Just for Fun: The 2010 F1 World Championship, NASCAR Style
As many of you know, I have "borrowed" the F1 points system to score the NASCAR Sprint Cup season the last couple of years. Then I thought , wouldn't be cool to see how the F1 season shakes out using the NASCAR point system.
For those of you not familiar with the NASCAR point system a through explanation of how it works can be found here:
http://www.nascar.com/news/features/...tem/index.html
On top of awarding points based on finishing position, NASCAR also awards points based on laps led (5 points for leading at least 1 lap, and 5 points for leading the most laps). Every driver that starts gets points of some kind.
The knock on NASCAR points system in general is that it seems to award consistency over winning, and there is a nugget of truth to that, however, I'm a firm believer in Win the race, and the points will take care of themselves.
Even though there shouldn't be much of difference at the top of the grid, it really starts to get interesting at the back half of the field. As you'll see here in a minute, a few of the drivers with the new teams should have rides in better equipment, and some, well, are right where they belong.
I plan to keep up with this the rest of the season, and no, I will not be adding that stupid "chase" that the Sprint Cup Series has been saddled with since 2004, this is a straight up race by race deal. The results so far are current through Monaco.
Format is position, name, points, wins,:
