BTCC teammates help
I am currently doing a project where I am trying to create a mathematical model, based on the ones that exist for Formula 1, to determine the greatest BTCC driver of the modern era. My model is far simpler than the Formula 1 ones, and I can already see it is going to come up with several anomalous results (for example, I can see that Rob Austin is going to rate as one of the very top drivers). But it will be fun nonetheless, and will hopefully still give fairly good results.
But, like the F1 models, mine is based on teammate connections, and the teams are far less clear in the BTCC than in F1, so it would be helpful to me if I could have a few more opinions about whether or not the following drivers should be considered to be teammates. I know there are always some differences in the cars, due to different engineers (I actually worked at a BTCC team once), but can these drivers' cars be considered close enough to be considered teammates, in your opinion:
Will Hoy/Ray Bellm and Tim Harvey/Laurence Bristow in 1991 (two halves of the Vic Lee team).
Robb Gravett/Eugene O'Brien and Ian Flux 1993.
The Vauxhalls and the eggsport Vauxhalls in 2001-2002.
Michael Bentwood and the works Vauxhalls in 2004.
The Pirtek Vauxhalls and Triple Eight Vauxhalls in 2011.
Jack Clarke and the Motorbase Fords in 2014.
Marc Hynes and the works MGs in 2014.
The Speedworks drivers and Handy Motorsport drivers between 2014-16.
Alex Martin and Stewart Lines in 2016.
Stephen Jelley and the Maximum Fords in 2017.
Adam Morgan and Aiden Moffat 2015-18.
Matt Simpson and Shedden/Neal in 2017.
Matt Simpson and Goff/Smith in 2018.
Adam Morgan and Dan Rowbottom in 2019.
The MB Fords and Motorbase Fords in 2021.
I already have an opinion for each of these, but won't reveal them yet to avoid bias. If anyone believes strongly that any of these should or shouldn't be considered teammates, please reply. Thank you.
