    Drivers who retire will not receive any points but will be acknowledged as having attended.
    Any non-LLRC drivers will be removed from the results before the points are calculated.
    If a driver changes class during the season, the driver will continue to accrue overall championship points for both vehicles but only points for each vehicle in the appropriate class.
    In the event of a tie at an event the driver with the highest number of penalty free sections will be awarded 1st place. If this does not give a clear winner, the number of sections scoring 1, 2, 3 etc will be used. If all scores are equal the last person to score a penalty will be deemed the winner. If this does not give a winner the drivers will be required to perform a run-off.

    In the event of the championship ending on equal scores, the driver gaining the most first places (or second, third etc) will be awarded the trophy.  If this still does not give a clear winner the trophy will be awarded to both drivers.
