The top ten shootout would only be run at the endurance events. A single 45-minute qualifying session would be held in a fashion similar to Formula One, where all cars compete in the first 15 minutes. The quickest 20 would then complete in the second 15 minutes and the quickest 10 would complete in the final 15 minutes. No rounds would be dropped for the championship. There would be a greater spread of points between the point scoring positions.
