MOTORLAPS RACING SERIES - Scoring System Explained
How race points, MotorPoints, and the jury system work across every MotorLaps championship series.
Race points
Series standings use race points (also called podium points). Each classified finish earns a fixed score by position. These points decide championship order on each series page.
Same calendar day
When a series runs more than one race on the same calendar day, only your two best scores count: the better result at 100%, the next at 25%.
Example: P2 (760) plus P4 (439 × 0.25 = 109.75) = 869.75 race points for that day.
MotorPoints
MotorPoints (MP) track reputation, attendance, and fair play. They are separate from race points and do not change when you simply register for an event.
| Situation | MotorPoints |
|---|---|
| Earning | |
| Join and finish a race (participation bonus) | +30 |
| Referral signup bonus (new driver names who invited them) | +500 |
| Referral reward (named as the inviting driver) | +1000 |
| Serve on the jury (per incident reviewed) | +50 |
| Grid bonus (per event) | |
| 10 or more drivers on the grid in official race results | 2× participation and finish MP |
| 20 or more drivers on the grid in official race results | 3× participation and finish MP |
| Losing | |
| Cancel 10 minutes before qualifying | -15 |
| Cancel during qualifying | -30 |
| Cancel 60 seconds before the race | -60 |
| Registered but no show (did not take the grid) | -90 |
| Incidents | |
| Light incident | -5 |
| Major incident | -300 |
| Intentional incident | -600 |
The grid bonus uses every driver listed in the official race results file, not registration count alone. Event pages show how many more signups are needed to reach the next tier as a guide before the race. Participation (+30 MP) and position finish bonuses are both multiplied. Penalties and cancel fees are never multiplied.
Example: 7 drivers registered - we need 3 more people to double MotorPoints. Example: 11 drivers registered - double MotorPoints active; we need 9 more friends to triple MP.
Jury system
Active from week 28. Eligible drivers review on track incidents and help keep racing fair.
- Open incidents from your dashboard.
- Each case stays open for 6 hours for jury votes.
- Jurors earn +50 MP for each incident they help judge.
- You may judge incidents in your own series, but not when your name appears in the incident.
