[devilmaster]

Hi all.

It took a while, but i think I got it. No guarantees, might have made a mistake.

400 Paul Tracy
386 Michel Jourdain Jr. +1
383 Bruno Junqueira -1
326 Patrick Carpentier +1
315 Sebastian Bourdais -1
287 Mario Dominguez
280 Adrian Fernandez +1
275 Darren Manning +1
252 Oriol Servia -2
250 Alex Tagliani
224 Jimmy Vasser
224 Mario Haberfeld
205 Ryan Hunter-Reay +1
196 Roberto Moreno -1
143 Tiago Montiero
118 Rodolfo Lavin +2
85 Max Papis
82 Geoff Boss +2
66 Gualter Salles
65 Mika Salo -4
57 Joel Camathias +1
46 Patrick Lamarie -1
22 Alex Yoong
15 Roberto Gonzalez
10 Bryan Herta
10 Alex Sperafico
2 Luis Diaz


Disclaimer: I had to make a command decision in a couple of areas:
1. The new point for most improved position in the race. In the case of a tie of most spots gained, I only gave the point to the driver with the better final position. I don't know how ChampCar will give that point out.

2. According to CART timing and scoring pages, drivers who didn't start the race (Coyne racing in Vancouver comes to mind) did not show a starting position or final position, therefore I decided not to score points for them.

The +/- number beside some drivers shows a move up or down in the standings from last years numbers to this years numbers. Probably the biggest winner in terms of points was Lavin who garnered alot of points.

sheesh. after all that, I go to CW and find someone did it before me. i'm a :gomer:

and our numbers differ. but we took different looks at how to score the best improved position point. He gave it to both drivers in case of a tie.

dm, very interesting, thanks for doing that.

I'm surprised that there is little difference between the two.

Thanks Steve...now what would be really cool is the last 20 years... :p

(I'm sure the braniacs at HQ have already done it to test the system)

Thanks Steve, seeing as how I don't go to CW I would have missed this if it were not for you.

Cheers mate, interesting reading. :thumbup:
