2010 New Teams World Championship

[maximilian]

I thought it would be fun to keep tabs on how the new teams would fare if they had their own little championship. For ease, I decided to just assign points according to the longstanding old system of 9-6-4-3-2-1, and to classify cars even if they don't finish the race. Perhaps there could be extra points for "pole" and "fastest lap", but ultimately those are gimmicks. So far, Kovalainen is on track to be World Champion!

Cool idea. Keep it up!

Good work, will be interesting to see how this progresses over the season. One small correction - I think Lotus should have 15+10=25 in the constructors, not 36.

Good work!

Very arbitrary, isn't it? Not only have cars never been classified if they don't cover a certain percentage of the race-winner's distance, but 9-for-a-win was abandoned twenty years ago, and for practically all that time (including 1990, the final 9-6-4-3-2-1 season), only a driver's best X results counted. It wasn't until they went to 10-for-a-win that it became standard to count all results.

Oopsie, sure enough! Thanks, I KNEW I had to have at least ONE mistake in there!

nice iea, could be an interesting development throughout the season

[VkmSpouge]

It's looking good so far, if only Virgin could actually get their cars to the finish.

Very arbitrary, isn't it?

As much as any other points system.

Nice idea

I like classifying all the cars, because at this point, for the new teams at least, how far they go into the race is as significant as their finishing positions.
