2025-05-08 update: monthly updates spun off from the general thread (https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4079.0) into this separate topic.
The ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT258! This is the first public update of the rankings. This round, we have seen two pipsqueaks returning to the ranking, Friker and Ryoma, and Argammon further improving his personal best from ZCT257. No new entries in the rankings quite yet, though Erik needs just one more counting race entry for that.
The ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT259! In this round, I move into the lead after a run of 13 races at the top by Alan; Argammon (for the third consecutive race) and Frieshansen improve their personal records; and Erik makes his first appearance in the rankings.
@alanrotoi and
@Argammon : As a first step towards showing the evolution of ratings, below is a chart with the rating changes for ranked pipsqueaks over the past twelve races (a workbook with the values is attached to the post). If all goes to plan, I'll add a chart along these lines to the site in an update in the near future.

Looks like my efforts do result in improvement :)

It would be a great honor to become the highest ranked European driver in the historical rankings. The south Americans are out of reach. 8)
The ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT267! Personal best ratings were attained this round by Argammon (retaking the current ranking lead, and entering the historical top 5!), me, Frieshansen, Mark Nailwood and Spoonboy (triple digit improvement!). Below is the evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/de6CaTg.png)

The end of season 2023 update of the ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) is now live! Personal best ratings were attained by the champion Argammon (within touching distance of the 2300 mark), Erik, Mark Nailwood and Spoonboy (fabulous progress from the three of them along the season). The evolution chart, now covering the whole season, is below. I'll hopefully find enough time to compile some extra stats during the pre-season weeks -- let me know if you'd like to see anything in particular!

The ZCT270 chequered flag brings the first 2024 Folyami update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)! Reigning champion Argammon retains a solid lead for the moment, even with his break, while race winner Alan Rotoi markedly closes the gap to me at the second place. Mark Nailwood and Spoonboy have reached personal best ratings once more. Another stand-out pipsqueak in this round was Shoegazing Leo, who had an excellent +47 rating improvement on the crest of a sustained upward trend. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/j3g7WZF.png)
After a bit of a delay, here is the ZCT271 Folyami update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)! (Edit: fixed the link) Ratings-wise, this was a good round for the top 5 generally, with Mark Nailwood and Zapper reaching personal best ratings. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/pDRPY50.png)
The ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT272! Two personal best ratings in this round: Spoonboy (a +50 change brings him to a very busy slice of the table!) and Zapper (second round in a row). Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/S8h8nd4.png)
And here is the ZCT273 update of the ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)! In this round, Argammon spectacularly reappeared on deadline day to reassert his lead, becoming only the fourth pipsqueak ever to reach 2300 points! New medallist Mark Nailwood, Spoonboy and Zapper have also reached personal best ratings. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/E0rhwyF.png)
Spoonboy's growth is especially noticeable!
The ratings have been updated for ZCT274! Four personal best ratings in this round: Mark Nailwood, Spoonboy, Zapper (that remains a very busy slice of the charts BTW!) and me. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/D5TtIov.png)
ZCT275 ratings update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html): in this round, personal best ratings were reached by Mark Nailwood, Spoonboy and me. Also, I'm glad to note we have two new entrants in the rankings: Mortimer McMire and ZdnBurns! Here is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/d3aZXN1.png)
The ZCT276 update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html), just in time before 277 ends :D Personal best ratings for Spoonboy and me this time. Here is the evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/kTukwhc.png)
Here are the ratings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) after ZCT277! In a round of big point swings, race winner Alan halved the gap to the second place. Mortimer McMire reached a personal best, while satanziege has returned to the current ranking. This is the updated evolution chart:

I'm trying to make a triangle waveform (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_wave) ;D
Here is the ZCT279 update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) of the ratings! Personal best ratings were attained by the Am League title contestants, Mortimer McMire and Ryoma, who also had the two biggest positive rating changes in the round (+70 and +29 respectively). We also had two new entries: Alecu and Stein Viterbo. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/9pKA9V2.png)
Time for the November update of the rankings! Before that, a feature announcement: as promised a few months ago, an interactive full history graph (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami/graph.html) is now available! You can also download the CSV with the ratings from the same page.
On to the ZCT280 rankings themselves: by flying on an Indy to the top of the podium, Argammon has not just retaken the current ranking lead while setting another personal best, but also taken the second place in the historical ranking! The previous change of positions in the historical podium had been in 2016, and the last time someone had newly reached it was in 2009. That's not something you'll see every day. Congratulations Argammon!
It was a busy race elsewhere in the current ranking, too! Besides Argammon, Mortimer (+82 change!), Ryoma and Spoonboy (reaching the 1900 points milestone) have reached personal bests. Last but not least, Chulk has returned to the competition, and to the current ranking -- welcome back!
Below is the updated evolution chart:

