Hi, fellows.
The rating calculation is dependent of the amount of wins, podiums, Top 10, and of course, the number of incidents. I suspect that consistency must be one of them. However, there is a number that could be much more valuable to mitigate such problems:
1. Fastest guys get poles and go away almost without any difficult except with some lapped back markers. Risks are minimal. They increase rating by position and incidents without any problem. Some of those racers, when out of a good position, they can cause much trouble as I've seen sometimes. I don't know if they only practice hotlaps, but can't be sideways to nobody.
2. The guys who are behind and midfield are much more prone to have incidents and many of them are not their fault. Many of them needs to reconquer positions and do it very well, without incidents.
The solution for this is the number of overtakes without incidents. It could be used for climb people with medium rating which was hit and was capable of get his positions back without trouble. Another relevant statistical measurement associated could be the number of incidents per hour vs. number of incidents per overtakes, because 1 hour long races could be much 3 times more relevant then 20min races. The rate of incidents per race is 3 times more rating damage on long runs. I noticed that 1h long races don't make my rating increase 3 times as the 20 min ones.
I hope it helps a better rating system and best minimum rating series in a near future.
Cheers.
