| More of these drivers will score points next season in BTCC |
The Dunlop MSA British Touring Car
Championship has revealed its extended points scoring system for
2012.
From next season, the top 15 finishers
in each race will score outright championship points. The 15
highest-placed independent runners will also score in the
Independents Trophy.
Previously, only the top ten in both championships were awarded points. The outright HIQ Teams Championship and Independent Teams Trophy will also be similarly altered.

BTCC Series Director Alan Gow
commented: “Fundamentally, the new system
doesn’t really change that much as we’ve maintained the same
spread of points between the top-ten placings as before. However,
what this does is to give drivers outside of the top ten something
extra to go for and is thus an extra reward for their efforts.”
The 2012 BTCC season, featuring ten rounds at top race circuits across the UK, will commence on the weekend of 31 March-1 April at Brands Hatch in Kent.
