FIA 2018 Driver Rankings
These have just been released:
https://www.speedcafe.com/2017/12/15...iver-rankings/ Must be over 100 drivers on list. Such listings will always cause controversy as no matter how hard they try always an element of subjectivity sneaks in. Personally I am surprised Fabian Coulthard not on list. Also no James Courtney? And who is Gold class driver Caitlin Wood? |

FIA categorisation is only relevant for categories that use a driver categorisation series, like GT3 or WEC. You actually apply for the ranking so that you can compete in those categories FIA DRIVER CATEGORISATIONS REGULATIONS Last edited by peckstar; 15 Dec 2017 at 04:57. |

Surprised Ms Wood holds a gold ranking.
However as per everyone else, it only matters when you do/don't need it. |

She may not want to relinquish it, if it is required to compete in the Le Mans 24hr, which has been firmly on her radar in recent times.

Two years old but a very applicable article on how Silver is a handy ranking to have here; http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/1...ut-silver.html Her best chance of racing at Le Mans as is one of her stated aims, is if she is ranked as a Silver. |

Silver ratings should be for fast drivers who obviously have a regular job outside racing.

It's obviously dependant on the series and the drivers goals, but being a Silver certainly opens more opportunities overall and if you're good it can help a team gain an advantage (Laurent in WEC for example). |

So Coulthard and Courtney could be a winning combination in those events.......
