The calculations are more accurate than you think, you just have to allow for the margin of error (the round amount). The calculation works out how many people are in the groups above you and uses the percentage of those groups to work out the total number in the event. The further down the listings you are, the more accurate the result.

Total participation is nearly always lower than the minimum stage, especially when that stage is a new car. I remember when I first started doing WTTT. There were many weeks where I didn't have any of the cars for a particular stage and I wasn't going to buy one at full price just to get more R$.
