Rookie Points System (Unchanged) - The highest finishing rookie in a race earns ten points, the second nine and so on.

They score points in their three best races each half of the season, and one extra race.

If a rookie wins a race, they earn ten bonus points, if they finish second nine and so on.

The rookie highest in the championship standings at season's end earns ten bonus points, second place earns nine and so on.

At the start of the season, if a rookie has not raced seven AARL One races in their career, they may opt out of earning Rookie of the Year points, and be applicable the next year. If at any point in a season they would race their seventh race, their egibility for next year would be revoked, but they would be eligible for the current year.

If a rookie only raced for their manufacturer's team, after winning an AARL 2 race, they would not be eligble for rookie of the year, and any races they race will not count to the rookie cap of six or less races to be able to opt out of the rookie point standings.
