Speed
Speed is the name of the game in all auto racing. It’s why racing began. We figure out who actually has the fastest car in each race and the most important time in the race (the 4th quarter).
Restarts
Restarts are the easiest time in the race to gain positions because all the cars are close together. We measure restarts from right before the choose to 2 laps after the green.
Clean Driving
One key factor many fans (myself included) tend to misvalue is crashes. Even if a driver crashes, they can still win. It would be easier if they avoided them though, and some drivers crash more than others, so we measure it.
Passing & Defending
In the next gen era track position has become more important than ever. We measure many ways drivers can attain it. Passing slower cars quickly can save tons of time on track, so we measure what the chances are a driver completes a pass when he gets in range, and who is the best at block other drivers from passing them.
More!!
Of course, there are other ways that teams win and lose races, and as we discover ways to measure them, we will share them with you!
