The following is a QPRS review of Sir Stirling Moss’ F1 Grand Prix career. Allow me to explain.
As a boardgame enthusiast in my teen years, I conceived the first of several math formula systems to try and rate the performances of real racing drivers and their cars in order to re-create actual historical Grand Prix seasons using the game mechanics of a popular Avalon Hill game called ‘Speed Circuit’ By the mid-1990’s this formula had evolved into the final version which I called the Quality Point Rating System (QPRS) because I sought to distinguish the ‘quality’ of driver performances since they all drove different cars of varying levels of competitiveness. So how does Stirling Moss rate via our QPRS system?
