What is counted here — and what is missing

Only what is in this database is counted: 1,786 races from one series, 2003 to 2016. This page is therefore not an all-time ranking of motorsport, but the leaderboard of this data set.

The period recorded is 2003–2016; anything before that is missing entirely.

For two of the records the field itself is patchy as well: starting grids and fastest race laps. How much is missing there is given in figures at the respective section.

Most points

Top 20 · Points systems not comparable
Data coverage: Points

The scale shifts within a single series too. Average points for a win: 2000s 191.4 · 2010s 139.4. Anyone who raced in a points-rich era therefore stands higher up.

Most championship titles

Top 20

Period recorded for this selection: 2003–2016; successes from the years before that are missing entirely. Only dependable championships are counted as well: ongoing seasons and standings that are merely recomputed from the points total, as well as regional standings (North, West, Central, South, East), are left out — which ones those are and why is explained in the note on the champions page.

Most pole positions

Data coverage: Pole positions

Measured on this request: not a single one of the 1,786 recorded races has a pole position on file — which is why this ranking stays empty. Not because there was none: the information is missing from the source.

By decade: 2000s 0 of 983 (0%) · 2010s 0 of 803 (0%).

Most fastest laps

Data coverage: Fastest race laps

Measured on this request: not a single one of the 1,786 recorded races has a fastest race lap on file — which is why this ranking stays empty. Not because there was none: the information is missing from the source.

Longest winning streaks

Top 20 · 4,885 class standings
What is counted here: winning streaks

Counted is the longest streak of consecutive races in THE SAME series AND THE SAME class that the same driver won outright. A streak is broken only by a race he ENTERED and did NOT win: a race he did not start at all is skipped — in RC racing hardly anyone attends every event, many only the rounds in their region. Every class keeps its own streak: a win in another class does not extend it — and a race in which that class was not run does not break it either. The order is that of the race calendar (season, round) — not that of the dates, which differ for rescheduled rounds. The turn of the year breaks nothing: a streak may carry past the end of a season, and an absence may bridge it for any length of time — there is no upper limit on the gap.

Championship rounds — recognisable by the name suffix „(DM)", „(EM)" or „(WM)" — do NOT break a streak: they sit in the middle of their series' calendar and mostly at the end of a season, and whoever loses one would otherwise lose every turn of the year. If a driver wins such a round, it counts entirely normally.

Measured on this request: this selection covers 4,885 class standings (one class in one race) from 1,786 races and 45 classes. The class name comes from the source unchanged — if a series renames its class, for instance because a sponsor is in the name, that counts as a different class and the streak starts again there.

Measured on this request: 9 of 4,885 class standings in this selection do have result rows but no driver in first place (among them the series whose source gives only points and no positions). They break the streak of every driver who started there: an unknown winner is not counted as a win here. Anyone who was not entered keeps their streak.

Every one of the 1,786 races in this selection has result rows; no whole race is skipped here.

A streak always stays within ONE series and ONE class: a win in another series or class neither extends nor interrupts it. And as everywhere on this site, only what is in this database counts — if a series starts here only midway through its history, the streaks before that are missing entirely.
