Race Counts for Championship Despite Shortening

In Simple Terms

Even if a race gets shortened multiple times due to weather, accidents, or other stoppages, it still counts as a full race for the championship. Drivers earn the same points regardless of how much shorter the race ends up being compared to the original planned distance.

• Shortened races still award full championship points
• The rule applies no matter how many times the race is stopped and restarted
• Race distance can be reduced significantly and still be valid for the championship
• Drivers' championship standings are not affected by race shortening
