Data are approximate to speed up querying time, but should in most cases be accurate to the hundredths place. This statistic is the best measure of top-level consistency, as it measures the percentage of other drivers a driver beat in his career and removes the bias of average finish (because races have had differential numbers of starters), allowing for comparisons between different eras within the same series. A driver with a percent beat of over 50% could be judged as above average. 25 or more starts are needed to appear on the list for F1, Champ Car, IndyCar, MotoGP, NASCAR Xfinity, or NASCAR Trucks, while 50 or more starts are needed for Cup.
