Championship Points

 

ACT HILL CLIMB CHAMPIONSHIP 2025: METHOD OF CALCULATING POINTS

At every club one lap hillclimb, Championship points are allocated as follows:

  • 1 Point for each completed run on the day, to a maximum of 5 points

THEN

  • 7 Points For First in Class
  • 5 Points For Second in Class
  • 4 Points For Third in Class
  • 3 Points for Fourth in Class
  • 2 Points for Fifth in Class
  • 1 Point for Sixth in Class

THEN

  • 1 Point For breaking an existing Class Record.
    • This will be awarded to the new record holder at the end of the event.
    • Only 1 point for breaking an existing class record can be awarded for each class at each one lap club event.

This means a maximum of 13 Points can be scored by a driver at a club one lap event.

Restrictions

  • Only club one lap events count towards the Championship.
    • Two lap events, Tri-Series events and State Rounds do not count to the Championship point score.
  • If a driver enters to compete in two vehicles, Championship points and any records broken are ONLY given to the vehicle that the driver nominates on their Entry Form as their ‘nominated’ vehicle.

Tie Breaking 

  • In the event of tied points at the end of the year, both the ACT Hill Climb Champion and Class Champions will be determined by count back. The method of count back is:
    • If neither driver has broken a class record, the driver who has the time closest (in percentage terms) to the existing class record for their car in which they have most competed during the year will be the champion.

Tie breaking examples

EXAMPLE Driver 1 (Class A, Over 3000) best time 49.87s, record 48.60s => 2.6132% slower

Driver 2 (Class F, 0-1600) best time 48.27s, record 48.00s => 0.5625% slower

Driver 2 would be the winner.

b. If only one driver has broken a class record, then that driver will be the Champion.

c. If both drivers have broken a class record, then the driver who breaks the existing class record at the time by the largest amount (in percentage terms) will be the Champion.

EXAMPLE Driver 1 (Class A, Over 3000) best time 47.87s, record 48.46s => 1.2325% faster

Driver 2 (Class F, 0-1600) best time 47.97s, record 48.00s => 0.0625% faster

Driver 1 would be the winner.

The most recent class record set by each driver will be used for this calculation.

Minimum Participation for Championship Elegability

  • Competitors are required to compete in a minimum of three events to win a Class Championship, as recorded in the final results for eligible events.
