2010 WTCC points
The FIA has changed the points system for the World Touring Car Championship.
Instead of the top eight finishers scoring (allocated on a 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis), the first ten will now be awarded points:
1st: 25 points
2nd: 18 points
3rd: 15 points
4th: 12 points
5th: 10 points
6th: 8 points
7th: 6 points
8th: 4 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point
This brings the WTCC in line with the new system already adopted by F1 and the World Rally Championship for the 2010 season.
The much larger points disparity - especially for the podium positions - is designed to push drivers to battle on, as just one place difference could have a big impact on their overall standing.
Arguably, given the already close racing in touring cars, that’s more applicable to F1 than the WTCC.
