Gary Cameron Memorial Championship

In 2010, in a universe slightly different to our own, a man called Gary Cameron became a champion, the first king of the reject pile. He did so without winning a race, in a series with the perfect points system: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 for the top 10 cars, no exceptions.
In the interest of applying this to Formula 1, we are going to have to lay down some ground rules:
In the interest of applying this to Formula 1, we are going to have to lay down some ground rules:
- Shared drives share the points. It's more fun, and it's what the site I'm using to make my life easier does.
- All entries count for points. That goes for drivers and constructors: none of that dropped scores nonsense, and if you enter five cars and score the top five positions, congratulations.
- The Indy 500 counts until it doesn't. This is because I'm not spreadsheeting it myself, and thus including the Indy 500 is no extra work.
- The International Cup for F1 Manufacturers begins in 1950, because why not.
- All races score full points, including the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.
- Sprint Races will either count for nothing, or they will count the same as full Grands Prix. I have not decided yet which it will be.
