Sensible Championship

Sensible Championship is a companion application that turns a whole season of race results into championship standings. It reads the same .slres result files Sensible Laps produces, adds up points across every meeting, and ranks your drivers.

A separate app and a licensed feature

Sensible Championship installs alongside Sensible Laps but runs on its own. It's unlocked by the Sensible Championship feature on your licence — see Licensing.

Getting your results in

Sensible Championship works from a folder of .slres result files. There are two ways to fill it:

  • Get Results — download results for your date range straight from results.sensiblelaps.com, for any track you follow.
  • Browse Results — opens the results folder so you can drop in files by hand (for example, results you exported locally rather than uploaded).

Use Select All / Clear Selection and Refresh to choose exactly which meetings feed the championship.

Same driver, spelled two ways?

If a driver's name was typed slightly differently on different nights, use Find / Replace to correct it across every file at once, so their results merge into a single championship row.

Setting up the championship

The Settings tab defines how the championship is scored:

Setting What it does Default
Start / End date The date range that counts as this season. This calendar year
Points table Points awarded for each finishing position. 1st = 100, 2nd = 99, …
Qualifying points Optional bonus points for qualifying position. TQ = 1
Count best results Only each driver's best N meetings count (drop rounds). 10
Minimum entries A division must have at least this many entrants on the night to count. 3
Fast-lap minimum Ignore implausibly quick laps below this many seconds when reporting fastest laps. 20
Division name maps Merge divisions recorded under slightly different names across meetings.
Lap-count usage Per race type — Practice, Controlled Practice, Qualifying, Finals — whether its laps are ignored, totalled, or counted. Qualifying & Finals counted; practice ignored

Reading the standings

The Championship Result tab is the ranked table: Position, Name, Results, Qualifying Points, Result Points, Total Points and a Tie Break column. Export it to Print, PDF or Excel with the buttons above the table.

The Event Detail tab breaks a single meeting down by division and highlights which results are actually being used in each driver's total (the best-N above).

The Extra tab holds the trimmings — fastest laps, fastest lap by race length, and per-driver lap counts for each race type.

Want to score it a different way?

Sensible Championship scores on points-for-place (plus the qualifying bonus), keeping each driver's best N rounds. If your series is scored some other way — most laps across the season, most wins, a custom formula — the Claude Skill can build a championship from the same .slres files however you like.
