2000 Scoring System

[1993SilverstoneNo1]

I was researching the results from the 2000 BTCC last night and I know the drivers could only count their 20 Best Results that season but somehow, the points don't seem to add up, what stumps me the most is that Colin Blair apparently scored 26 Points but his results only add up to 23 Points! Am I going wrong somewhere along the line?

Race 2 at Silverstone (Round 12)
He finished 10th on the road behind 3 Class B cars. Class B cars don't count for overall championship points to Blair got 4 points for finishing 7th in class rather than the 1 point he would have got for 10th.

Same with Tom Kristensen at the second Croft race. Finished 9th on the round behind 3 Class B cars, so scored points for 6th.

Well that solves that problem but that's not all as I will explain later.

Sorry, what was your question?

Don't mind me, I just do the maths and I took dropped scores into account as well so all things considered, what gives?

I've proved that the Final Scores most of the drivers were credited with are inaccurate. I've worked it all out, even taken the dropped scores on board.

Reposting the entire list does help. I'm not going to go through the entire list.

Pick one driver that you think is incorrect, show how you have calculated the numbers and explain exactly what you think is wrong.
