Presumably it will operate in the same manor as the BJR, GRM and MWR wildcards did this year.

The ability to score points will be the same as applies to the other wildcards. But really who would notice or care that its driver is elevated from 36th to 34th in the standings? A ‘start and park’ would defeat the whole purpose of the exercise which is to test the engine in a race environment. And its not going to dominate straight out of the box.

No, I am sure that whatever restrictions apply on number of wildcard starts will apply.
