With things being quieter, I will be resuming the weekly leaderboard and weekly trends postings (in the other thread) this weekend.
This season's Racers, please look at the first post for a complete explanation of the ranking system I use to compare all Races and teams in a complete ranking system. It isn't the end-all or be-all of which teams are better, but it is an objective measurement for a starting point for those discussions. This does offer some interesting insights which is apparent from the posts in this thread, when I transferred this ranking list from the now-dearly departed TWoP forums which are no more and no longer online.
The trending measurement is not something I do every season, but usually do when it is apparent that the season is quite competitive, and help shows how teams are faring during the season. When I'm feeling particularly brave, towards the end of an season I will project the range of possible final placement averages for the then remaining teams. Just so you know.
