Renault UK Clio Cup Confirms New Points System Plus Registration & Media Day Details For 2018

December 15, 2017 by Renault Sport

The Renault UK Clio Cup can confirm a number of changes to its sporting regulations for the 2018 season – particularly to its points scoring system.

From next season points will be allocated to the top 15 finishers in each round as opposed to the top 20 previously.

This means a revision to the points allocation which will be:

1st: 25; 2nd: 22; 3rd: 20; 4th: 18; 5th: 16; 6th: 13; 7th: 10; 8th: 8; 9th: 7; 10th: 6; 11th: 5; 12th: 4; 13th: 3; 14th: 2; 15th: 1.

In addition each driver will be permitted to drop his or her worst single score from between rounds one to 16. However no dropped scores will be permitted in the championship's final 17th and 18th rounds.

As in the British Touring Car Championship, a bonus point will also now be awarded in each race to any driver who leads across the start-finish line.

The two bonus points for setting the race's fastest lap time will continue to be awarded.

The Masters Cup, for older drivers, will not continue.
