Is there a list of drivers who have competed on a year-by-year basis available.

If you want lists of "Modern Midgets". then our member Derek has as comprehensive a list as you will find in the "History" pages of the "Grand Prix Midgets" website.

Er - I think you mean Richard rather than Derek!
Incidentally I am compiling career stats for the current formula but am missing some points charts - notably 1988 when I was not involved with the club. Going back there are some gaps in my Spedeworth and MARC years as well so if anyone can assist that would be fantastic.
At the moment you won't be shocked to learn that Harry Sayell is the top career points scorer (and also has raced in 24 different seasons). Current driver Neil Clarke is #2 with Rob Sayell, Andrew Bilby, Basil Craske and Gordon Pooley following. Pooley has raced both front and rear engine in his career. The top career points scoring driver to have raced only front engine is Gary Granger followed by the late, great Rod Tanswell
Frank Boyles comes in at #9 in the overall chart despite only racing Midgets for less than 10 years.

This looks an excellent idea. There is a similar database for speedway on the London Speedways site (which also has a spot for midget cars!). I'll set up a section on similar lines for Midget Car Panorama - but it will take time for me to do this.

Quite a few starters in the 1936 World Championship at Hackney are missing - Cordy Milne for one!
