In addition to contesting the outright championship, each driver was classified as either Professional or Elite and competed for the relevant class title.[1] Points were awarded for class places in each race on the same basis as for the outright championship.[1]
The results for each round were determined by the number of championship points scored by each driver at that round, with both the Professional and Elite class having round winners.[1]
The driver gaining the highest points total over all rounds was declared the winner of the championship.[1]
