After the 30-minute Qualifying session, the drivers’ third-best time will determine the grid for Race 3, with their fastest and second-fastest times setting grids for Race 1 and Race 2 as usual.

Two points will be awarded to the drivers who are shown in pole position on the final starting grid for each of the three races. All three races will award full points on a sliding scale from 25 points for the win, down to one point for P10.
