Nicely summarised stats there Luke. Thanks!

[Luke]

Glad you like Gordon and it's always a winning feeling when putting these sort of statistics together

As noteworthy as they may be ...

What's really amazing with - is the amount of proceedings (on your part) it took/take getting all these different race days done

Here's the link ... https://www.frcforum.com/viewtop ... f=7&t=1474 ... to ALL Racing Days & IROC Classes combined so far

The IROC Classes were so THRILLING to compete in - that it had (as much as) 6 equal driver's Tie results

Checkout the (third post) listing above this one - with the racer's names ...

The Classes were 3 PC & 3 MC ... you will also notice more than 2 drivers (3 in a TIE) at times

Here's a GR8 pic representing one of the many exciting 17 Mini Challenge Events:

A Mini Challenge starting grid with a "Pace Car" Mini at the front for viewing thrills - RD203

The carrying-out of FRC's 90 IROC events ...

Here are the 6 racers who WON (outright / solo victories) at more than 1 event

• Gordon - 23
• Luke B - 17
• Steve - 13 + 2 ... after 5 years of NO events.
• Ramesh - 8
• Luke - 6
• Alex - 3

Interestingly & strange enough - the same 6 racers TIE in 6 other events (all the same Nicholas E. just squeezed in the bunch ...) and here's how the names looked ...

• Ramesh & Gordon
  Steve & Gordon
  Steve & Ramesh
  Luke B. & Luke
  Nicholas E. & Gordon
  Steve, Gordon & Alex

Here are the other 4 racing persons who WON (outright) individual victories ...

• Nicholas E.
  Kyle
  Peter
  David (Boo)

I didn't include the 1 Mixed-GT & 7 Ferrari Team Winners, however names can be viewed the 4th post up

Note: The 4 groupings above of figures (70 + 2, 6, 4 & 8) equals the 90 count
