Points System

Riders and Constructors (manufacturers) compete for respective FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix titles. Teams, meanwhile, compete for a MotoGP Team Championship

For riders, the points which count towards their World Championship total will be those gained in each race. For Constructors, only the highest placed motorcycle of a Constructor will gain points, according to the position in the race.

Teams in the MotoGP class are in principle comprised of two riders. All points scored by both riders in the Team, including substitutes or replacements, will count towards the Team Championship. In the case of a one rider Team then only the points scored by that rider will count towards the Team Championship. Wild card riders will not score points for the Team Championship.

Point System… ITS SIMPLE-MORE YOU SCORE IN EVERY

RACE ,MORE CHANCES OF YOUR WINNING ALL HEARTS

For each race, Championship points will be awarded on the following scale:

1st 25 points 2nd 20 points 3rd 16 points 4th 13 points 5th 11 points 6th 10 points 7th 9 points 8th 8 points 9th 7 points 10th 6 points 11th 5 points 12th 4 points 13th 3 points 14th 2 points 15th 1 point

Results in all races will count for the Championship classification (this was not always the case historically as, for example, the best six results from a ten race season were counted).In the event of a tie in the number of points, the final positions will be decided on the basis of the number of best results (number of first places, number of second places etc.). In the event that there is still a tie then, the date in the Championship at which the highest place was achieved will be taken into account with precedence going to the latest result.

MotoGP and INDIA -Breakthrough is yet to come :- MotoGP doesn’t have the kind of fan following in India as it enjoys in Europe and

Middle East. Corporate India has shown interest in the sport due to its global reach and fan

following. Jaypee F1 circuit is set to host its first race in October2011 in Greater Noida. Same circuit is expected to host its first MotoGP race in 2012 Mahindra has launched its MotoGP team for the 125cc category of the event. This would make it the first Indian corporate to enter the big league of motorcycle

road racing. ''This is part of our global branding strategy. MotoGP gives us access to a global platform wherein we can showcase our design, technology, engineering and IT capabilities,'' said Mahindra group vice-chairman Anand Mahindra. Marketing experts say that Mahindra has leaped a period of 2 years to market the brand on the global map.

In another first, Chennai based Sarath Kumar , an Indian rider is set to enter the 125cc class of MotoGP. It was announced recently that Ten10 Racing, a Bangalore team, has tied up with San Marino-based WTR Team for a provisional entry in the 125cc class. To be called WTR-Ten10 Racing Team, it will field an Indian and an Italian Automaker .

MotoGP and INDIA -Breakthrough is yet to come cont.. While racing is still at its infancy in the country, it commands eyeballs at the

premium and vastly influential end of the market - the urban youth. A fan base of affluent youngsters makes companies confident about the success of the sport in India as well as its ability to attract big-ticket corporate endorsements.

While there are no confirmed figures, the cumulative viewership reach of F1 is estimated at about 30 million (for all races in one year) while that of a premium cricketing property like IPL is 150 million. MotoGP may not command the same numbers as F1, but is surely picking up fast, said industry sources.
