V8 Supercar 2003 Championship Points Calc

Einstein my butt. Basic maths maybe...

Here is a link to an Excel spreadsheet everyone can use to work out the various combinations of points scores to prophecise the 2003 V8 Supercar Champion from the 3 leading contenders, Ambrose, Murphy, Skaife. While the winner is likely to be from the first two, it's interesting to note what Skaife needs if both front-runners have bad days.

Simply open the sheet in Excel, plug in the drivers positions for Race 1 and Race 2, and their round total, champ total and adjusted champ total will be shown. Valid values are 1-33, and DNF. Anything will make it barf. Put in position 34+ and expect negative scores, it's not something I bothered handling because if either driver finishes in that area in a race their championship is screwed anyway. Note that for each driver, any round score less than their current worst round yields them an adjusted champ total equal to their current unadjusted total.

Have fun.

Excel Points Calc

PS. This assumes equal points for Race 1 and Race 2. In previous rounds, the length of a race has not affected the points split (ie, last round in NZ) so I'm assuming this is correct.

Great Job and no wonder skaife is taking up his tittle hopes with Ambrose in 13th and Murf in 9th he's a shoe in.

Oops, I meant, anything ELSE will make it barf, otherwise DNF and 1-33 is fine.

Great Job Venom, how about a version using the adjusted points totals factored in?

What do you mean? The adjusted points total is shown at the end based on the worst of 13 rounds. At the end of round 13, the adjusted total they have now is meaningless.
