Single car teams are awarded three bonus points atop their points accrued from a race, to balance out the difference with multiple car teams.

In the event that the team has more than two entries, any cars other than the two highest finishing will not score points, regardless of whether their finishing position is in a points-scoring position.

For example, if two of a three team’s cars finish 1st and 2nd, and 3rd, the first car will be awarded 350 points, the second car, 320, and the third, 0, for a total of 670 team points.

Single car team: 3 (teams' points)
