Each round keeps its own page for its own season, so the same venue can be read against itself from one year to the next. The full set is on the race ratings index.

Every rating carries the team its author supports, and on a divisive weekend the gap between the happiest and the least happy camp runs past a full point out of five.
The method is set out in how a race rating is read, and the season as a whole in the mid season review.
