Changes for the 2025 season include the removal of the bonus point awarded for setting the fastest lap in a Grand Prix, along with an increase in the requirement of fielding a ‘young driver’ during free practice from once per season to twice.

There are all kinds of racing. Most have tried gimmicks to make themselves more marketable. IMSA tried fast lap points back in the 60s. What happen was the car that was in the lead most usually got the fast lap points, only increasing their point lead further when they won. There really was no value added so IMSA gave up on the idea.
