Final point standings
Driver
For every race points were awarded: 9 points to the winner, 6 for runner-up, 4 for third place, 3 for fourth place, 2 for fifth place and 1 for sixth place. No additional points were awarded. All scores from basic events counts: Race No. 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16 and 17. Also the first four starts (not scores) in the complementary races counts: Race No. 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 15. But only the first result in any country of the complementary races counts. Three drivers had a point deduction, which are given in ().It was actually a very complicated scoring system and, for this reason, there are some differences in the scoring, depending on the consulate source, mainly regarding Jochen Mass (42 or 41 points), and Jacques Coulon (24 or 32 points).
Note:
Only drivers which were not graded were able to score points.
Race 6 and 15 not all points were awarded (not enough finishers).
Vittorio Brambilla had nine points deducted for his win at Austria, because this was his fifth start in a complementary race. He had also raced in race No. 1, 5, 8 and 10.
Bill Gubelmann had two points deducted for his fifth place at Karlskoga, because this was his second start in a complementary race in Sweden. He had also raced in race No. 6.
Tom Pryce had nine points deducted for his win at Norisring, because this was his second start in a complementary race in Germany. He had also raced in race No. 8.
