RCCAOI — Records — RC Ranking

What is counted here — and what is missing

Only what is in this database is counted: 57 races from one series, 2009 to 2015. This page is therefore not an all-time ranking of motorsport, but the leaderboard of this data set.

The period recorded is 2009–2015; 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 100.0 · 2010s 100.0. Anyone who raced in a points-rich era therefore stands higher up.

Period recorded for this selection: 2009–2015; 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 57 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 4 (0%) · 2010s 0 of 53 (0%).

Longest winning streaks

Top 20 · 136 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 136 class standings (one class in one race) from 57 races and 12 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: every one of the 136 class standings in this selection has a recorded winner — none drops out for this reason.

Every one of the 57 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.
