Multi-Season Driver Performance Analysis & Comparison
Welcome to the Powerslide WRC Stats Database!
Explore advanced performance metrics for WRC drivers. We track two key variables to evaluate each season:
- Speed (Deficit to Ideal Time): Measured in seconds per kilometer (s/km). It compares a driver's pace through a rally or season, against the "ideal time" (as if one driver won every stage) to reveal their raw speed.
- Reliability (Representative Time %): The percentage of stages completed at a competitive pace. Stages that a driver did not compete in, had mechanical issues, or was simply cruising, are then divided by the amount of stages in a rally or season.
Feel free to use these stats, however, please credit Powerslide!

About the Data
Times for each event were collected through eWRC-Results. Each event and driver's times were put in an excel sheet, where their total deficits and total amount of stages with a representative time were determined. The averages are calculated through weighted averages, where the length of a stage changes the weight of a time depending on its length (matters less if it's an SSS, more if it's a 30km one).
Unrepresentative times were filtered out with this logic: To determine if a time is non-representative, it is compared to times from either the previous run of the stage or times from the same loop. If the time has a deficit of more than 160% of the previous pass or loop average, it is classified as non-representative. If a driver is more than 1s/km slower on average, then that cut off is increased to 200%. This logic didn't fully apply to drivers with 3+s/km averages, as more often than not, their times seemed randomised at times.
