PhergAthor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The points system works a lot different than giving an overall subjective rating to how the racing was or if the track is fun to drive.

First of all the points are given 50 / 50 by drivers and observers. That makes politics more difficult as a lot of people are involved.

The core of the rating is formed by rating facilities and organisation.

Facilities: basics as the paddock, toilets, electricity, warm water, showers, state of the loose section (before and after racing), safety fencing, state of the tarmac, starting system, etc... but also: VIP facilities, parking, press-center, internet connection, etc...

Organisation: is the timetable respected, clerck of the course, marchals, the extraction of broke down cars, etc.. but also: how are the observers welcomed, how are they lodged, food & drinks etc...

You would be surprised about the importance of things the general public will never notice in the ratings of an event.
