== Scoring rules ==
Every race or ranked qualifying session results for each entry are handed ordinal numbers as "groups" in which the entry was classified.
-For qualifying, a group is simply the qualifying position (not applying any grid drop penalties, but applying disqualification/exclusion).
+For qualifying, a group is simply the qualifying position (not applying any carryover/technical grid drop penalties, but applying disqualification/exclusion/grid penalties for offences during the ranked session).
For races the following rules apply:
* race winning entry forms group "1"
* among the drivers classified on the lead lap, other groups are as follows: 2-3 places are group "2", 4-5 places are group "3", 6-10 places are group "4", 11-15 places are group "5", etc.
* for drivers classified outside the lead lap, the groups are formed by the drivers classified with the same numbers of completed laps (each distinct lap number as a separate group)
* non-classified drivers (because of completing not enough laps, but not retiring) form a single separate group, below all the classified drivers
- * drivers retiring due to driver accidents form a single separate group, below other drivers
+ * drivers retiring due to driver-induced accidents form a single separate group, below other drivers
* drivers disqualified from the race form a single separate group, below other drivers
* drivers retiring due to mechanical issues form a special "0" group together with drivers which did not start the race
