There is so much about team play that is not understood by most players on the game, that includes me.

-Talking about guys with huge miles showing up randomly...allegedly there is a way to accumulate miles in another team and then transport them into the "main" team. Again, allegedly. I don't know if this is true and I don't know how to attempt it.

-Guys running for 20+ hours...I can see that. I've known Warcraft gamers who play for days on end. I mean, if my family was out of town for a weekend and I didn't have to work, I could see myself sitting down for 18 or 20 hours to play the game, maybe more.

-Team members...top teams don't have 20 players. They have 200 players in multiple teams. One time I looked and RR3 France, a consistent Top 10 team, had 6 or 8 different teams. La Carrozza had 3 teams in the top 50 this week and they've done that before. These guys are drawing from huge pools of players and they just pick out the best 20 for that competition. Where, with my teams and ELPs old team, IRA, we just have 20 folks. So we work around whatever the team members have going on. I like our team the way it's set up, but top teams have huge pools of players that we just can't compete with.

-Finally, this particular event was unique. For all events, you can start early. However, for most it's not a big deal. For Autocross...you can start maybe a minute before the event starts. For Elimination, 2 minutes before starting. Speed doesn't matter. But for this one, you could easly start 20 minutes before the event running the Ferrari race at LeMans if you have the car. Then you post about 60 miles within seconds of the competition starting. Or, and this is the big one, you could have started hours in advance on the Endurance race and posted 500 miles or something as soon at the event started. That's a big deal.
