Col, Rich is HPI/HB/JC sponsored.
At the risk of offending the OP, this information has absolutely no value at all. It is impossible to compare this many variables without a reference, and there isn't a reference that can be used across so many variables.
In essence what you are comparing is the fastest drivers across multiple surfaces, cars, setups, electrics, driving styles, experience levels, wind speeds, barometric pressures, mood swings, alcohol levels, nicotine levels, proximity to most recent argument with spouse, moon phase, number of new racers, number of cars in the heat, time of day, temperature, track layout, whether that driver is simply having a bad day etc etc etc
ad infinitum, post nauseum...
You literally are comparing apples to oranges here fella, without a control you have no relevant or reliable data.
The only way this could prove useful is if someone were to put together a review section to allow people to properly review the cars based on their experiences OBJECTIVELY, which 99% of people will not do given because they always have rose tinted glasses on as they have just dumped a ton of money into the car because it was an improvement over their last purchase, even if they cant see it yet...
Not meaning to offend, but I've been dealing with data my entire working life, and this data is pointless to collect.
