In addition to contesting the outright championship, each driver was classified as either Professional or Elite and competed for the relevant class title. Points were awarded for class places in each race on the same basis as for the outright championship.

The results for each round were determined by the number of championship points scored by each driver at that round, with both the Professional and Elite class having round winners.

The driver gaining the highest points total over all rounds was declared the winner of the championship.
