World Rally Ranking

[MartijnS]

We get a lot of mails of this website..quite annoying imo

lol, amusing reading again, especially the Italy best in rallying, quite an achivement from a country that has not produced absolute top drivers since Sandro Munari.
Maybe this is Rally humor.

You are probably one of those boys that think in wrc are the best drivers of the whole world. Try to have the wider view. Maybe you will be surprised, but italian championship is the best and most challenging national serie. They just don't have money or time to waste for wrc.
One of the funniest things for me is that Wilson is higher than Andreucci.

the top wrc guys cannot be touched by village event winners....the fact that andreucci is 150 years old and still wins in italy says a lot about the level of competition....the battles are very nice indeed but they happen in slow motion.

Monte carlo this year is a good indication of the difference in driver skills between WRC and other events. Same goes for the ridicule hanninen gets from ketomaa when he challenges him in the WRC.

as for the "don't have time to waste part" i think the WRC cannot afford to spend resources on them and not the way you put it.

this ranking is plain stupid from any point of view you look at it.....the guys who invented it should get an award for their stupidity.

I think an overall seeding list would be better. I wreckon it wouldn't be too hard to do, just a lot of data entry from event results.

We have a good system here in NSW that give's co efficients to events based on who is in them.

How it works is like this:-

Starting from scratch

Say Loeb is in an event, he wins it so he gets a 100% for the event. Petter is say 3rd with a co efficient of 99.79 as he's only a few seconds off the pace. If Solberg enters a local event in the same car and wins it, the results from that event get worked out to a co efficient of 99.79.

It could work for WRC and national events, just need to get someone to do the data entry.

Here's the one we have for NSW Rallying.

You are right, im sure the best rally drivers are in WRC.

[PLuto]

You are right, im sure the best rally drivers are in WRC.

I am sure you are wrong. Yes, the best rally driver is in WRC, but others...

Being so sure about this you surely have names of those better drivers?

All statistics lovers, enjoy the ranking:
http://www.worldrallyranking.com

I think it's a decent effort to replicate http://www.castroldriverrankings.com/index.html which is restricting rally drivers to just WRC and IRC, while circuit drivers can score points in 50 championships or so.

The rankings on worldrallyranking.com produces more humour than a very accurate situation, particularly when it comes to local/national rallying. It may be pleasing to see Marco Tempestini (midfielder in Romanian national rally championship) ranked 4th among Italian drivers - ahead of Basso, Travaglia and Fontana - but I don't think anybody believes it's how things stand.

Proton Satria Neo has more points than Xsara WRC...

You mean the Proton 'Septic Nappy'?

That's one of few things I don't find strange. It's not history ranking but current one, so it's normal that car which doesn't start regularly in any international competition, doesn't have points.
