There are three main factors affecting the stats, so you can even be A everywhere, and not be in the top 1%):


 * Not everybody sets a time in all 4 tracks. This is especially noticeable on Mondays. It half the folks don't set a time on the new track, then your global percentage usually suffers.


 * Final placement is not an average of the finishing position, but a sum of splits. You may well be P1 in 3 tracks, but if your laptime is ~5s from P1 at the 4th, say bye-bye to group A.


 * As has been mentioned before, only the top 0.1% get global group A rather than 1%.

This, BTW, is super-harsh, if compared with real life. Assuming a normal distribution, Top 0.1% represents IQ higher than 145, male height higher than 2m (1m 85 for females), or US _yearly_ income of about US$ 3 Million.
