he partnership with WTCC and the live TV coverage on Eurosport won’t be the only news for Auto GP in 2011.In order to make the racing even closer, the Series has decided to revamp its points system adopting the same allocation table of Formula One for Race 1, and changing consequently also the scoring scheme for Race 2.Under the new system the top ten finishers will score points in Race 1, with 25 points awarded to the winner. In Race 2, points will be allocated up to P8 and the race winner will get 18 points. Here is the complete table:       Race 1                        Race 2  1st     25 points             1st     18 points  2nd    18 points             2nd    13 points  3rd     15 points             3rd    10 points  4th     12 points             4th     8 points  5th     10 points             5th     6 points  6th     8 points               6th     4 points  7th     6 points               7th     2 points  8th     4 points               8th     1 point   9th     2 points  10th   1 point

Enzo Coloni: “Having been a racing driver, I know that winning a race is a really big undertaking. So for Auto GP I wanted a points system giving some more value to wins, both in Race 1 and Race 2. I feel that the F1 allocation system is very good for that, and that it should also bring other good side effects. Extending the points zone in both races we should see drivers fighting for position also when they will be a bit back in the standings, providing a better show for fans on track and on TV.
