I think it's a shame that we only have 2 teams eligible for the Manufacturers standings. So is it possible for us forumers to make them for all of them?

SEAT
Honda
BMW
Vauxhall
Lexus
Alfa Romeo

How does the points system work?

You missed MG ;)

I believe the points system works on the two nominated cars scoring. Cars not scoring points for Manufacturers are effectively ignored in the result and the ones which are scoring get bumped up.

So for instance, today in race 2 Plato won with Turkington 2nd, Chilton 3rd, Turner 4th and Giovanardi in 7th. Tukington and all other non-manufacturer backed entries are ignored. So SEAT get points for 1st and 3rd and Vauxhall get points for 2nd and 4th.

BMW- WSR
Honda- Halfords
Lexus- BTC
Alfa- A-tech even though Murray looks faster

If you're going to do this then it might be better to alter the rules slightly and just say the two highest placed cars from each manufacturer score points. It makes things simpler.

What if factories had their choice of which two cars to score points? Would that work? Are they obliged to keep their nominations to just one team?

Take for instance BMW. Assuming the 49pts that Brown, Jon Brow mentions above is just for Team RAC (position points + any extra points for any fast laps, poles and leading a race), how many points would BMW have if they nominated Mat Jackson and Colin Turkington?

I've just used the top 2 drivers for any make. For race 3 the BMW's used are Jackson and Onslow-Cole. In some races the Toledo of Jones was used for SEAT.
