Prize money increase to €624,000

The prize money reserved for the competitors of the Yokohama Trophy will be increased further in 2011, up to a grand total of 624,000 euros thanks to the support of Yokohama and Monroe.

Just like in 2010, Yokohama will award 40,000 euros at each of the twelve events, meaning 480,000 euros over the season. This prize money will be split among the top six drivers classified by adding together the points obtained in the two races of each event, according to the following scale:

* 12,000 euros to the first driver
* 10,000 euros to the second driver
* 8,000 euros to the third driver
* 5,000 euros to the fourth driver
* 3,000 euros to the fifth driver
* 2,000 euros to the sixth driver

An additional 84,000 euros will be at stake again for the Monroe Performer that allocates 3,500 euros to the driver setting the fastest lap in the Trophy at each race.

New from this year is the 60,000-euro prize money reserved for the drivers at the wheel of cars complying with the 2010 Appendix J (2.0-litre normally aspirated and turbo diesel). This prize money will be awarded to the top three drivers classified by adding together the points obtained in the two races of each event, according to the following scale:

* 2,500 euros to the first driver
* 1,500 euros to the second driver
* 1,000 euros to the third driver

Prize money will be cumulative.
