renard and Vosse were not awarded points in race two at Oulton Park, due to running standard-spec pump fuel, following issues with the championship's Sunoco fuel during race one.[12]
- Supersport Class drivers are awarded half points, due to a lack of competitors.
- At Rockingham, as the Invitation Class Ginetta won both races, Simonsen and Lester were awarded maximum points in race one, and Brown and Fisken in race two. The Ginetta also won at Brands Hatch, with Simonsen and Lester again receiving maximum points.
- From Spa onwards, half points were awarded in GT4, due to a lack of competitors.
- The Mosler MT900R of Daniel Brown and Martin Short competed at Snetterton and Donington under protest due to a loophole in the regulations. Eventually, the Mosler was stripped of points gained from the rounds.

gollark: Platinum is great! It's a good conductor and doesn't tarnish!
gollark: Platinum would go down in value and we could all have nice platinum things.
