-This season finale will be broken down into 3, 10 Lap Sprints. You will accumulate points for each sprint, just like you would any other race. The lowest of your 3 scores will be dropped. This will give you the potential to gain A LOT of ground in the season finale.
***IMPORTANT*** Each sprint counts as 1 race. Therefore, you cannot use the same car in back to back sprints. You'll need to bring at least 2 cars this night. :-)


Special Note: To help compensate for some drivers not owning the DLC, the lowest score you receive during the season will be dropped.


Points
First Place - 10 points
Second Place - 9 points
Third Place - 8 points
Fourth Place - 7 points
Fifth Place - 6 points
Sixth Place - 5 points
Seventh Place - 4 points
Eight Place and below - 3 points


Pole Position/Fastest Qualifier - 2 bonus points
-Can only be achieved a max of 3 times during the season


If you get disconnected during the race, you will be awarded
3 points, regardless of what your position was at the time.



Manufacturer Championship
This series will also incoporate a manufacturer's cup. Each manufacturer will be scored just like the individual races (1st Place gets 10 points, 2nd Place gets 9 points, 3rd Place gets 8 points, etc. etc.). I will then take the total number of points for each manufacturer and divide it by the total number of drivers that used that manufacturer. For example: Toyota drivers finish 2nd (9 points), 5th (6 points), 10th (3 points) and 11th (3 points). That's a total of 21 points accumulated by 4 Toyota drivers. I then divide 21 by 4 for an average of 5.25 points. I will round all numbers up to the next whole number....in this case, Toyota would receive 6 manufacturer points.
In addition to this, the winning manufacturer of each race, will receive 10 bonus points ON TOP of the average points already awarded. This number will not be divided, it is strictly bonus points. The same shall apply to the winning manufacturer of the TQ. Here's another example: Honda drivers place 1st (10 points) 3rd (8 points) 6th (5 points) and 9th (3 points). That's a total of 26 points divided by 4 Honda drivers. That's an average of (rounded up) of: 7 points. Then add the 10 bonus points for winning, for a total of 17 manufacturer points for that race. If a Honda driver had also received the TQ, then that total would be 19 points (7 average points, 10 bonus points for winning, and 2 bonus points for TQ). At the end of the season, if your manufacturer wins the manufacturers cup, you will be awarded 10 bonus points on to your drivers score. Confused yet? :-) I have decided to set it up this way, so that each manufacturer will have a fair chance at winning
the cup, regardless of how many drivers choose to run that manufacturer.

Special Note: Honda and Acura will be counted as 1 manufacturer. Toyota and Lexus will be counted as 1 manufacturer.
Nissan and Infiniti will be counted as 1 manufacturer.

Tie-Breaker Scenario
In the unlikely (but possible) event of a tie. The tie breaker will be decided in the following order:
1) Most Wins
2) Most TQ's
3) Manufacturer Score
4) 5 Lap Race Off - Mt. Aso (Auto-generated): Number of Sections - 5 Complexity - 10
