1) It has to reward the efforts of the players: the more there are participants and the more it is difficult to be classified indeed. A long event is not necessary more difficult than a short event, only the style of piloting differs. For example for a 100km race a driver will maybe do only one attempt, whereas he will do ten if it's for a 10km race.
2) Races are more favored than hotlaps because of fight against AI make them more difficult and because it's more close to the reality.

To avoid "marathon competitions" with too many points awarded and too many events to play :
- if N events of the same competition take place the same week, points awarded will be divided by N (M = 1/N).
- only one exception for special AND annual/biannual/quarterly competitions, for which I accept 3 events (to allow eventually an hotlap, a timetrial and a race) in the same week with full points attribution, only if the competition takes at more one week. If N = 1 we can have M = 1 or 1.5 or 2 (according to event prestige), if N = 2 or 3 then M = 1 and finally if N < 3 then M = 3/N.
- else M = 1.
BONUS :
- for individual events I give 3% of winner's points : for best lap (except for hotlap and rally-stages), for each driver having won at least one track (for multi-tracks events) and for driver(s) with most tracks won (at least 2).
- for stint events I give 3% of winner's points : for best lap, for each driver having won at least one stint and for driver(s) with best stint (average speed). And in each team (can't be cumulate with previous bonus) : 1.5% of team points for best lap and 3% for best stint.
Particular case for tournaments :
- First phase (or qualifications) which can include several events or several groups, in the first case each event are counted separately, in the second case I consider there is only one event where the winner of each group will be classified before the second, and the third, ... To decide between the N°, either all groups include the same track(s) in the same conditions and in this case drivers are classified by time, or track(s) / conditions are different and in this case drivers are classified by points (if there is no points ranking, I take margin of victory for winner and gap for others).
- Second, third, ... phase which can have the same format than first phase.
- Final phase with .../16°/8°/quarter/semi/final, I will count as one event each N°-finals (which can be accompagnied by classification event) and also the final (eventually with final-B). Drivers of final are classified before drivers of final-B and drivers of N°-finals are classified before drivers of corresponding classification event. Then to decide between drivers just consider each N°-final as a group (as first phase).
- PTS : counted as usual for first phase and with fixed coef C for the following phases.
- if NBR = 1 : event isn't supported.
- in case of tie, the drivers have the same number of points.
- scores are rounded to the higher integer.
- if a driver is classified n° he has to score at least 1 point more than (n+1)°.
* login competitions having started in 2008 and ending in 2009 will have their coef F fixed to 2 from 1/1/2009 until the end of season.

Points
- the disqualified drivers have 0 point.

- if there is only one driver, he'll have the corresponding points and will be considered NC (not classified).
- in case of tie, the drivers have the same number of points.
- scores are rounded to the higher integer.
virtual distance
- for each track : multiply its length by number of lap(s).
- events without stints, with N+1 tracks including D+1 different tracks : add 2N+2D kilometers.
- events with stints : average distance by driver (virtual distance / nbr drivers x nbr teams).
- qualifications : the multiplier must be strictly lower than the main event (take multiplier of the line above, if you are on the front line then take the multiplier of the column to the left and at least x1).
Endurance events
- the drivers are classified by teams and in each one by best stint (in km/h).
Tournaments
- qualifications : points are awarded normally.
- final phases, 1st round = 1/n finals : points are awarded normally.
- final phases, following rounds = 1/m finals + eventually a classification round : points won are divided by attendance and multiplied by attendance of 1st round.
- for example : 1st round = 1/8 finals (16 drivers), 2nd round = 1/4 finals + match for 9th position (8+5 = 13 drivers), 3rd round = 1/2 finals + match for 5th position (4+3 = 7 drivers), 4th round = final A + final B (2+2 = 4 drivers) ; the following multipliers will be used : 16/13 for 2nd round, 16/7 for 3rd round and 16/4 for 4th round.

- each rallye is counted as one event in GWR (look table above to know which multiplier to apply).
Rookie events
- event only reserved to rookies or drivers who took part to a little number of events and with no great results.
- in this the multiplier given by the table above won't be used and will be replaced by the multiplier 2 rows above (or on the 1st row if it's impossible).
