Reverse Qualifying Championship
From Formula Rejects Wiki
This alternate championship is based off Phoenix's qualifying championship and the championship where the last-placed finisher won the race. It's simple. I take a look at a race's qualifying results, and the driver at the bottom of the timesheets wins. Non-qualifiers and non-prequalifiers are included, as well as drivers who don't set times. Only point scorers will be shown in the standings. Dropped scores will not be applied.
The first champion was the legendary Johnny Claes, who has also won the most titles in the series with three. Other multiple champions include Carel Godin de Beaufort, Mike Beuttler, Innes Ireland, Arturo Merzario, and Silvio Moser.
