Further to the previous response, the overall grouping is not an average of your positions but your score by time-difference from the top player. You could be in group A at three shorter events and group L at one longer event and this would skew your overall results ... this happened when Le Mans was recently included and some team-mates didn't have the faster cars. It also means that the inclusion of a "tight" event (where most players are easily within 5% of the best time) such as the current NASCAR event doesn't affect the overall results as some think it should. Additionally, as per the previous comment, and something which is hated and thought wrong by most players, even though EVERY time-trial event has group A as the top 1%, the WTTT overall group A is the top 0.1% thereby "cheating" a lot of those who should be in group A out of 200 Gold every week ... quite often I have been in the top 1% of players but stuck in group B because of this. I wish FM/EA would change this but I'm sure they won't.
