Motorsport Power Rankings
Eurosport - Mon, 14 Jul 14:07:00 2008
Casey Stoner is the big winner in the latest Motorsport Power Rankings, which now include IRC contenders!
The Power Rankings are our attempt to establish who is the best driver or rider across the wide world of motorsports.
We rate competitors from 13 different events - seven cars, six bikes - and pit them against each other based on their results.
See below for a full explanation of the system.

HOW IT WORKS
Drivers and riders can only score points by finishing on the podium.
Win = 10pts
Second = 6pts
Third = 3pts
Points are then divided by the number of races to leave an average score.
For Tier 1 events, the average is the final score.
For Tier 2 events, the average is multiplied by 0.8 to find the final score.
TIER 1 EVENTS: Formula 1, WRC, WTCC, Nascar, IRL, MotoGP, World Superbikes.
TIER 2 EVENTS: IRC, BTCC, 250cc, 125cc, World Supersport, British Superbikes.

Comment 1 - 13 of 13
Ummm.... No. Kyke has already won on two road courses this year in two different classes.
Who is Kyle Busch? Is he one of those guys who only goes round in anticlockwise circles?
Kyle Should now have a 4.3 using his Cup points only.
7 Wins, 1 second and 2 thirds = 86 Divide by 19 Events = 4.3 average.
In the Busch/NWS series
5 Wins 3 seconds and 1 third = 71 Divide by 19 Events = 3.7 average.
In Truck series
2 Wins 2 seconds 0 thirds = 32 Divide by 8 Events = 4.0 average.
I concede that the Truck and Busch/NWS series are second tier, but his points still deserve a mention.
Lewis Ham's dad should be in the list :))
Yea my bad Philliec, I left a comment assuming NASCAR would not be in tier 1 on the list. Don't get me wrong, I like the characters in NASCAR but it always seems like controversy makes all the headlines after the weekend and not racing.
what are Nascar and Irl doing in teir 1 they are just US
TIER 1 EVENTS: Formula 1, WRC, WTCC, NASCAR, IRL, MotoGP, World Superbikes.
Kev. Read before you comment mate ;)
Epic Fail.
ho is kimi = with massa
why are nascar and IRL in teir 1 when they are us only
I would be No1 if i could drive.............or ride!!
NASCAR isn't included on the list. You should get Kyle Busch to join a racing series that isn't controlled by yellow flags.
*number crunching later*
Okay, by your formula there, Kyle Busch SHOULD be up there. He has an average rating of 4.0.
40 points for his four victories, 6 for his second and another 6 for his pair of thirds.
No Kyle Busch?
Your having a laugh!
