In terms of Time Trial there are 2 places I can test your theory...

I just had a quick look and compared the Penske Ford to the Asterion - they have comparable numbers of people having posted a time trial time (for both I'm approx. 60K in the world which puts me in 90% decile at about 6K away from 80% decile).

So that suggests not that interesting to existing players.

BUT...

What's more interesting is that around 2M people appear to have posted a time for the Ford Fusion NASCAR. That's pretty impressive. (508Kth in the world, placing me in 30% decile, 100K from 20% - so that means approx 200K per 10% so 2M).

I can't compare for Silvia or Focus RS or Challenger because I can't get enough information. But BMW 1 Series M Coupe appears to have about 2.5M people posting a time. Veloster Turbo is only about 2.2M - so only a little more than the Fusion NASCAR.

Those cars have been around a LOT longer - so you'd expect their totals to be much higher. Clearly lots of people coming in *just* to run NASCAR.
