MY BEST WAS (and i tried more than 50 times) 199.8 km/h NO MATTER WITH OR WITHOUT ASSISTS OR WHATSOEVER. I´m a really above average driver but this goal was not beatable for me. Please, note that no offence is intended.

If in day 7 (not the last and more difficult one!) you lack nearly 6 km/h with a PR higher than rec no matter what you try, then probably you're NOT above average driver.

I think I'm an average driver or slightly above: I'm in group C in WTTT every single week and manage to be in B only with at least one FU top pick and I finished all the SE (day 8 included) with a 70.3 PR without any problem.

I highly recommend you to keep practicing as mentioned above, improving skills is cheaper than spending more gold :) No, you don't reflect the average RR3 player. That is to say, the LARGEST chunk. The average american salary is around $45K. You have people that make $90K, 125K, and significantly higher. You're in Group C, but a vast majority of players aren't there. Why? Well, if everyone was in group C, no one would be in C! It would be even harder to climb the ladder.

Back to my original point. If you make $150K and start telling everyone you live the average life, people will know that's not the case. Someone making $150K certainly doesn't struggle with the same issues as a household with the average salary. This is just common sense. In order to reach a higher bracket you have to expend more time and energy to get there.

To remain in C or higher you must own top dogs, and thus your garage is probably big. Obviously not 100%, though much higher than "average". Stat wise. I'm much closer to the average player. My GC reserves are low (<2000), R$ is a fraction of above average players (<20Mil), and garage is (<90). Last but not least, my play time isn't very high. It's definitely inflated by the number of hours I spent retrying races in special events (MP4/4, SVR, XE, P1GTR, Furai, etc, 911 GT2, etc). Still, it's <500hrs.

Things are looking up ever since I won the 919 around March in RTLM. Oh, and average player might not have an LMP1 car. It takes a great deal of farming to purchase the upgrades on cars used in Vertex and earlier. The average player isn't sitting around farming the 4 lapper in their F40 for hours on end. They barely have time to play or watch ads, which pressures them into FU'ing the car or buying IAPs to compensate for their skill level. I imagine many have abandoned the game out of frustration, and lack of familiarity with this wiki.

Didn't mean to get so wordy, but people tend to forget where they started at. This leads to delusions as far as ranking goes. A lot of people would look at me weird if I stated that the average student's GPA is an A-. I think we all know most students K-12 and in college aren't graduating with A's across the board. So it would be inappropriate to set the baseline so high. The real avg GPA is much closer to C+.
