Over the past five seasons, the championship winner has accumulated an average of 569 points. I’ll be tracking which drivers are on pace to hit that number by the end of the season. This will give us an indication of who is setting themselves up for a good shot at the championship and which drivers are falling behind. The real winner may have more or less than that this season, but the pace tracker will still be able to tell us how drivers are doing relative to the field. The pace is represented as a percentage of the target (31.6 points per race, adjusted for double points races).
You can check out the latest pace update here. There will also be a widget in the sidebar (may not be visible on mobile) showing the top performers.
