So as an added bonus, here are the Season 13 pace breakdown and overall Pace for all of GTS.

How to use
Don't be daunted by the sheer amount of data, we can trim that down.
Using the drop down arrow above the driver name in the chart itself, choose the Select All option which will unselect everyone. Now just scroll through the list to find the drivers you would like to compare too. Select as many as you would like.
Example
What does it mean & How is the data obtained
First up, the second question.
I take the FL and RT from the Fastest Lap data we obtain and break each time down to milliseconds using some Excel wizardary. I then compare those numbers to the Fastest achieved on the night. This gives you a figure.
The closer you are to 1 the faster you are.
You've linked 2 files, what's the second one for
That Overall Pace file stores ALL 13 Seasons of GTS data, allowing to see how you are going over your racing career. Obviously you know if you are doing well in a certain car, etc. But this allows you to compare to other drivers and see the good or bad in a pretty little chart.
Why?
I like data. I offered Hat and co my assistance in an attempt to even out the divisions so that the competition could be closer. I've in the past solely used the Overall pace to initially place racers, alongside the promotion / regulation system, however over the last couple of seasons I decided to change things up a bit and only choose cars of the type we are using (GR4, N400, etc) to seed the divisions better. There was a pretty big shakeup in divisions 2 - 4, which I believe led to some closer racing.
Personally
With the changes to how the divisions were seeded, combined with the Round 1 Qualifying (with me landing in D2 for the first time ever) the competition was going to be on. I knew from the outset that I wasn't going to be a top runner, but everyone in the division had the ability / chance to stand on the podium, if they put in the time to practise. And I did manage 1 podium at Tokyo!!
I had set myself 2 goals this season.
1. To continue to improve my pace and drop below the '20' figure. I scraped in by a poof-teenth, but I managed it.
2. Beat Saturn
Although I'm happy with scrapping under the 20 mark, my season was marred with accidents 4 of 7 races that cost me likely podium finishes.
Test / Trail Season Data sets
Since this season was a test and there have been requests for additional data, I'll make ALL data sets available this season for the people who wish to take it and create something with it.
These are below

IMO - If we use the same method of seeding rooms as we did this season, combined with Pre - Season Qualifying (using 2 or 3 tracks), our racing for the season should be competitive.
Anyhow, if you have any questions, fire away.
PS - No more s/sheets from me until next Season now. Signing off for the year.
