MY RATING SYSTEM - AVAILABLE TO BUY!

After 12 years of development and refinement from its 2002 inception, my Rating System is being published.

I have started with the Formula One era, 1950-2013, and divided it into decades for practical purposes. The first book contains the 2000-2009 seasons, is 80 pages, soft-cover bound and available now online. A section entitled ‘Guidelines for interpreting my Rating System’ is included which briefly explains my System.

Each season is in three sections, Package, Driver and Car, with the whole field rated and tabulated, and text discussing mainly the winners and the front-runners. My own illustrations are used, and do not necessarily show the fastest, top ranked competitors, but rather a spread for each season. Of course it would be ideal to use the many excellent journalistic photo-images, but costs would be prohibitive.

I have divided the Formula One era into seven decades as follows:

Decade
Seasons
Winners and front-runners
1
1950
1959
Fangio vs Ascari to Hawthorn & Moss.
2
1960
1969
Clark vs Surtees, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham & Gurney to Stewart.
3
1970
1979
Stewart vs Rindt, Peterson & Fittipaldi to Andretti & Reutemann.
4
1980
1989
Jones vs Piquet through Lauda to Senna vs Prost.
5
1990
1999
Senna vs Schumacher to Schumacher vs Hakkinen.
6
2000
2009
Schumacher vs Montoya, Raikkonen & Alonso to Button.
7
2010
2013
Vettel vs Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen & Button.

Each ten-year period will be published separately. The sixth decade (2000-2009) is now available – see ‘Buy my Rating System’ above or click on the link:

For those who are interested further, additional explanations include:

Chapter 1: Introducing the problem and implications of my Rating System.
Chapter 2: Literature Review.
Chapter 3: Methodology.
Chapter 4: Findings (Season Summaries).
Chapter 5: Conclusion (replicability of my Rating System).

Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5 may also be published.