Here is the end of season update of the rankings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)! Four pipsqueaks attained a personal best in the final round: Argammon, Mortimer, Spoonboy and me. ZCT281 also saw Akoss Poo and Daniel3D back to the rankings. Here is the evolution graph covering the whole year of 2024:
(https://i.imgur.com/tFmHmrG.png)
Here is the Folyami update (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) after ZCT282! After an eventful first race of the new season, personal best ratings were attained by Argammon (+2 atop of his leading position), Frieshansen and Spoonboy (moving in tandem towards the 2000 points mark). Sizable gains also include those by race winner Alan Rotoi (+36, now nearly back to the 2200s), Overdrijf (+46, biggest increase among ranked pipsqueaks) and Shoegazing Leo (+33, continuing a long-term trend of steady improvement). This race also saw afullo, KyLiE and Usrin returning from breaks. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/OhpGgUg.png)
The rankings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT283! Argammon and Frieshansen have reached personal best ratings in this round. Another highlight is Alan Rotoi being back into the 2200s range, not having dropped points in any race from ZCT275 on. There is also plenty of action going on below the surface: though HerrNove, MiDiaN and Raskolnikovik still need a few more completed races to enter the rankings, they are already making good progress and stacking up points. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/wG0XhVL.png)
Here is the ZCT284 update of the rankings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)! The main news in this round is that Argammon has tied Ayrton's long-standing record of 2351 points, and is now very close to taking the lead in the historical ranking! Besides Argammon, Frieshansen has also reached a personal best, while satanziege has returned to the current ranking. Below is the updated evolution chart:
(https://i.imgur.com/7hChT32.png)
The rankings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT285, and this update is a momentous one!
After 7185 days, the historical ranking has a new leader! With his ZCT285 victory, Argammon has now overtaken Ayrton, with an all-time record of 2365 points. That is a major achievement, congratulations Argammon! 🎉
Another very significant result was by KyLiE, who has reached the 2000 points milestone! KyLiE is the first pipsqueak to newly reach that since Alan Rotoi on ZCT241, halfway through the charge for his first title in 2021. It's also worth mentioning that Frieshansen is a whisker away from the 2000 mark, reaching 1999 points at the end of this round. Looks like we'll see fierce competition ahead! ;)
There's also a new entrant in the rankings: MiDiaN, who, on an impressive run of three consecutive podiums so far, lands right behind KyLiE and Frieshansen at 1988 points! That is the highest new entry score ever, beating another longstanding record from Ayrton (ZCT052, 1967 points).
(By the way, reviewing the data for these stats made me catch a mistake: I had missed the tie for third place on ZCT062. That means Renato Biker's score after that race, which is the third highest new entry score behind MiDiaN and Ayrton, is 1961 rather than 1951. While the ripple effects of that correction have long since dissolved into rounding error, they do mean Ayrton's former overall record score is 2352 rather than 2351, and so Argammon and Ayrton weren't rigorously tied on the historical ranking at the end of ZCT284. Anwyay, they are not tied now either :) )
Personal best ratings were attained by Argammmon, Frieshansen and KyLiE. Below is the updated evolution chart -- also, it feels fitting to have a look at the full history chart (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami/graph.html) now and relish the moment!

Congratulations
@Argammon! :D
Thanks
@Duplode and
@KyLiE! ;D This achievement means a lot more to me than an eventual second Zakstunts championship title. Actually, obtaining the latter wasn't my goal when I entered this season.
I guess I will distribute some of my hard-earned points to other pipsqueaks sooner or later. (where is the laughing emoticon when you need it)
The rankings (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html) have been updated for ZCT286! After waiting nearly four years for the 2000 points milestone to be reached anew, we've now had it twice in quick succession: MiDiaN, with a second place (his best race result so far, and a whisker away from a first win!), has smashed through the 2000 barrier, and is now third in the current ranking! This round has also seen another new entry, with HerrNove joining the rankings -- and already closing in on the 1900 mark. Personal best ratings were attained by Argammon, KyLiE, MiDiaN and Mortimer.
