If 75% or more of the total set laps are raced by a driver, 1 additional completion point is added.

The overall positions for all classes of the Superrace Championship are determined by the total earned points in each round.

If the total series points are tied, preference is given to the driver with higher position results.

(Super 6000 : 80KG, KUMHO GT1&2 : 60KG) If a driver does not participate in a race or is disqualified, handicap weight won’t be deducted.
