As far as the points system changing the way drivers behave, the only real difference now that I can see is that there was more impetus in the old system for the one sitting in 2nd to go for first (4 point gain) than there is now (2 point gain), and that the battle for the last point has been moved back two places, meaning that there are two more cars that potentially will scrap for 1 point difference.
Let's assume that the other drivers' behaviour wouldn't have affected the outcome in any meaningful way (if anything, fewer finishing in the points ought to result in more agressive driving at the beginning, and more wrecks).
How much would that have affected the outcome of the races, given the finishing positions (including gaps at the end) of JPM and TGF? That would be an interesting conjecture.

What ARE you talking about? The only thing that affects the races is the races what are you getting at ? forget the old points system all it does give 7th and 8th points and nothing else everyone else just drives flat out and takes what they get, but if you run the races again it would blow your points difference chat like a rubber duck in a tidal wave.
