My first created post

I would like to guage the opinion of the forumula forum folk. I'm putting together my own Formula 1 scrapbook is comprised of:

Driver names
History
Race Results
Team information (name, drivers, car, engine & points)
Car Images
Stats.

Its the Stats in which I would like some opinons. The stats I'm currently compiling are:
Points
Races
Points Finishes
Average Points
Podiums
Fastest Laps
Pole Positions
Wins
Win Percentage
Championships
Retirement Percentage
DSQ's
DNQ
Amount of races with no win
Amount of races til first win

A pretty comprehensive list, I hope you'll agree, however I want to add a "Maximum Points Percentage" stat in, mainly due to the points system changes for next year. As it will become MUCH easier for a driver to score very highly, the Max Points percentage is more reflective of the drivers skill, however what I cannot decide is this. Should I count the races in a season that a driver did not participate? Said driver may have been injured or simply not entered by their team, should the Max Points Percentage include races that they were not entered into?

I would say you only include races the driver was at.It's a bit harsh to mark someone down in % cus they miss races like Massa this season for example.

Yep I agree. Most of that info is available on FORIX though

It would be a bit far for you to commute from Oxford, and plus me doing this doesn't mean there is work to do.....I'm just finding other things to do.

Use the same points system for every driver, so it gives a true representation.
