Aren't they?
I'm looking at the Avesco operations manual PDF files. According to it, there are a lot of races that are awarded more points than others. Some races award 192 points, with others 96 points for 1st place.
And how's this for being ludicrous? Bathurst, if you come last, you earn 68 points, which is 4 more than if you come first in any of the races at the Queensland round.
So, with that in mind, doesn't this skew the race results? You can have a DNF at one one, where your closest competitor wins and earns 64 points. He then DNFs during, say Bathurst, you come last, and you're up on him by 4 points.
And in any case, the idea of rewarding losers in competition, to me, is laughable.
Nope, fixed points for all races down to say, 15th. That way, the "competitors" who circulate merely for appearance money, or to accrue points without really trying aren't given squat. Let 'em fight for that 1 point that 15th place earns them.
