In the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, a GTP race win is worth 350 points, and qualifying adds a separate score worth one-tenth of the race-points scale. Those points feed distinct Driver, Team and Manufacturer championships; if drivers finish level on season points, IMSA uses a countback of their best results to break the tie.
How GTP race points are awarded
IMSA awards points according to a car’s classified finishing position in its class, not simply the order cars cross the line. Under Article 12.20 of the 2026 Sporting Regulations, eligible finishers receive points from a fixed descending table. Technical or sporting ineligibility and penalties can affect the result that counts.
| Class finish | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 350 |
| 2nd | 320 |
| 3rd | 300 |
| 4th | 280 |
| 5th | 260 |
| 6th | 250 |
| 7th | 240 |
| 8th | 230 |
| 9th | 220 |
| 10th | 210 |
| 11th | 200 |
| 12th | 190 |
| 13th | 180 |
| 14th | 170 |
| 15th | 160 |
| 16th | 150 |
| 17th | 140 |
| 18th | 130 |
| 19th | 120 |
| 20th | 110 |
| 21st | 100 |
| 22nd | 90 |
| 23rd | 80 |
| 24th | 70 |
| 25th | 60 |
| 26th | 50 |
| 27th | 40 |
| 28th | 30 |
| 29th | 20 |
| 30th or lower | 10 |
The sizeable gaps near the front mean a win is worth 30 more race points than second and 50 more than third. But every listed position scores, so a lower finish still contributes to a season total.
Qualifying points count toward the season
GTP qualifying is a single segment that determines the starting order and awards championship points separately from the race. Its scale is 10% of the corresponding race-points value: pole earns 35 points, second earns 32 and third earns 30. A car that does not participate in qualifying earns no qualifying points; rule-defined driver changes can also forfeit them. The qualifying provisions are in Article 40 of the 2026 regulations.

Which IMSA GTP championship is being decided?
IMSA awards separate Driver, Team and Manufacturer championships. They do not necessarily have the same standings because each counts points for a different entrant or entity, as set out in the 2026 Sporting Regulations.
- Driver Championship: points are credited to drivers through the eligible results of the car they compete in.
- Team Championship: points belong to the assigned competition number and entrant, based on that car’s season total.
- Manufacturer Championship: awarded in GTP, GTD PRO and GTD. An eligible official automotive partner scores using its highest-finishing car in each class in each race.
A race winner is the top finisher in one event; a season champion is determined by cumulative points across the schedule. A driver title, team title and manufacturer title are therefore different outcomes, even within the same class.

How IMSA breaks a tie in the Driver Championship
If drivers are tied on points in the final Driver Championship standings, Article 53.1 of the 2026 regulations compares their points-finishing records in order:
- Count first-place points finishes; the driver with more ranks higher.
- If still tied, compare second-place finishes, then third-place finishes.
- Continue down through the championship points positions.
- If the records remain level, the driver who first achieved the season’s highest points-finishing position wins the tie-break.
Using current standings and clinching scenarios
Standings and title scenarios change as each event is completed, so a points gap or clinching threshold only makes sense with its event and date attached. IMSA’s live standings page is the official place to check the current points picture. The September 24, 2026 Petit Le Mans preview offered a dated example, not a lasting rule or final result: it described a 147-point gap between first and second in the GTP title fight. In its anticipated 11-car-field scenario, pole plus a win could yield 385 points (35 qualifying plus 350 race), while 11th in both qualifying and the race would yield 220 (20 plus 200). The preview also said the leading driver would clinch with ninth or better, provided the car qualified and left the grid. These calculations were specific to that pre-race field and standings snapshot; they should not be read as the outcome of the finale.
