Some explanation : Good drivers win more races and do not need to slow bots down. This is reflected in the number of "OTHER" races in the second screen of your PROFILE. (Gold, Silver, Bronze and Other)

Drivers with a very low ratio OTHER to TOTAL win more races (clean winning / not losing on purpose to slow bots)

This view can be quite skewed by player behaviour during Race Team competitions. Lots of players grind out the miles to score distance in unserviced cars during the distance events, for example. They are not doing this to slow bots, nor to deliberately lose.. but they are likely to rack up quite a few "other" points by doing this.

Also, bots can be kept slow by only "just" winning every race. You can go through a whole series if you want to against slow bots, but collect all gold trophies.

I guess what I am saying is that this % view is an interesting statistic to poll, but I'm not sure it is a very good reflection of a player's overall skill.
