WEC - Who can still be crowned ? The situation in all categories before Fuji

Before we begin our analysis, a quick reminder is in order. Four of the six races on the calendar have already been run.

In Fuji - a 6-hour race - the top 10 finishers will score 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point(s) respectively. Each car above that will score 0.5 point. In Bahrain - an eight-hour event - they will score 38, 27, 23, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3 and 2 points respectively. Each car ranked higher will collect 1 point.
