| EKN.ca Rotax Senior Driver Rankings |
eKartingNews.ca - in its continued efforts to continually enhance coverage of karting in Canada - is pleased to announce the introduction of the EKN.ca Driver Rankings. The program takes results from the Canadian karting series and drops them into our own proven ranking equation to produce a listing that combine all of the up-and coming drivers into one offering. The EKN.ca Driver Rankings package has been carefully designed to take into consideration the many different variables in an effort to properly weigh the results, with an emphasis placed on the field strength and field size. The following is an explanation of how the points are calculated:
The eKartingNews.ca Driver Rankings are calculated using a driver’s best finishes in selected Canadian karting series (Eastern Canadian Karting Championships, Western Canada Championships, Quebec Cup, and Canadian National Karting Championships). Assembled using events from the last 12 months, we use a driver’s best five Final finishes in order to determine their overall current point total. With each new month, results from the previous year are discarded to deliver the current ranking list.
Each series was initially weighted based on its prestige and history, the events and tracks at which it races, and of course the depth of talent, with a score of 10 being the highest attainable base ranking. For 2012, the Canadian National Championships was given a base ranking of 10, while ECKC, WCC, and Quebec Cup were placed with 8 score.
Added to the initial base ranking is the variable of field size, which helps confirm the importance, strength and competitiveness of the series. A percentage of one weighting point is added for the size of the field, with a full field of 34 cars or more providing one full point. Another full point or fraction of a point will be added based on the field strength of each event. The percentage of the top-25 ranked drivers in the race will also be factored into the final event ranking. The sum of these numbers becomes the overall ranking for any race.
Following a race, drivers receive points based on their finishing positions with 100 points earned for a win. Each subsequent position drops by one point with 99 points given to the second place driver and so on throughout the field. These points are then multiplied by the overall ranking to produce a driver’s final point total from each event. Using a driver’s best 5 races, we calculate each driver’s overall score and subsequent ranking.
