Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports Car Racing/Example Season

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a page meant to show you an example of how a page dedicated to a season of a sports car series should be set up. The templates and charts used here can be used by you to create your own page, simply by copying and pasting the text and code from the edit screen.

Information shown in italics are notes about how to use and modify elements of this page. They should not be copied over to your actual page.

Note this page is heavily modified from the real 2006 Le Mans Series season page to serve the purpose of showing important information, and should not be taken as factual regarding this series season.

2006 Le Mans Series season

[edit]

The 2006 Le Mans Series season is the 3nd season of ACO Le Mans Series. It is a series comprising Le Mans prototype and Grand Touring style cars broken into 4 classes: LMP1, LMP2, GT1, and GT2. It began on April 9, 2006 and ended on September 24, 2006 after 5 races.

Page titles should always be "<Year> <Series> season." In the intro, repeat the name of the page in bold. Other information to include in the intro includes the sanctioning body, the classes of cars that participate, the beginning and ending date of the season, and how many races were in the season.

Schedule

[edit]
Rnd Race Circuit Date
- France LMS Official Test Paul Ricard HTTT March 26,
March 27
1 Turkey 1000km of Istanbul[1] Istanbul Racing Circuit April 9
2 Belgium 1000km of Spa Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps May 14
3 Germany 1000km of Nürburgring Nürburgring July 16
4 United Kingdom 1000km of Donington Donington Park August 27
5 Spain 1000km of Jarama Circuito Permanente Del Jarama September 24
  1. ^ The race in Istanbul was shortened from its original planned 1000km to a limit of 4 hours due to a lack of fuel brought to the event by organizers.


The schedule should almost always follow setup seen here. The proper title of the race should be used (include sponsors if they are part of the title). If a race title does not include its distance, put it in parenthesis at the end. Try to use the proper name of a circuit at the time in which that race took place. Example: Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was named Autodromo Dino Ferrari prior to 1988. If a race (not including practice and qualifying) lasts more then one day, include all days it covers.

Place any special notes at the bottom of charts using the method shown here.

Season results should include at the very least the overall winner of the race. If your series has multiple classes, attempt to include all of them if possible. The chart should include a shortened name of the circuit/event on the left, and a link to the individual race results on the right.

Also attempt to keep the names of both the teams and drivers on the chart, broken by the dividing line seen here.

Teams Championship

[edit]

Points are awarded to the top 8 finishers in the order of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Teams with multiple entries do not have their cars combined, each entry number is scored separately in the championship. Cars failing to complete 70% of the winner's distance are not awarded points.

The top 2 finishers in each teams championship earn automatic entry to the following year's 24 Hours of Le Mans

Teams championships should include the team name (shortened if necessary) and nationality, their chassis, and their engine. If a team switches engines or chassis during the season, include all combinations they raced with by using <br> between each element. If possible, attempt to match up the points earned by each combination. If a points chart gets too wide, you can shorten it by changing "Rnd 1" to something smaller.

Ties should be marked with an "=", unless there is a specific tie breaker rule in your series.

Also include the points scale system used by the series, as well as any other special rules regarding points.

Constructors Championship

[edit]

Points are awarded to the top 8 finishers in the order of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Manufacturers with multiple entries do not have their points combined, other entries are merely skipped in point rewarding. Cars failing to complete 70% of the winner's distance are not awarded points.

For constructors championships, include the name and nationality of the constructor. Some championships go merely by the chassis builder, while others go by the combination of a chassis and engine being considered a "constructor." Modify the chart as necessary depending on what your series uses.

Drivers Championship

[edit]

Points are awarded to the top 8 finishers in the order of 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Drivers who do not drive for at least one hour do not receive points.

Points are awarded to a single driver and car combination. If a driver wins points driving a different car in a different event, those points are listed separately. Drivers listed multiple times in the points standings are marked with an asterik.

Drivers standings should be similar to the other championship standings. Include the driver and his/her nationality, as well as the team he/she drove for. If the driver drove for multiple teams, list them all and again attempt to line up the points according to which team they scored them with.

Be aware of how many drivers scored points. If you have an excessive amount of drivers to list, attempt to truncate it by listing only the upper drivers, and leave off those who barely scored any points. Leave off drivers who scored no points by default to prevent pages from getting too long.

[edit]

Include a link to the series website, as well as a link to that specific season if that series website has it. Do not forget to add categories as well, with season categories being named "Category:<Series Name>."
