I have the data, we can tweak the parameters and see how the list changes. For example we can make EstWRC version with 10 000 points for a championship title so champions will be for sure at the front. I'll get back to that later when I have more time.

But happy new year everyone!

You can't please em' all

Happy new year everybody!

So, no Greensmith and Serderidis, dissappointed lol

PS! I tend to like the original list better (read: Sainz vs Mäkinen...)

Good list, maybe not fully for "my" taste but it's much better and adequate than the Dirtfish one.

And also there's some metrics in it while maybe you (or we) can develop the logic behind it overall very good job!

I'm not sure it's much better than the Dirtfish one.....seems a bit of flawed data.

In which way?

We can argue until the cows come home about the rest but can anyone honestly disagree with at least the top four here? I’m pretty sure the top three is how I voted in the Dirt Fish poll

In my original list Sainz was fourth, and I think he deserves to be ahead of Mäkinen although the title numbers suggest otherwise. Remember RAC 1998, had things gone a bit differently, titles could be 3-3 between the two, and in that case Sainz would be clearly better in terms of other achievements.

Exactly! In my eyes it's 3-3 between Sainz & Mäkinen.
Careerwise Sainz did more.
