Championship standings

In order to score points in the Cup classifications, competitors must register with the FIA before the entry closing date of the first rally entered.

Points system
  • Points for final positions are awarded as per the following table:
Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th 
Overall Points 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1
Leg Points 1.5 1 .5 0

For the 2020 season points will be awarded to the top three finishing positions of each leg on each event. These points will only be awarded if the driver finishes in the overall classification of each event. If they do not then no leg points are awarded, but the following vehicles will not move up a position for leg points.[8]

Competitors were awarded with reduced points at the Baja Portalegre 500, which was shortened.[12]
