Not sure of your math here John. Since LPI is simple division (laps divided
by incidents) and you can't divide by zero, it would have to set your LPI
equal to your total laps until you have an incident. If you run 10 laps and
cause your first incident, your LPI would now be 10/1, or 10. If you ran
34 laps and caused 7 incidents, your LPI would be 34/7 or 4.86. Since it's
only counting incidents you cause, most careful drivers are seeing very
large LPI numbers.
For example, if you've run 470 laps and caused one incident, your LPI is
470. Run another 50 laps without causing an incident and you're at 520.
Run another 40 laps and cause one incident and you'd be at 280 (560/2). 40
laps without incident, 300 (560/2). 40 laps with one incident, 200 (600/3).
Etc.
