It went well enough that N>1 for this series. I've co-opted the BMW CCA's Spec E36 Points Structure for this series.
* 5 points for taking the green flag at any event.
* 10/7/5/4/3/2/1 points for finishing in 1st-7th place.
* 1 bonus point for each car behind you that does not DNF.
After week 1, the standings look like this (I think - I relied on the replay to tell me who took what position, and fuck fast-forwarding 90 times. If I got it wrong, let me know, and I'll fix it):
[code]
Entry List Points
1. Logue 1 21
2. Turb0Snail 17
3. Krautastic 14
4. Matybara 12
5. Fryskate 10
