That's a great point. I also wonder if this is to allow some drives for "sneaky platinums" (those exist, right?).

I'm not positive of the driver for the change, but bumping up the race points by ten allows the normal pts to be given for qualifying. Otherwise we'd have 35 for the win, and 3.5 for the pole. Would have rather seen a 3-2-1 point allocation for qualifying, but, my application for rule writing hasn't even been reviewed by HR.
I can tangibly tell the different between 63 and 58 points. 745 and 680 takes a split second and a smidgen more mental math effort.
