Drivers who finish a lap down or more are normally listed with a leading negative sign (e.g. -1 lap) in race results, not a positive sign (e.g. +1 lap). I checked the table in the Box score section of Indianapolis 500 articles going back to 2000, and they're listed with a negative sign, except for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 articles. As such, I corrected this error in the three articles, but my edit to the 2025 article was reverted, with the justification of per consensus. Can someone please point me to the consensus and/or provide an opinion? Assadzadeh (talk) 01:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Follow up. Box scores for U.S.-based series (including Indianapolis 500) have always typically designated cars' margins as (+)TIME H:MM:SS when they are on the lead lap or completed the full distance. It makes sense because their finishing time is longer than the winner's time, thus the "+". And when they are a lap more more down, it's typically always been a with a negative sign. (e.g., -1 lap). Using a (+) for laps behind makes no sense because it implies it's more laps than the leader. The trailing cars completed less laps than the leader, therefore it should should be minus. How F1 does it can be how F1 does it, IndyCar/Indy 500 does not necessarily have to conform. i think it should stay (+)time and (-)lap. Nearly all 109 Indianapolis 500 race articles have now been worked on to add the respective margins. Doctorindy↔Talk13:47, 17 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
