This completes Patrick's Rating System findings: 13 decades of motor racing published over 14 volumes, 1894-2016. The 15th volume in the set is his 'Explanatory Chapters' (thesis). Two forthcoming volumes that he completed are 'Further Analysis' (including his Six Criteria for Driver Dominance) and his 'Season Summary Tables' (appendix). These last two volumes bring his Rating System set up to 17 volumes. They will be released shortly.

P.S. The above link has been deleted. 3May22. This volume can be purchased here:

In his (prescient) haste to release in December 2016 his methodology so that others would be able to check his conclusions and continue using his rating system to analyse future racing performance, POB overlooked the original, 2007 title he’d given this work: ‘The Gap’. For the fifth anniversary of his death in 2017, his family decided to re-release this volume under the title he would have wanted. The contents of this volume remain unchanged.
