Chat - Misc / Re: World Cup 2026
Last post by HerrNove - June 22, 2025, 10:38:04 PMThe increase to 48 teams is another step towards the transformation of football from a sport into show business. At least it's less horrible than the present "club world cup".
As an Italian, not qualifying for a 48-team competition would be an unprecedented humiliation, but since the downfall of our football movement has been matched by our incredible rise in a ton of other sports, I don't particularly mind. I hope my wife's team, Indonesia, manages to qualify, but it will be very hard.

Last post by Duplode - June 20, 2025, 12:28:56 AMQuote from: alanrotoi on June 19, 2025, 07:23:44 PMI wonder if top 4 stats would be much different from top 3. I think that usually there aren't 4 different contenders for the title per year.
That's an interesting angle! Let's expand the stats to top-4 and top-6, then:
Going from podium to top-4 we typically see one to three extra pipsqueaks. The exceptions are 2002, 2019 and 2024 (zero) and 2003 (four).

Last post by alanrotoi - June 19, 2025, 07:23:44 PMGreat stats! So it also worth the rule change from 2019. Well done!

General Chat - ZSC / Re: Statistics!
Last post by Duplode - June 19, 2025, 03:46:56 PMRaces by pattern of cars on the podium (AAA = single-car podium, ABB = winner differs from the other two, etc.) and by number of cars in the top-6, from ZCT080 to ZCT286:
It is worth noting the 2019 change to the bonus rules has led to a marked shift in these stats. Before that, the coefficients were further apart from each other, as bonus points were exchanged much faster, which meant multi-car races were quite rare for most of the 2010s. (For instance, there's a run of single-car podiums from ZCT162 to ZCT187 -- that's 26 races, more than two full seasons!) Below are the same stats, but for 2019 and on only (so starting from ZCT210):
| Podium | Races | % (over 207 races) |
| AAA | 144 | 69.6% |
| ABB | 31 | 15.0% |
| AAB | 19 | 9.2% |
| ABA | 10 | 4.8% |
| ABC | 3 | 1.4% |
| Cars in top-6 | Races | % (over 207 races) |
| 1 | 102 | 49.3% |
| 2 | 88 | 42.5% |
| 3 | 14 | 6.8% |
| 4 | 3 | 1.4% |
| 5 | 0 | 0.0% |
| 6 | 0 | 0.0% |

Competition 2025 / Re: Cars and rules for 2025
Last post by Duplode - June 15, 2025, 01:44:03 AMQuote from: HerrNove on June 14, 2025, 07:52:59 PMI can see nowhere in the rules that a team's score is only determined by its best two drivers. Am I missing something?
Indeed! It looks like that information used to be in the seasonal scores section of the rules, was removed for the 2008 season (which exceptionally didn't feature a team competition) but never restored, even though the scoring remained unchanged all along. I have added it back, thanks!
Quote from: HerrNove on June 14, 2025, 07:52:59 PMBtw congrats for your lap, you managed to calm down the competitors for a whole day
I'm surprised, too -- an entire day, imagine that
