Statistically best track

[OJBrit]

I wanted to do an experiment to see what statistically my best track is.
I had an idea of what it would be and the results backed it up.

I used the race records page on https://gtsport.r1s3.net and pasted it into Excel.

I then added points columns in and recorded as follows.

Wins: 3 points for a win.
Top 5: 1 point per top 5 finish.
Poles: 1 point per pole.
Finish variation: 1 point for a negative value, and an extra point after every subsequent multiple of 5. (I.e. -7.25 would be 2 points. -11 would be 3 points.) This is reflected by minus points for positive values.
Laps lead: 1 point for every 5 laps lead.

This then gave me a total points which I also divided by the numbers of races to see what an average points ratio for that track looks like.
My results are below.


Pretty much I expected this top 3 by dint of wins and results. That's not to say all my results here have been good, quite the contrary. But I feel most comfortable on these tracks and enjoy racing them so it's good my results reflect that. It also shows me that I have to work on those tracks near the bottom of the list.
Maggiore 2 is a track I do not enjoy, but that means there is potential there for me to unlock if I work at it.

Feel free to use mine as a template. (The formulae didn't cross over to Google Docs but should be easy to replicate.)
Maybe your results will surprise you.

The sheet doesn't work for us mate, you'll have to make it public.

I changed the settings allowing anyone with the link to access it so it should have worked. I will take another look later.

Nope

 

[NevilleNobody]

Not gonna bother with the sheet but when i pop my track stats into Excel it is clear RBR is my best track. Thing is you need to consider SR, if you dropped a bit and picked up 5 easy wins then it doesn't really count.

In order for me though......

RBR
Bathurst
NGP
Spa

 

[Raptor013]

Don't even need the sheet.

Willow Springs is statistically my best track. 3 Wins, 11 Top 5's from 20 starts. Followed by Monza with 2 Wins, 13 Top 5's, 2 Poles from 24 starts.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Le Mans is my best, 368 top 5s from 390 races (94%) and 193 wins. I won't even bother to look at the others because they will be nowhere near.

Edit: Le Mans without the chicane I'm at 34/35 (97%) for top 5s.

Damn. You clearly spam the Le Mans races when they come up as a Daily.

I really like winning

 

[rhcpeppers]

Mine are RBR, Spa, and Catalunya.

I understand RBR. I'm really comfortable there and have also done well in the few RBR Short Track races I've done there. Spa and Catalunya are more mysteries for me. I'm not fast at either track, but I've had good results at both of them. It might be that at my level many people make mistakes at those tracks and while I'm not fast I do decent job of keeping my car on track.

My statistically worst track is still.....Fuji! I have more starts there than anywhere else (I actually like the track so I keep trying!), but zero top 5's. Avg start of 9.6 and average finish of 10.5. Ugh .

Who doesn't love winning.

 

[fisheye]

I'm no A racer, but...
Track Races Wins Top 5 Poles
Goodwood 146 15 102 13
Big Willow 180 26 101 15
Tsukuba 128 6 72 4
Nordschleife 114 7 53 3

 

[MidnightRun85]

Not sure how relevant it is, but I have 3 wins with 3 poles from 3 races, and 13 of 15 laps lead at Autodromo Lago Maggiore - East. Making that statistically my strongest circuit...

 

[O604]

What game are you all playing?

Just using the Course stats on my profile page, my top 4 are DT Seaside, Fuji, Suzuka and Tsukuba. I don't like them more or anything they just come up more.

 

[Minivan]

b/s player
Monza 160 starts
27 wins
77 top5
33 poles

I've forgotten what it feels like.

 

[AfraidRacer]

Erm...how do you access the race reports page? I can't find it for some reason.

Edit- Is it Race Records on My Profile?

On that page, search for your driver profile, then there's two little arrows in a circle at the bottom right of the header. Click on Race Records and you'll see all your races.

Cool, thanks!

 

[NevilleNobody]

I will throw in where I am hopeless too. In order.....

Suzuka
Alsace
Fuji
Laguna Seca

Get absolutely murdered by my peers there, as in SECONDS off a competitive S/B time.

 

[OJBrit]

Something to work on then.
For instance next time Maggiore 2 is up I will try and do several races there to see if something clicks. Or I could just be a glutton for punishment.

The GT website keeps a similar record of your performances by track: stpatty's Sport Career | Community | Gran Turismo Sport (gran-turismo.com)

Well, statistically...if we don't count the meta combinations i.e. using the strongest car in a non-one-make race... Nürburgring 24h.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, just look at my signature... (shameless plug)

 

[Sven Jurgens]

I don't need to calculate, it's N24 or actually Nordschleife

Nordschleife: total races 1857, 310 wins, 1425 top 5
N24: 955 races, 66 wins, 563 top 5

Actually my highest win ratio is on Bluemoon Speedway II, 9 out of 15 races. Anyone remember that track... So long ago I still qualified

I actually consolidated it by site, since the characteristics of the tracks with multiple configurations are pretty similar. I looked at it both ways.

My results are somewhat in line with what I'd expect, with Laguna, Fuji, RBR, Interlagos at the bottom. St Croix is bolstered by my one FIA win and very few races.



(Factor = the formula suggested by @OJBrit divided by the number of races at the track.

When I filter to only tracks with 10 or more races, it's interesting. But what I can't figure out is when the hell I ever did well at Lemans... certainly not ever based on what happened in the FIA race this weekend! But I guess I must have had a good run at some point.

 

[newb1017]

my best are

Lago Maggiore GP
Spa
Autopolis
RBR

I drive automatic and I wonder if that factors into the ones I do ok on and the ones I really suck on.. It must to some extent..

 

[Redneckchef]

Had a dig through my stats page. Brands Indy easily my best track. 28 races, 11 wins, 24 top 5s and 11 poles.
After that it would be Lago Maggiore West with 17 races 8 wins and 16 top 5s. Then BMB Infield A, 14 races, 4 wins 11 top 5s.

A collection of race A tracks. I don't know why but every now and then I just really find a groove on one of them.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Last time I checked Maggiore GP was my best track.

 

[LeLLs]

I don't have to check to know my best tracks are Brands hatch, DTS, Suzuka and RBR (sort of). However I was surpised that Fuji, Mount Panorama and Spa were also tracks where I perform overall well.
