"I am in B-A-B-C (barely C for the last one) yet I am in Group D overall.  How can I be in A or B in 3 of the 4 and end up in Group D for overall results?  Or asked a different way, how can I be in Group C or higher for all 4 and still end up in Group D for overall results? "

You are A in Indy+Nascars. This track/car combo gives very little variance of times; in fact, I'm just 0.2s behind 1st place (rank C). You're rank A, so you must be around 0.050s behind, or so.

You are B on Spa. This track give a very high variance; my rank on it is C, 5s behind 1st place. You should be... what? 2secs behind 1st place? Let's say so.

Now let's add the two times. This puts me 5.2 secs behind, and puts you 2.05 secs behind.

What if we play a little with the times? Take half second from your time on Spa, and put it on your time on Indy. Now you're rank E or worse on Indy, and will still be rank B on Spa. And your final time is still the same.

Do you understand now why your rank A on a short track its totally irrelevant to your final rank?
