Formula racing
There are two basic systems. Either all drivers who finish the race or enter the final standings receive points. Or only a certain number of top placements get points and the higher ranks are not counted for the championship, except as a tiebreaker. For historical reasons, the points systems have prevailed in Australian and American Touring car racing as well as in Endurance racing, where all drivers get points, while in Formula racing (Grand Prix) usually only the top positions are valid for the championship points.
