If you also add average field size for each track, you'll see a direct correlation.

So should one run a test of the strike rates of favourites per field sizes.
Then run the average field sizes per track.

No I don't think that's necessary, just average field size per track and add that to the csv output. With some exceptions, mostly there's a direct correlation.

Vortech, do you have favourites broken down to classes eg mdns, etc.

Wet tracks eliminate a lot of favourites as does distance beyond 1400m.

Large fields also cause concern to favourites.

We need to know under what conditions favourites win
