Without the full complement of players, as some didn't choose to win the '18 NASCARS, and a minimal performance spread due to a LTS winning PR of 58.5 and a maximum of 61.7 each rank is going to be very tight, with players separated by hundredths and thousandths. Or even the fact that the first player to reach a time will rank ahead of someone who gets the same time afterwards. And of course fewer participants at Daytona shifts the whole overall ranking. Only, say, 6,000 runners there means only 6,000 for the whole four week cycle.

I don't think even fully upgrading an '18 NASCAR is going to help me this time, 1.315 from the best (I'm in J for this event), 1.694 from C overall. The three others I'm in B. Bit of a comedown after finally getting C overall from the beginning January, B overall from beginning of February.

There's probably as much to gain, or lose, from the initial starting variation in speed (which isn't under the players' control). Just now I gained 0.040 from a better rolling start, eeking out 0.05 ahead of my ghost by the end of the lap.

Might have to boost the Zonda's performance to maintain a gold paying reward for the next few weeks. Admittedly I'm 6.550 seconds off the pace at Spa, using the Lamborghini, but the reward, and potential time return, for expensively upgrading the Lotus may not be worth it. I'm in B everywhere except Daytona,(where I'm in D). I thought it might help to FU the ZL1. It did help a little,but not enough at my skill level.

There's no doubt I could be faster at The Hock and Spa. I'm just burned out.

I agree with the reward/time issue. I'm not going to upgrade the Lotus,either.
