who leads each of the nine dimensions this season What we measureHow it works
Strip the car out
Every measure compares a driver with what their own car should deliver, so a P12 in a backmarker can outrank a podium in the quickest car.
Nine dimensions, one grade
Race pace, qualifying, starts, tyres, wheel-to-wheel, consistency, pit execution, cleanliness and overdelivery combine into one race grade, 6 to 10.
