Verdict
Section C awards no points; championship scoring is set out in the Sporting Regulations. Technically, compliance is binary: a car must comply with these regulations in their entirety at all times during a Competition (Article C1.3).

Why people argue about this
People often assume that technical compliance is directly tied to race scoring in Formula 1, thinking that non-compliant cars are automatically disqualified from all results. However, the Technical Regulations only dictate which vehicles can participate in a session based on scrutineering outcomes; they don't affect how points are awarded or calculated once a car has passed inspection.
