The winner of a race receives $6,000,000, while second place is awarded $5,750,000. Every position after second then receives $125,000 less.

When a manager completes less than 90% of the race distance, the amount is modified by the percentage of the distance completed, so manager who completes 80% of the race distance will only get 80% of the amount specified. However if you complete 90% or more of race distance, you get full race bonus.

In each lower class two managers less will be awarded, so in class 2 only the top 13 places will get this bonus, with champion getting 13 million.
