2010 IndyCar with 2010 F1 Points System

[JohnMLTX]

It's the alternative championship done backwards, using the current f1 points applied to this year's indycar season. I figure, enough former f1 drivers are involved with indycar to make it relevant. And to keep things simple, i'm only gonna do the top 10 from each race, and the championship standings.

Here's Sao Paulo

1. Will Power
2. Ryan Hunter-Reay
3. Vitor Meira
4. Raphael Matos
5. Dan Wheldon
6. Scott Dixon
7. Dario Franchitti
8. Mike Conway
9. Helio Castroneves
10. Tony Kanaan

Points:
1. Will Power - 25
2. Ryan Hunter-Reay - 18
3. Vitor Meira - 15
4. Raphael Matos - 12
5. Dan Wheldon - 10
6. Scott Dixon - 8
7. Dario Franchitti - 6
8. Mike Conway - 4
9. Helio Castroneves - 2
10. Tony Kanaan - 1

Constructors:
1. Dallara-Honda - 101

[TomWazzleshaw]

Why aren't you doing a teams championship instead of a constructors championship?

Other than that it looks like a good concept and I can't wait to see how many points Takuma Sato scores

[JohnMLTX]

Next up, St. Pete.

1. Will Power
2. Justin Wilson
3. Ryan Briscoe
4. Helio Castroneves
5. Dario Franchitti
6. Alex Tagliani
7. Danica Patrick
8. Raphael Matos
9. Graham Rahal
10. Tony Kanaan

Points:
1. Will Power - 50
2. Ryan Hunter-Reay - 18
2. Justin Wilson - 18
4. Raphael Matos - 16
4. Dario Franchitti - 16
6. Vitor Meira - 15
6. Ryan Briscoe - 15
8. Helio Castroneves - 14

12. Danica Patrick - 6
13. Mike Conway - 4
14. Tony Kanaan - 2
15. Graham Rahal - 2

Constructors:
1. Dallara-Honda - 202

[JohnMLTX]

Why aren't you doing a teams championship instead of a constructors championship?

Because 1: With Indy factored in, and the random shuffling, it'd be way more complicated; 2: In formula 1 and old cart days, it's constructors; and 3: I find it funny that at every race, I just add 101 points to the Dallara-Honda score.

[thehemogoblin]

Could you flesh this out when it's all done and do the math for the road courses and the ovals separately? You don't have to do it on a per-race basis, because that would just add more clutter to this, however.

[Aerospeed]

I think Dallara-Honda will have a hard time winning the constructors.

Huge sarcasm there

[JohnMLTX]

OK, well, here's the final points tally:

At some point soon, I'll do the Street/Road points and Oval points just like this, and as soon as i figure out the best way to do the team points (any suggestions welcomed), i'll do those for all 3.

23 Takuma Sato 2

Is this a joke? I knew he wasn't great, but I didn't imagine he was this bad

[TomWazzleshaw]

23 Takuma Sato 2

Is this a joke? I knew he wasn't great, but I didn't imagine he was this bad

He only finished like 3 races all season so it's hardly surprising.

He had some serious bansai/bonzai issues.

23 Takuma Sato 2

One ninth place at Edmonton.

The rest were 7 out of top 10 and 9 retirements.
He looked fantastic in some races (mid-Ohio, KANSAS (he ran as high as 3rd!!!), but had an almost magnetic attraction to the wall.
It didn't seem to hurt his spirits that bad, though, when I talked with him after the Texas race.
He's apparently gonna sign for next year, so, fingers crossed, he'll improve.

There's this nifty website called atdhe.net that streams damn near every sporting event you'll ever find on television, stateside or in Europe. Look into it sometime.

Presumably it's legit? Does it cost?

[JohnMLTX]

(http://www.f1-info.cz) has the races uploaded usually a day or 2 afterward.

they also have tons of old f1, gp2, gp3, wsbr, ifm, gpm, autogp, a1gp, champcar, and others all on there, for free.

Do czech it out!

at least we know what to do with the leftover dallara cars after next year: let sato go banzai/bonsai on them!

[JohnMLTX]

OK, here's the Mario Andretti Street/Road Course Championship Trophy points!


1 Will Power 188
2 Dario Franchitti 119
3 Scott Dixon 95
4 Ryan Hunter-Reay 79
5 Ryan Briscoe 77
6 Helio Castroneves 73
7 Justin Wilson 57
8 Raphael Matos 34
8 Tony Kanaan 34
10 Mario Moraes 24
10 Marco Andretti 24
12 Alex Tagliani 21
13 Vitor Meira 15
14 Danica Patrick 14
15 Graham Rahal 14
16 Dan Wheldon 13
17 Paul Tracy 8
18 Mike Conway 7
19 Simona De Silvestro 6
20 E. J. Viso 4
21 Takuma Sato 2
22 Alex Lloyd 1

It should be noted that Will Power secured the trophy (LIKE A BOSS) after Edmonton, with 2 more races to go.
And if IndyCar were run like champcar or f1 (ie. no ovals!), he'd have won the title. Oh well...

Also, the oval championship will be up soon, along with teams for all three. Also, anyone got some ideas as to how I should do teams? I can't figure it out...

[TomWazzleshaw]

Top two scorers from each team at each race will count towards the teams championship. For example at St Petersburg Power (1st), Briscoe (3rd) and Castroneves (4th) all scored points. However only Power's and Briscoe's results will count towards the teams championship. At Barber Motorsports Park which was the next race Castroneves' result (1st) and Power's result (4th) counts towards the teams championship disregarding Briscoe's 6th place finish.

It's free; it's just illegal. They only prosecute uploaders though, so you're fine to watch.

Wait... That means I've been technically breaking laws since I was 4. 0_0

I broke the law today, I was cycling on the pavement (that's sidewalk to our American cousins).
