My guess would be even if a person has the GC to own a particular car, it doesn't fit his or her strategy at a given moment to own it. So, "I" might not own the P1 GTR prior to the WTT starting, but I am at such a point in the game where I can easily unlock a showcase to buy it or something. So, I buy the car for real the first day of the tournament, upgrade as much as possible, and run the WTT. The time stays valid for 4 weeks while that TT is active.

I would guess that very few people are in Group A consistently. The few who are, likely are all but complete with the game and the only thing keeping them around is competition with friends in the WTT.

To the most recent post, IP 2.216, the Nissan at Monza is good for just shy of 6 seconds over the GT-R GT1. I took advantage of the 95GC rental and upgraded it as much as I could with my remaining coins. I took like 5 3/4's seconds off my time...that said, the rental only moved me from Group G to Group E at Monza (I'm 1.5 seconds or so out of Group D), and moved me up to Group H overall. I would say to get even Group B, you must have the top car and have it maxed out every week. Now, whether a person actaully has the cars fully upgraded or just "rents" them might be another story.
