Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

[Carguy]

After Events 1 & 2 here is the distribution of Manufacturers in the Time Attack series. I've accounted for the co-driven cars that I know of. Just for kicks.

Manuf. / # / Percent
Chevrolet / 11 / 22.0%
Honda / 8 / 16.0%
Acura / 1 / 2.0%
Ford / 5 / 10.0%
Mazda / 5 / 10.0%
Subaru / 5 / 10.0%
BMW / 3 / 6.0%
Nissan / 3 / 6.0%
VW / 2 / 4.0%
Audi / 2 / 4.0%
Other / 5 / 10.0%

The top 4 models are: 8 Corvettes (incl. Z06), 8 Civic variants (incl. CRX and CSX), 5 Mustangs (incl. GT), and 5 WRXs (incl. STi and 2.5 RS).

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

It feels more like...

Manuf. / #
Corvettes / 82
Mustangs / 45
everything else / 4



Cool break down though!

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

S2000 is a Honda, but not a Civic variant.

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

John, there are 14 Honda competitors overall including your S2000. The remaining 13 are Civics and CRX's. With the Van De Peers, and David and Brian sharing 2 of the Honda Civics I subtracted 2 Civics. Add the Acura CSX and you have 11 + 1 = 12 Honda Civics and their variants (since the CSX is an upscale Civic).

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

To add relevance you could count event days of each make. I have run 4 events and organized one so I have entered 5 times. Some makes may have entered once or twice.

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

Good idea John. I was thinking of event points per make but your approach is simpler and easier to grasp. For this calculation I did not subtract any amounts for shared cars since competitors run in events rather than the cars running by themselves. The number reflects the distribution of car manufacturers by competitor.

Distribution of car manufacturers by competitor after 5 events:

Honda/Acura 45 (Honda 38, Acura 7)
Chevrolet 39
Mazda 25
Subaru 25
Ford 24
VW/Audi 14 (VW 9, Audi 5)
BMW 14
Nissan 14
Other 21 (Lotus 4, Messner 2, Locost 3, Volvo 3, Mitsubishi 4, Radical 4, Formula V1200 1)

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

Distribution of Manufacturers in the Time Attack series after 7 events:

Manuf. / # / Percent
Honda/Acura / 15 / 17.9%
Chevrolet / 14 / 16.7%
Mazda / 14 / 16.7%
Ford / 8 / 9.5%
Subaru / 8 / 9.5%
VW/Audi / 8 / 9.5%
Nissan / 5 / 6%
BMW / 4 / 4.8%
Other / 8 / 9.5%

Honda/Acura holds onto top spot with 15 cars and 2nd place is now shared between Chevrolet and Mazda with 14 cars (Mazda up from 11). Ford and Subaru keep steady while VW/Audi gains 2 cars for a 3-way tie at 8 cars . Nissan jumps to 5 ahead of BMW's 4 with the addition of one NX1600 and one 240SX (570SX?). Others gain 1 Toyota MR2 for a total of 8 cars.

The top 4 models are: 12 Civic variants (incl. CRX and CSX), 9 Corvettes (incl. Z06), 8 Mustangs (incl. GT), and 8 Imprezas (incl. WRX and STi).

Number of Competitor-events by Manufacturer after 7 events:

Honda/Acura 59
Chevrolet 53
Mazda 41
Ford 33
Subaru 28
VW/Audi 20
Nissan 20

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

You have complied great stats! Is there any chance you have the tire manufacturers in the same sort of format???

[John P]

Re: Time Attack Manufacturer Stats

Good analysis Pierre.

The Tire info has some in-accuracies in it. For instance Bruce MacIntyre results show he is on Dupont tires when he really is on Dunlops. Some tire makes are missing (eg. Kevin Morris is on Goodyear Eagle slicks, although the results show him without any tires).

As John said the tire information is spotty and inaccurate. Having said that, we have officials going around checking tires for contigency programs. If their survey(s) is(are) accurate we could use them for tire manufacturer stats.
