Standings
How race points are awarded, which weeks count, and how team standings work.
Seasons lists every running and finished season with its series. Open a series to see its championship table. This page explains how the points in that table are worked out.
Reading the table
Select a series on Seasons to open it. The Drivers tab shows:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Div | Your division, from your current ELO. See Ratings. |
| Races | Races you started in this series |
| Wins | Race wins in this series |
| W1, W2, ... | Your points for that week. A dot means no result. Dimmed weeks are dropped. |
| Total | The sum of your counted weeks |
The table is ordered by Total. On equal points, more wins ranks higher.
Points per race
Last place scores 2 points. Every place gained adds 4 points in the bottom third of the field, 6 in the middle third and 8 in the top third. The podium adds a bonus of 3 (1st), 2 (2nd) and 1 (3rd).
The field size is the number of classified cars: finishers plus drivers who did not finish. Drivers who did not start score nothing.
Base points for some field sizes:
| Position | 6 cars | 12 cars | 20 cars |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 37 | 73 | 119 |
| 2 | 28 | 64 | 110 |
| 3 | 19 | 55 | 101 |
| 4 | 12 | 46 | 92 |
| 5 | 6 | 38 | 84 |
| 6 | 2 | 32 | 76 |
| Last | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Strength of field
The strength of field (SOF) is the average ELO of the drivers who started. Base points are multiplied by a factor that depends on the SOF:
| SOF (baseline 1500) | Factor |
|---|---|
| 900 or lower | 0.25 (minimum) |
| 1100 | 0.5 |
| 1300 | 0.75 |
| 1500 | 1.0 |
| 1800 | 1.5 |
| 2100 | 2.0 |
Above the baseline the factor rises by 1.0 for every 600 SOF, below it falls by 1.0 for every 800 SOF, and it never drops under 0.25. The baseline is a season setting and defaults to 1500. Points are rounded to one decimal.
Example. You win in a 12-car field with SOF 1800: 73 × 1.5 = 109.5 points.
The race result shows the SOF of a ranked race next to Ranked. See A race page.
Weeks and drop weeks
A season is divided into weeks, and every race belongs to one week.
- If you race more than once in a week, only your best race that week counts.
- Only your best weeks count towards the total. The rest are drop weeks and shown dimmed.
The number of counted weeks is set per season and shown under the series name, for example "Best 9 of 12 weeks count" (the default). A single event counts its one race.
Tip
Because weeks drop, a bad race or a missed week does not end your championship. Missing a week simply uses one of your drop weeks.
Team standings
The Teams tab ranks teams in the series.
- Each driver contributes their best race of the week.
- A team's score for a week is the average of its best three drivers that week (the average of two, or one, if fewer scored).
- Every week counts: there are no drop weeks for teams.
- Drivers is how many of the team's drivers have scored in this series.
A driver's points go to the team they are in now. See Teams.
When the table updates
Points are added as soon as a race's results are rated. Steward penalties change the classification and the points of that race. The whole table is recalculated every night and after each penalty. See Reports.
Points are awarded for every race on the calendar, including races run by an Unranked host. See Ratings for what counts towards ELO and Safety Rating.
