RandomCar 2024 Series final standings


The 2nd season of RGE's car randomizing league has come to an end after 10 rounds and it's time to look back at the season's results. A total of 44 different cars were in the list this season,exceeding number of drivers in any round,however for round 4 a total of 51 drivers were in the draw,so still in theory each car could have been used. But there was a car,who was not used - one that was added right after season half was drawn just once and never run,while another car was drawn 8 times,run in qualifying twice but never stood on grid. 8 different cars crossed the finish line as winners,10 were run in at least 6 rounds to qualify for manufacturers championship. There are no seperate stats which car was drawn most times this year,but in both seasons one car was drawn significantly more times than 2nd best and coincidentally it's the same car that made manufacturers podium in both seasons.

The average attendance dropped by 1.9 compared to last season,as highest attendance number reached 28 drivers in round 4 (5 less than highest number of 2023),but the lowest number did not drop as low as last year - 16 drivers in season finale is still 4 more than lowest attendance in 2023 season's round 8. Competition level however dropped as main candidates for drivers champion title did not show a lot of interest to put some effort and take the glory home - all 3 standings leaders,who shared 7 race wins,did not start in last 2 rounds,letting others pass them in table.


RandomCar 2024 Drivers Champion: RGˆRony
Only 3 drivers attended in all 10 rounds,one of them scored most points during the season and it was the organizer himself. The list of achievements is very short - only a single podium finish,which was a 3rd place finish in double points scoring season finale 1 hour race,but consistancy helped a lot - even if before final round best result was 7th place finish,worst was a sole top10 outside finish in round 3 where he was just one position outside top10. Last season the organizer finished 10th in standings with 5th place finish being best result.

Unite attended 8 rounds and also his most successful race was the season finale which he won,putting himself up to 2nd position in final standings. The finn was runner up in 2 races,and finished 4th in season opener,rest of the results were low top10 finishes with one bad result where he finished 19th. Last season he was 17th in final standings with a sole 2nd place being a good result. Standings leader after 7th round was J.Holmes,who won 4 races and finished 2nd in another 2. But he did not start rounds 8 and 9 and did not even attend final round,letting his standings lead away,ending up just 3rd in final standings. The britton attended just 2 rounds last season,finishing 2nd in his sole started race.

RandomCar 2024 Teams Champions: Born 2 Race
The defending vice-champions run strong this season as they scored the highest points count between teams in 7 of 10 rounds,taking 3 race wins with 2 different drivers. Even if their performance dropped later in season as the 2 drivers being main candidates for drivers title did not race,rest of the team kept scoring good points to keep the team in table lead through whole season as the team scored a total of 17 top5 finishes. The defending champions RGA was the only team that kept themselves within striking distance to leaders,but never could seriously endanger them,finishing this season in 2nd position,scoring just 5 top5 finishes during the season. Good performances later in the season were deciding factor for 3rd position in teams championship for WCL - with win in round 9 they overtook their main rivals Zafiralis and kept the position through final round. Besides win,their best driver scored another top5 finish and it's a 2 positions improvement in table compared to previous season.

RandomCar 2023 Nations Champions: Finland
Finland marks the only successful title defence in RandomCar and this season was very similar to previous one. Once again Lithuania started season very strongly,but dropped their performance late in the season,allowing consistently scoring Finland simply glide by and secore 2nd nations championship in the league. The finns scored a total of 10 top5 finishes,including race wins on last 2 rounds of the season. Lithuanians won 3 races and finished in top5 11 times in their 2nd runners up season. Also 3rd position was taken over late in the season - and that by Poland,who overtook UK. Poland this year scored 3 top5 finishes,each by different driver,last season they finished 6th in the standings.

RandomCar 2024 Manufacturers Champions: XF COUPE TURBO
There was no dominating car this season in the races,however in slower courses one of the prefered vehicles was the light and agile XF Coupe,which was the winning car in round 2,scoring another 4 podium finishes through out the season. Last season the model finished in dissapointing 15th position. In half of the races 2nd place was taken by BZ30 - a remarkable result despite the lack of race wins for the roadster,which is very similar in performance with the TBO class by default and a good improvement from previous season when it finished 12th. The all time most drawn car Talot was 2nd best last season,however despite a race win,they dropped a position between seasons,finishing 3rd in standings,bringing home 3 podium finishes during the season.

Season 3 is in the the minds of planning and there might be some minor improvements for drivers championship to increase competition,but biggest changes will include manufacturers championship as with over 40 cars and less than 30 drivers it's difficult to determine the best car. Otherwise the current format of 9 rounds with 30min races and double points scoring 1 hour race season finale seems like a good option noone opposed,so there are no plans to change that.
