On every race, the top 12 racers receive points in a linear system.
There are 12 tracks in a season. So maximally you can earn 12x12=144 points? No. Every racer deserves some rest. So every season only your best 10 races count. This way you don't have to worry if you go away on a longer holiday or arrived only in March to the competition. This is it in a nutshell. You can always review the most important rules and the point system on the rules page.

In order to encourage newly arrived racers, their scores are shown on a separate scoreboard. When a racer joined the competition less than 18 months ago, he is no longer a newbie and his result won't be shown in the newbie league. In order to allow "late arrivals" the worst 4 results don't count in the newbie season scoring.

Let's review briefly what can you see on the scoreboard:
Name: Racer's name if you click on it, you get to see the racer profile.
Country: The flag of the racer's homeland.
Time: The result modified by the car coefficient. In brackets: improvement from the previous sent time.
Diff: Difference calculated from the current leader.
Car: The car used for the result.
Transm: Transmission used. Pro drivers use manual transmission, and it is not hard to learn it.
Driven: The result driven without the car coefficient's modification.
Sent: The date and time of the replay submitted to the scoreboard.
Points: Points earned by the current position.

Below the scoreboard you can see the summary of the leading hours required for the Leading Time Bonus calculation. This won't affect you for a while, read about this on the rules page. You can also review the results of previous track sby selecting its code from the dropdown box above the board.

The Seasonal results and Team results tables are automatically regenerated every 10th minute. You can sort it according to your taste by clicking on the wanted header cell. Two fields require explanation:
SUM: The summary of the points including the currently running race as well.
REAL: The summary of the points NOT including the two worst results (default sorting parameter)

This conludes almost everything. Read about the rest in the last chapter of this guide.
