End of season five.

Overall Career Rank - 5.257
Sports Car Rank - 5.213
Touring Car Rank - 5.377
Open Wheel Rank - 5.212
Overall Rolling Rank - 4.663
Sports Car Rolling Rank - 5.413
Touring Car Rolling Rank - 5.540
Open Wheel Rolling Rank - 4.075

Results - 62
Wins - 1
Top 3 - 8
Top 10 - 52
Poles - 0
DNF's - 14

Why?
Well basically to see how season 6 goes, but also to see what effect my new PC has on my rankings and therefore implicitly on my overall results. This based on my theory that the better the PC the better the control of the car and so that should translate in terms of results.

Season 6 to prove the theory.....

his based on my theory that the better the PC the better the control of the car and so that should translate in terms of results.

This is correct theory!

And I don't care what anyone says, 36 FPS is NOT enough! I experienced it. I was running GTR1, back in those TM.net days, on my old machine at around 30-40 FPS in online races on stock tracks. When I upgraded my PC, and average FPS got up to 50 on the average, not only my lap times improved immediately I was bit more consistent immediately. :)

I agree 100%... since I have my new comp I'm more confident, thus consistent, thus faster at the end.

It improved also with my new 22" LCD...

Now I need a G25 and this is gonna be heaven on heart :)

End of Season 6 update - might update this after the Spanish GP if it goes well :-]

Overall Career Rank - 5.289 (+0.032)
Sports Car Rank - 5.142 (-0.071)
Touring Car Rank - 5.252 (-0.125)
Open Wheel Rank - 5.415 (+0.203)
Overall Rolling Rank - 5.212 (+0.549)
Sports Car Rolling Rank - 5.179 (-0.234)
Touring Car Rolling Rank - 4.999 (-0.541)
Open Wheel Rolling Rank - 5.819 (+1.744)

Season 6 in brackets.
Results - 99 (37)
Wins - 3 (2)
Top 3 - 14 (6)
Top 10 - 75 (25)
Poles - 1 (1)
DNF's - 20 (6)

Summary
3rd Place in the Formula BMW would seem to have done the Open Wheel rank good, done a few races in other events where I have raced just because I could and ended them early, so will not do that in season 7!

Career rank marginally up, Rolling rank up, is heading in the right direction.Two wins in the Vertigo did not count to my rank though as in Independant Chapter.

Season 7 to be made up of various events again but more practice (note to self!) and I will run cockpit view on all events!

Blimey, did not realise it was so long since I updated this, but having finally managed after 18 pages to get a drivers page "Completed Events" list full of single figure finishes, I better had before Bathurst :-]

Overall Career Rank - 5.240
Sports Car Rank - 5.270
Touring Car Rank - 5.150
Open Wheel Rank - 5.480
Stock Car Rank - 3.067

Overall R/R - 6.282
Sport Car R/R - 4.992
Touring Car R/R - 5.699
Open Wheel R/R - 6.806
Stock Car R/R - 3.067

Official events - 172
Wins - 6 (3.48% - after S6 - 3.03%)
Top Three - 23 (13.37% - after S6 - 14.14%)
Top Ten - 147 (85.46% - after S6 - 75.75%)
Poles - 4 (2.32% - none after S6)
DNF's - 38 (22.09% - after S6 - 20.20%)

Would appear recent results have helped to improve overall and recover %age wise from where I was end of S6!

Now covering all but Stock Car rank so should be interesting to see post S10 what the ranks are then, given Sports Car events not yet started, and other two R/R's are above C/R.
