Can someone answer me a stupid question.... do you count wins in podiums? (i.e. Neil's 13 wins and 9 2nd/3rd places doesn't become 13 wins and 22 podiums?).

Ron.
I have back tracked through Andy Sheppards results in class A. He had 12 wins and 8 podiums but the total podiums on Wiki counts as 20. So it would appear that wins count a podiums.
Therefore 13 wins and 9 podiums (all point scoring) count as 22 podiums.

Time for an update of Wiki me thinks.

Can someone confirm if this is correct. Also, if you had someone with 10 wins and 18 podiums and another with 9 wins and 25 podiums, who comes first? I would assume wins trumps podiums, then podiums decides position on list amongst those with the same wins?... Or is it podiums that count first?

Looking at Wiki it's wins first.

583 championship:

1: Dominic Clegg 12 Wins. 30 Podiums

2: Sam West 10 Wins. 14 Podiums

3: Phil Huntley 9 Wins. 12 Podiums

4: Andy Sheppard 8 Wins. 15 Podiums

5 Matt Traynar 8 Wins. 12 Podiums

6: Harriet Ridley 5 Wins. 21 Podiums

620 Championship:

1: Andy Sheppard: 12 Wins. 20 Podiums

2: Geoff Spencer 12 Wins. 19 Podiums

3: Kyle Hinton 11 Wins. 19 Podiums

4: Tim Pritchard 9 Wins. 22 Podiums

5: Ian Cobby 9 Wins. 12 Podiums

6: Dominic Cann 8 Wins. 32 Podiums

[bradders]

seems straight forward.

wins = number of 1st
podiums = total of all 1st, 2nd , 3rd

so 10 wins and 18 podiums means 10 1sts and 18 1/2/3rd...right???!




probably not - like most things DSC its more complicated than it need be

[Jolley]

This isn't a DSC thing.... Just after what convention is. Seems odd to count them twice, but if that is it, that is what we use.

I will also assume wins places in list first, with podiums sorting those on same number of wins..

I will leave anyone on the original list there (all very worthy), and add to the list anyone (such as Neil) that beats anyone already there.

I have no idea as i wasn't involved with it but this year there will be 23 races to the Championship so 69 podiums per class

So a good chance for the records to change

Yep records are there to be broke.

Always nice to have your name on the list though.

Neil, I have finally got around to adding you in. Unfortunately, I have had to put myself on the Class B list also (not sure I totally deserve it, and find it hard to believe I am the only one from Class B this year, but the numbers just seem to add up that way - I haven't fiddled it, honest!). If anyone else thinks they should be on the list, please post here.

Hey Ron, if your not in it you can't win it and you won plenty so Im sure it's right.
