Standings

Points system

Points are awarded following a complex system. Drivers receive a set of points according to their overall position in each race, as well as an additional set of points according to their position within the class their car belongs to. No separated standings for classes A, B and C are issued. The points distribution is as follows:[2]

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th   16th   17th   18th   19th   20th   21st   22nd   23rd+ 
Points Overall 25 23 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Per class (≥4 starters) 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Per class (<4 starters) 3 2 1

The total number of points scored in each round is multiplied by a coefficient, depending on the round. Only the best 12 results are counted towards the overall standings, whereas all results are valid towards the Gentlemen Drivers standings.[1]

gollark: I'm aware of p5.js, but if something only happens in the weird special editor it probably... won't happen outside that.
gollark: OR IS IT?
gollark: General-purpose code editors + a webserver or whatever do *not* do this sort of weird thing.
gollark: Some have *fewer* problems!
gollark: You could use a different development environment, and I guess probably should after initial development.
