Interesting. Yes, it is situations like those you experienced in tries 7 through 14 that seem to happen more than they used to. I have definitely had the experience of seeing the target get harder as I retire and wondered if they had rejiggered the game to try and deal with people just retiring and restarting to get easier competition. I also wonder if the algorithm works differently in more recent parts of the game (e.g., I am currently working on getting the new 10 lap Le Mans race to a point where it can be beaten consistently by a car needing servicing, like we have seen with the old 10 lap Le Mans race). Because I am basically racing for fun anyway, I have not minded practicing by racing the whole race and then waiting to come in last at the very end).  In fact, I did a few where I cam in 20th and 19th, and only had the top 1 opponent removed while I think coming in last may have gotten the top two out of the way.  May fool around with this more to see if can discern a pattern.  Anyway, sorry for rambling.
