Wow, it's true I'm always just above or below Leo in the scoreboard. We have a very similar level

Still, the most intense duel I found is @dreadnaut vs @Overdrijf that every month is in a draw or in a +1 difference.

We actually coordinate before each race: not too fast, not too slow 🚗🚗

Races 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:

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%

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 77 races)
AAA	45	58.4%
ABB	18	23.4%
AAB	8	10.4%
ABA	5	6.5%
ABC	1	1.3%

Cars in top-6	Races	% (over 77 races)
1	30	39.0%
2	42	54.5%
3	5	6.5%
4	0	0.0%
5	0	0.0%
6	0	0.0%

Great stats! So it also worth the rule change from 2019. Well done!

I 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).
