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).

Can I request a stat? "Who won a ZakStunts season with the fewest race victories?"

Actually it already exist:

Ooooh, thank you! Interesting jump from 8/12 to 11/11

Some stats about single-car podiums! The criteria for inclusion is the same as in the site: cars driven by at least three pipsqueaks that didn't reach the main scoreboard podium, in races since 2023 (30 so far).

There are many ways to slice the data here; the full list of entries is attached in case you want to play with it.

Funny, from the original cars the least used is GTO, followed by Corvette, Acura and Indy. All PG cars!!

We could extrapolate with the winner podium car stats which is already in zakstunts statistics. I bet it's almost the opposite.

https://zak.stunts.hu/index.php?page=car-podiums

12 first places for pg cars vs 8 first places for the rest of original cars. Remember there are only 4 pg cars and the others are 7.

It's also curious that the Countach, which is (was?) a very polarising car, is joint second place in that list!

Indeed; there's a correlation in play here, with PG cars reaching podiums more often than average (often through split podiums) and therefore having less opportunities to have single-car podiums.
