With rain in the forecast for Saturday, on which the fifth round of qualifying and the 4WD finals are scheduled, the qualifying points are extra important; the final standings could be awarded based on the qualifying points after four rounds if the track becomes unrecoverable. Here's what the current points look like, using each driver's best two rounds of the four completed with consideration to IFMAR's tiebreaker rules — which state that the first tiebreaker is each driver's single lowest points (on which Ty Tessmann and David Ronnefalk are still tied), then it goes to each consecutive non-throwout round (on which they're still tied), and then finally to each driver's fastest time from the counted rounds, where Tessmann wins by 2.547 seconds.
