franchise points

Rowdy · 23 Oct 2005, 08:08 (Ref:1441057)

Does anbody know the current franchise points? Must be getting pretty tight for the top 32, but with all the number swapping its hard to know.

You mean these (from the Championship points table page) http://www.v8supercar.com.au/points/...ssn=2005&Ind=M

James63 · 23 Oct 2005, 08:46 (Ref:1441079)

No they are driver positions...franchises are different (due to drivers swapping numbers etc.)

I think he means the actual points scored by each franchise.
i.e by number 24, number 11 etc.

The way they have swapped the numbers, Perkins this weekend, you would never know.
You would need to go back over each round and see who was using which number.

No they are the franchise positions - look to the second link on the page (I tried to send the link but can't grab it as it is a javascript application). Stone Brothers are in 1st with about 3,200 odd points then HRT, Team Betta Electrical etc.

Maybe an obvious answer to this one but, with regard to the Drivers points, do they include dropping their worst round? I can't see too many 0's in the table.
Or does that only count from this round till the end?

Raglanparade · 23 Oct 2005, 09:58 (Ref:1441130)

But its got Dynamik and WOW as two seperate teams ?

From that table u would say Tratt ? and Davidson are the most at threat ?

But ive been hearing the second Britek car is the one to go.

As far as I can tell, Mr Wills and Mr Owen shall be missing from Tasmania.

resisturban · 24 Oct 2005, 04:53 (Ref:1441757)

Does Mr Wills even race anymore?

He was dropped by Longhurst Racing for bathurst wasnt he?

Sorry but they aren't. They are team points not franchise points. For Example, Car #1 and Car #9 are both different franchises. SBR is not one franchise. A better example is car #11 and car #24, both inidividual L2 franchises, due to car swapping and car sharing (enduro's) there is not a clear points table of where #11 and #24 sit in terms of franchises. You'll note that CPR and LMS swapped their franchises around to enable the second franchise (the one lower in points) a better chance of cementing itself inside the top 32. Which appeared to backfire at Indy with both #20 and #24 finishing lowly.

Fair enough - but they are the only points publically published. AFAIK they aren't produced on a franchise basis - why would they?

Timu · 24 Oct 2005, 08:11 (Ref:1441833)

It would be alot easier if level twos were abolished and have 16 level 1's and 2 level 2s Available for unrestricted rounds..... It would save alot of confusion and the sponsors would know how many rounds their car would be attending!!!

Example-

Level 1s (2 Cars)

HRT
HSV
PWR
TPR
GRM
Tasman
PMM/TKR
Longhurst

SBR
888
DJR
LMS
FPR
WPS
BJR
Britek

Level 2 (1 car)

RNR
PLR

If only aye.....

16 Fords 16 Holdens.

Am I right that the final franchise positions this year effect who goes to early rounds next year in the top 32? which is why I am curious as to current points as #20 is on the borderline. James, that is what I am after, like you said each number is a franchise these days, not the team or driver.

James63 · 24 Oct 2005, 08:24 (Ref:1441843)

That's right. This years championship will determine who goes straight into the early rounds next year....and I believe it is only the Top 30 that gain automatic entry to the restricted rounds...then there are 2 "promotors" choice, like what happened with Steven Richards this year, his franchise wasnt an automatic entry.

**GTRMagic** · 24 Oct 2005, 09:50 (Ref:1441926)

The teams are playing with competing priorities as well.. if the situation is the same for 06 as it was for 05, the highest placed driver in a team determines the pit lane allocation for the season.

So we have the situation where it is SBR/PWR/HSVDT/WPS/HRT and so on down the lane on the basis of the best driver position.

I would think it more than likely the franchise points as referred to above will be used to determine this though.

What beers me off is that the media cannot follow the monkey business with the franchise numbers. Even the Bathurst Advocate, who do have a clue when it comes to racing cars normally, showed the D'Agosting car #11 at Bathurst and called it Richo's car....

Why oh why is this series intent on confusing the heck out of the mainstream media?

Rombles1 · 24 Oct 2005, 13:11 (Ref:1442139)

Bugger the mainstream media, why are they so intent on confusing the dedicated fans????

Not forgetting they rambled on about Dumbrell into the wall on the first lap at Indy for atleast half of the lap before realising it was Richards.
