   They run a set number of laps which depends on the track. 1st one to complete all the laps wins the race.

   You get points for finishing position. 5 bonus pts for leading a lap. 5 bonus pts for leading the most laps.

   thats all correct but you dont get 5 bonus points for every lap you have led. it only counts once per race.
