[edit] Jim Clark Cup standings

Does anyone know the Jim Clark Cup standings (for normally aspirated runners)?

[edit] Trussardi

I've commented out the Trussardi entry of a Benetton B186 - I've heard that this was proposed, but I don't think it ever came close enough to happening to warrant inclusion here. Happy to hear otherwise, with a ref. Cheers. 4u1e 23:35, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

See this Nostalgia Forum thread. It would seem that the entry was never accepted, so I suggest that although interesting, this should not be listed on this page. Cheers. 4u1e 09:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piquet's points

Why ARE (I should say!) Nelson Piquet's points shown as 73 (76)? I've looked for a note on the page but can't find one and don't understand why it's there! (you can tell i'm a 90's F1 fan lol!)

Because in 1987 a driver could only count his best 11 results towards the Championship. Piquet scored points in 12 races, so he had to drop the 3 points he scored in the Spanish GP from his Championship total. I've added an explanatory footnote (similar to the ones in the 1988, 1989 and 1990 season summary articles). Thanks for pointing out the omission. DH85868993 02:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Aha, I thought it may be that, the reason why I didn't suggest it is because he was the only driver to have the bracketed points next to his name, but I supposed that's down to Piquet being the only driver to score in more than 11 races (although Senna did come very close to the 12 (Estoril)...thank you for your help --80.4.6.146 02:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC) db1987db

Also, the Normally-Aspirated Runners part, should it not be called the Naturally-Aspirated Runners? Because in the latters' own article, it mentions that the term Normally is used incorrectly? (If you get what I mean!) --80.4.6.146 (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC) db1987db
