There are various championships run during the course of a season in BriSCA F1. Here at F1stockcars.com we will follow the main Championships and do our utmost to keep our readers updated on the standings in each through the hard work of BSCDA Historian Nigel Anderson. At the foot of this page is a Basic Point Scoring Table with a short breakdown of some of the main variations.

2012 National Points Championship

National Points are scored in every race, of every meeting. They have two purposes.

Primarily they are used to determine a drivers success. A drivers monthly National Points total is used to calculate which Grade a driver belongs in, and therefore his starting position on the grid. It is possible for drivers to be both demoted as well as promoted up and down the Grades.

Secondly the National Points will be used to determine which drivers go through to the end of season National Points Championship second phase  which takes the form of a ‘Shootout’. The Top 12 highest scoring drivers at the end of July qualify for the Shootout and the chance of wining the silver roof.

2012 World Championship Qualification Standings

World Championship qualification for 2012 began at the end of the 2011 season with four rounds taking place. World Championship qualifying rounds are held at every circuit. These rounds are shown on the fixture list. Points scored from a designated WQ meeting determine which drivers make it through to the World Championship semi-final rounds, and their starting positions on the grid, in that semi-final. Semi-final results then determine the World Final grid positions.

Basic Points Scoring Table

F1Stockcars.com receives numerous enquiries with regard to the BriSCA F1 stock car point scoring system so here is a basic breakdown of the way points are calculated.

The HEATS and CONS section of the Format in the table refer to a full meeting where all cars race in a separate Heat with those not qualifying going into the Consolation. There are a small number of variations which effect the points scored by drivers but not all of them are listed here in our basic breakdown.

• If a driver does not qualify for the Final but takes part in it and makes it into the places, they score full heat points only.
• The final winner takes a handicap in the Grand National and if they get into a scoring position they score double points.
• If a final winner completes the Grand National race distance they get five bonus points.
• A new ruling since 2011 is that lower graders (White and Yellow grades) are allowed to take part in more than one heat. If they get into the placings in their first heat they score Heat points. If they get into the placings in their second Heat they get Consolation points except at Coventry where they have a Whites and Yellows race as part of the format.
• The two thirds scoring format is also the same as an All in format where all cars race in all races.
• Our table goes down to tenth place for the Heat points but if more cars qualify (often twelve) these drivers score one point each.
