Across all series

ELO ranking

40,102 drivers rated · 7,947 races evaluated

The ELO system rates drivers across all series from their results; the starting point is 1500. A win against highly rated opposition is worth more than one against weaker drivers. Every rated driver is listed, even with just one scored race; values from 1800 upwards are shown in amber. Retirements count, and they count through their finishing position: anyone who retires and is still given a position in the result list — the normal case in RC racing, because the standing is based on heats and laps completed — is rated at that position. If there is none, he is placed behind the last classified driver of the race — those drivers without a position share one rank among themselves, as do drivers disqualified afterwards without a position. Anyone who does not start at all (DNS, DNQ, withdrawal before the start) is left out — even when the result list gives him a position.
