Daytona is causing a double-whammy ...


 * The very close times mean that Daytona has very little to no effect on the overall WTTT tiimes ... remember, it is your total time compared with everybody else's total time which determines your group.


 * Because a lot of (the slower) players do not have the 2018 NASCARs (seriously, you only need one of them to complete the new 2018 NASCAR series, the first one, the Camaro, which is also the fastest) your combined times are being compared with the faster players' times so you're ending up worse off than you would have expected and would normally be.

It really doesn't matter if you're (for example) BBBB as those other three B times are based on much larger player participation and so could be MUCH slower than the top times. Couple that with the majority of participating players probably be faster at all/most of the events and, even though you're not that many seconds away from the top time, you're competing with a reduced number of faster players so a couple seconds off the pace suddenly becomes quite a lot.

There isn't much point in trying to improve at Daytona, I've given up trying to gain that elusive 0.1s, especially when the ghost is wrong, you're ahead, no you're not! You'd be much better off trying to gain a combined second or two at the other tracks, something which would be impossible at Daytona. Remember, it's (probably) not your time at Daytona which is ruining this, it's low player participation.

Maybe FM will take note of this and next week they'll add some of the other, slower NASCARs so  that more players can participate ... but, of course, if they do that, there will be some who'll moan that they lost out this week, so whatever they do it will be (seen as) wrong and people will complain!

Remember, it's only a game.
