The Official Motorsport Rate Of Exchange

[Justaredbadge]

Much like Al Murray's Rock rate of exchange on Planet rock, I thought this could be interesting.

mainly for this post in the Adrian Newey thread:

One scenario that might play out is a neat swap; Vettel and Newey in exchange for Alonso and a nice bit of Santander wedge.

Now, to me, one Newey is worth more than "a chunk of santander wedge" in such the same way that one Alonso is worth more than one Vettel.


Unfortunately to make this rate of exchange work, there needs to be a constant to compare all others to.

I would suggest either 1 Jim Clark is equal to 1 Colin Chapman, or 1 Jim Clark is equal to 1 Adrian Newey.


Any further advances?

Also, please post your own.

No-one?


Ok, how about this; 1 Ronnie Peterson is equal to 1 Gilles Villeneuve

or

7 Ricardo Patreses to 1 Ayrton Senna.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

What on earth would you want with seven Ricardo Patrese's?

Am I doing it right?

1 Ross Brawn = 3 Christian Horner

1 set of Goodyear Bs to 10 sets of Pirelli options.

4 Mauro Forgheiris to 1 Keith Duckworth.

3 renault Energy F1-2014= 1 ford DFV

3 DRS's to 1 blown diffuser?

17 Retirements caused by Pastor Maldonado : 28 Race starts for Pastor Maldonado*

• This ratio has been concocted in my head, but feels close enough.

[Man-At-Arms]

1x Taki Inoue = 5x

1x Lee Mckenzie = 1x + 1x

It looks right but as the season develops the rate of exchange may favour the Duckworth design.

1 x Mansell Moustache = 1 x Hamilton + 1 x Button Designer Stubbles

I may have to fundamentally take issue with that.

Surely 1 Mansell Moustache = the remainder of motor sport hair between 1962 and current day?

[Justaredbadge]

1 Rindt to 1.2 Jackie Stewarts.


Controversial...

No, I think that's about right.

It's not often I wish that I were older, but I'd have loved to have seen Clark, Stewart, Rindt, Lauda etc back in the day. All I have is what's written. Can you actually buy full seasons of old F1 championships by year?

I didn't want to be the first to overvalue the Mansell 'tache

Although, I do agree with you.

I am still concerned that I have been too conservative with that valuation but have no better ideas.
