– Incredibly, there is no overlap in drivers in the “without stage” tables above as every active driver who has ran more than 20 stages here has a Stage T10.

– It’s risky to lead more than 30% of the laps in a Next Gen race at Darlington as 5 of the 8 drivers to do so have finished 25th or worse, and 6 of the 7 drivers to lead the most laps in a Next Gen race here haven’t won the race.
