It is how the algorithm for cup races is set up.

Let's say I run the 10 Lap Le Mans race in 27:10 and Speed Junkie does it in 26:50 and we happen to be TSM bots in your race and you are at 100% difficulty. Both of our times were set fully serviced and while staying pretty much on track, no deliberate cuts.

SJ will be in first place at the start of the event. My TSM, for argument's sake is 10th. You run through the 10 laps, without pitting either one of us, and SJs TSM bot will finish around 28:15 and my TSM bot will probably be in the 30 to 31 minute range, even though we had times very near to 27 minutes and only about 20 seconds apart when that data gets fed into the TSM database.

Once it is presented to the next racer, it becomes relative to the performance of the position of the bot that that TSM is placed on.

You guys are thinking like everything is recorded and that gets replayed back to you, and that isn't how it works.
