Double points make the championship difference

The third round of the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship on 17/18 June is not just one of the biggest races in the world, but it’s also the one which makes all the difference to a team or driver’s championship title bid. 

This is because double championship points are on offer to WEC entrants for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.   It is not impossible for teams or drivers to succeed without a win at Le Mans, but it certainly helps!

Points are awarded as follows:

1^st           50

2^nd          36

3^rd          30

4^th          24

5^th          20

6^th          16

7^th          12

8^th          8

9^th          4

10^th        2

For all cars classified lower than 10^th – 1 point
