My first season was very interesting. I had a team mate who was a 3-time world champion, but the guy turned out really fair. I won only twice, but 8 podiums and 7 other point finishes meant I won with one race to go and 26 points ahead of the runner up.

To do this in a BMW Sauber is even more gratifying

Hoping for an equally successful 1986 season

Sorry to bring this thread back up...

But I think I won that 1986 season you are talking about. You were John Speed in the McLaren. Right? I think you posted an add for the WRF league and that's how I came to this site.

Oh and under the new ranking system I'm ranked exactly 500th.

Hehe, you did! I had a good start to the season but then it all went down the rain because I kept stalling on the grid. Even when I lowered it to an extreme, I still stalled. Very disappointing

My team mate Roland went on to battle Ryan for the title, but it wasn't enough at the end. And that's the story

It not only favours cherry-picking, but is heavily bias towards people who have been on BATracer from the start. If you look through the top ranked players, most of them have been here since the first few months, when the fields were very easy as there were no Mid-Season replacements. Now, the fields are usually pretty tough, so its near impossible for newer players to move up to the top. A fair system should only take into account recent recent results - say the past 4-6 months.

For winning a ChampCar title I got just over 100 points .. for winning an F1 2007 title in a McLaren I got the same. Cherry pickers rule!

Theres no insentive for people to take slower cars either. I finished P3 in a Spyker overall recently - what did I get? Nothing. IMO thats worth a lot more than a Championship in a McLaren.

The system is worse then it was before.
