Niki Lauda, Guilo Farina, Alberto Ascari, if I'm not mistaken? And I don't think a single person on this forum has ever managed to win a title with zero victories, have they?

So, just hand over the trophy before the race even finishes.

Since I have plenty of time left, I can perform a deep dive into both my own predictions and my opponent's track record. It’s only right that I wrap this season up with some actual class—which means walking away with the championship trophy.
Has there ever been a case where someone with zero wins snatched the title? In my experience, absolutely not. I intend to etch my name onto this trophy because, frankly, I’ve earned the title of being the best.

Let the battle begin, and may the better man win.

And don't worry, even if Rosi pulls off a win, they can't touch us; they're still 26 points behind, and since a win only nets 25, it's mathematically impossible. So, sorry, but you fought a good, honest fight, and I wish everyone else nothing but luck until next year.

Regardless of how things shake out, I’m looking forward to a great group and seeing what the offers look like for next season.

brighthound8 said:Terry Carter2, can we also calculate the overall standings if there aren't any issues?

I've already run some numbers myself.

Between me and Rossi, we're sitting at 165 main points and 626 secondary ones. It looks like he might have the upper hand because of the TP, though he has fewer jokers—is that right?

stormybadger8 is at 191, while krajina 2. Tibi is trailing by 60 points, which means he's basically out of the running theoretically.

That said, swifttiger75, Rossi, and I are fighting tooth and nail until the very end for the trophy. With 191 vs 165, that's a 26-point gap. So, if I pull off a win next time and Rossi and swifttiger75 fall outside the scoring zone, the gap shrinks to just a single point. We're going to give it everything we've got until the final stretch in Abu Dhabi.
