Grand Prix Season Start Jokers

I've done a few simulations of the joker scoring system to try to even it up a bit this year as it was becoming possible to run away with a total that was dominated by those with more than a few jokers at the start of the season. This also reflects the fact that the numbers taking part were on average down the last time we ran a full GP which again biased the result to those with many jokers at the start of the season. So, based on the average participation over the past few Grand Prix and some simulations of average positions throughout the field, the list of starting jokers for the season is here and is based on our well established pack ranking. Note that those starting with zero jokers will still pick up jokers after 5, 8 and 11 races completed as described in an earlier post here. To stand a chance of winning, it is still necessary to do at least 11 races.

For this year, given that we are starting with a lower number of jokers, there is no upper limit on the number of jokers that can be played/earned per season.
