	4	3	2	1
	5	2	1
	6	1

At the end of the season, the points for all races will be added.

The winner of the ORWELL SuperSports Cup is the driver, who has the highest total point score. In the event of a tie at the end of the year, the number of class wins will be decisive, after that the older car will take precedence.
