SURVEY RESULTS: THE OFFICIAL LESBIAN ICON OF INDYCAR

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to rate the Indycar grid. This year's voter turnout was much higher than the last time this survey was conducted, so I will consider that a W for the sport. More surveys along this nature are in the works so if you would like to participate in other fun Indycar surveys keep an eye out. This will be a lengthy report, so results are going under the cut to avoid clogging anyone's dash.

I will begin this report by explaining the methodology behind the Lesbian Icon Survey. Each driver was rated based on the vibes felt by each voter on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being homophobic and 10 being lesbian icon. Ratings were entirely subjective and participants were instructed to leave personal opinions on drivers at the door and focus solely on the vibes. Ratings were added up and averaged to generate the driver's Lesbian Approval Rating (LAR). LAR is measured between 1 and 10 where the closer the LAR is to 10 the more of a lesbian icon they are. Conversely, if LAR is closer to 1 the more assigned homophobic they are. The photos used are the official Indycar driver headshots, and this was done to implement a control variable and take away bias of the survey creator. (Though I did get complaints that the headshots did a lot of them dirty)

Survey participants were also asked two demographic questions to gauge viewership of lesbians and wlw indycar watchers. The results to those questions are as follows:

Now for the meat of the survey: the ratings. This year we had 29 participants who rated 33 drivers on a 1-10 scale as described above. Based on the received ratings, the calculated LAR of each driver is as follows:

1. Tatiana Calderon (9.41 LAR)

2. Colton Herta (7.93 LAR)

3. Takuma Sato (7.76 LAR)

4. Callum Ilott (7.69 LAR)

5. Romain Grosjean (7.41 LAR)

6. Josef Newgarden (7.34 LAR)

7. Pato O'Ward (7.24 LAR)

8. Alex Palou (7.10 LAR)

9. Jimmie Johnson (7.07 LAR)

9. Rinus VeeKay (7.07 LAR)

11. JR Hildebrand (7.00 LAR)

12. Helio Castroneves (6.72 LAR)

13. Kyle Kirkwood (6.66 LAR)

14. Scott McLaughlin (6.00 LAR)

15. Felix Rosenqvist (5.93 LAR)

16. Marcus Ericsson (5.72 LAR)

17. Tony Kanaan (5.34 LAR)

18. Jack Harvey (5.31 LAR)

18. Simon Pagenaud (5.31 LAR)

20. Scott Dixon (5.21 LAR)

21. David Malukas (5.17 LAR)

21. Graham Rahal (5.17 LAR)

23. Juan Pablo Montoya (5.07 LAR)

24. Marco Andretti (4.93 LAR)

25. Ed Carpenter (4.86 LAR)

25. Sage Karam (4.86 LAR)

27. Will Power (4.79 LAR)

28. Devlin DeFrancesco (4.55 LAR)

29. Dalton Kellett (4.51 LAR)

30. Alexander Rossi (4.13 LAR)

31. Conor Daly (4.10 LAR)

32. Christian Lundgaard (4.00 LAR)

33. Santino Ferrucci (2.55 LAR)

Overall, we have an LAR range between the highest rating and the lowest rating of 6.86 LAR. The category with the highest number of drivers was 7.00 - 7.99 LAR with 10, followed by 6.00 - 6.99 with 9 and 4.00 - 4.99 with 9.

In conclusion, based on survey results there is a definitive Lesbian Icon in Tatiana Calderon in the Indycar series. On the opposite side of the scale, Santino Ferrucci was voted Most Assigned Homophobic driver. Runners up in the Lesbian Icon category are Colton Herta in second and Takuma Sato in third. Runners up in the Assigned Homophobic category are Christian Lundgaard and Conor Daly.

If I were to conduct this survey again in the future, there are several things I would change. First, I would make defining categories for the mid-points on the scale. Suggestions I received were 'supportive dad', and 'won't call you a slur but definitely in a frat'. Second, I would like to have results from a larger sample size however I recognize the overlap between lesbians/wlw and people who watch Indycar is not high. While responses are up from previous, the sample size is still too small to have an effective survey.
