2016 PCC Cup Series Ratings

For those that don’t have NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, each AI car has its own set of ratings that determine how competitive the car is.

The rating categories used in the PCC pyramid of series are Driver and Car. Driver has 8 fields, and Car has 4:

Driver:

Aggression
Consistency
Finishing
Qualifying

Road Course
Short Track
Speedway
Superspeedway

Car:

Aerodynamics
Chassis
Engine
Reliability

The Driver ratings are sent in by the owner of the character, and the Car ratings are sent in by the owner of the team. Each car on a team will carry the same Car ratings.

The PCC Cup Series will use a completely different ratings package in 2016, drawing inspiration from F-Zero.

There are 6 ratings to assign to each field, and each rating carries a numerical value:

A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6

Here are the MIN and MAX values for each rating:

A = 80-95
B = 70-85
C = 60-75
D = 50-65
E = 40-55
F = 0-45

You may assign ratings for the appropriate category (Driver or Car) at will, but there’s a catch: The total of the combined numerical values (1-6) of all of your ratings must be equal to or more than a certain number.

Here are the guidelines for Driver ratings:

First-year driver with no more than 1 victory: 24 Points or More
Driver with no more than 1 victory: 23 Points or More
Driver with two or more wins: 21 Points or More
Former PCC Cup Series Champion: 20 Points or More
Current PCC Cup Series Champion: 19 Points or More

Here are the guidelines for Car ratings:

First-year team: 13 Points or More
Returning team with no more than 1 win: 12 points or More
Team with multiple wins: 11 Points or More
Championship-winning team: 10 Points or More

Please check your math before sending me your ratings. Anyone who fails to send ratings gets all F’s, and will be stuck in battles with the likes of John Kirkpatrick and the Pay-driver-mobiles.

Pit crews will still be 0-100.

*Addendum for 2016*

Upon promotion into a tier your team has never participated in before, your team and driver ratings will reset to first-year team and first-year driver with no more than 1 victory and will need to be adjusted accordingly.  Relegation will not affect your ratings.

*Addendum #2 for 2016*

For one-off cars competing in series above their tier, they will use their normal driver ratings, but first-year team ratings.  For one-off teams competing in series below their tier, they will use the ratings they have in their home tier.

Nice copy and paste of the ARLA ratings page.

Already sent in both ratings and cars...

Changes for 2014 have been made in the Tire War Addendum.

What?! I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that there's no Speedwagon Tires in the list?!
