Trivial facts

- The least amount of teams in one season was 8, in seasons 1 and 2. The highest amount was 12 teams in seasons 5 and 7. In all seasons, a total of 36 different teams have been created, 21 of which only raced one season. Four of these teams were new in season 7.

- The least amount of players getting points in one season was 29 in season 4. The highest amount was 43, reached in season 1, also due to the Festive Challenge. In all seasons, 88 different players scored points coming from 12 different countries all over the world:

- Last seasons saw 7 new players. The best rookie this season was Sabre with 243 points. Previous best rookies were Invictus (season 2), Reh (season 3), Grndl (season 4), Angel (season 5) and Elano (season 6). Reh and Grndl were the only ones who managed to get a podium in their first season, Grndl even won the season.

- Six times someone signed up for a season but never finished a race. These were Matt (R-3 Racecraft, season 3), Wesley (LADA, season 4), Fenderfunk (KMT, season 5 and 6), Minim (Bash, season 5), StevieM (Benetton, season 6) and LaValle (Dn’D, season 6). Last season this didn’t happen.

- Two times someone scored points for a race without finishing it: Bboy and Dantski. This was in season 1 and 2, when qualification points were earned with the fastest time in practice.

- Nine times the opposite happened: players got their points removed after finishing. Sometimes because they weren’t driving for a team and therefore couldn’t score points (Shadowfax, season 4 and Highflyer, season 5), other times because they didn’t drive enough handiloops or attempt them at all (TheKing and Beechy, season 5).

- Until now there is only one team that has signed up for all seven seasons: Tyrrell. Next are SpankyTech and Team Gits which signed up for five seasons.

- Only five players remain who participated in every season: Bboy, DaCheese, JawZ, Mark-s and Middenrat.

- Nine times a team had a replacement in the seasons 1, 2 and 3. Three of these replacements were only temporary. The best replacement led to an improvement of 43% (Dutchy for Racermarkie in JPS Lotus, season 1), the worst replacement only 3% (Sean415 for AndSome in DA.MI.AN, season 3).

- The best Bentley drivers were Rustray (301 points), Mark-S (235 points) and DodgyGeezer (192 points). The three best drivers who managed to become first or second (from the Bentley drivers) in all of their races, and thus always scoring points for Bentley’s team-score were DodgyGeezer (192 points), BunsenJetson (168 points) and AchillesHeel (164 points).

Was looking at this topic, y'know... for old time's sake... and after looking through all the screenshot and records I managed to find an error, and figured I should point it out because that's just the kinda guy I am. Wink

Most points from 1 weekend, solo: 76
Steve (season 3)

If you look at the charts, the scoring is added up wrong. His scores were 16, 25 and 25, which should add up to 66, not 76.

Thus ends my correction of an 8 month old error. Rolling Eyes

the only stat I would say was wrong is the most number of handiloops Smile

it's not your fault.. it's mine for not providing the information but I think it was 13... someone really couldn't count.

handiloops were a pure disaster... and also a great experiment that I would have done no other way.

Thanks again.

A lot of work has gone into this Moldo, thanks Wink

Thanks for doing the scoring this season Moldo and for updating this.

If you changed the thing about drivers who've signed for all seasons to drivers who've participated in all seasons, it's still correct for me, but I drove for Bentley in a certain amount of the races in Season 3.
