How this is calculated

Historical finishing rates: counts / starts. Points rate means P1–P10 classified finishes. DNS excluded; DNF includes retirements and disqualifications. Circuit filtering happens before the last-5/10 window; fewer starts use the available sample. Averages exclude missing positions; average finish uses classified results. Last 5 reads the latest five recorded results for this circuit filter, oldest to latest, including DNS. Rate denominators remain starts only.
