Road Rage Mag

08.01.2014 - Intro: Sup fools! Road Rage will be a magazine that will not be limited to the popular driver articles, or limited to racing stories, it will try to be an all around magazine that can preety much talk about everything sports related or not. Most directed to the autosports fanatics but not limited by it.

---

Beeing the first time that Road Rage is beeing published I (El Tigre aka Tigerman) have decided to open up the magazine with a breakdown on the top 3 competitions in My Racing Career (MRC), let’s call them the BIG3. Them beeing in order of rating coeficient: Indy World Series, NASC Gold Series & F2 World Series.

I know others have done something similar in the past, but not the way I am about to present it to you. I have used a formula that applies more or less weight to certain driver skills based on my own perception of what helps drivers to be fast in MRC. Naturaly there is more to be fast than 'just' driver skills, and that cannot be measured in this breakdown. Basicaly I'm presenting to you guys a sort of Power Rankings (P.R.) that I'm developing, this P.R. is meant to judge who is the fastest drivers on each series based on the formula I am developing. The higher the points a driver gets, the faster that driver can be, on paper that is. This is aimed to take an inside look at the driver's present ability not the future. While doing that we will also show you what series is currently the more competitive top to bottom of the BIG3.

Disclaimer: The following presentation is unique, and does not look to mimic anyone else's.

So what to make of all this you wonder? Ok, I’ll answer, currently the more competitive series of the BIG3 is without a shadow of a doubt the NASC GOLD SERIES! They beat the others in all categories, they have the highest average P.R. the highest top half P.R. and to top it off the highest bottom half P.R. it’s what we call a clean sweep. The second most competitive series of the BIG3 is the F2 WORLD SERIES, they have a better average P.R. among the drivers, and despite having a slight inferior Top Half P.R. they have a huge advantage on the bottom half P.R. so top to bottom they are more competitive while INDY WORLD SERIES is more competitive in the top half.

Here’s the BIG3 breakdown.

AVERAGE POWER RANKINGS

1. NASC GOLD SERIES P.R. Average = 170.5
2. F2 WORLD SERIES P.R. Average = 169.5
3. INDY WORLD SERIES P.R. Average = 166.9

TOP HALF RANKINGS
1. NASC GOLD SERIES P.R. Top Half Average = 178
2. INDY WORLD SERIES P.R. Top Half Average = 177.7
3. F2 WORLD SERIES P.R. Top Half Average = 176.8

BOTTOM HALF RANKINGS
1. NASC GOLD SERIES P.R. Bottom Half Average = 162.6
2. F2 WORLD SERIES P.R. Bottom Half Average = 162.1
3. INDY WORLD SERIES P.R. Bottom Half Average = 155.3

---

Conclusion: So despite not having the highest coeficient rating of the BIG3, the NASC GOLD SERIES is infact the more competitive series this season. And with that I’m not wanting to say that the other series are not competitive or that they do not have fast drivers, naturaly they all do, but top to bottom NASC is where the real competition is this season! Those guys are in for a great season of epic battles between them, may the best driver take the NASC crown!

As a little extra I leave you the overall P.R. of all the drivers participating in the BIG3. Enjoy!
