The change to time trial is interesting.

It is an obvious revenue ploy. The highest upgraded car will still have the advantage, and loaning Expert or Legend Tier cars will entice non-owners to upgrade to get better times without having to buy the car (if it was even unlocked).

However, what I think will be interesting to see is that there will no longer be all of the NISSAN SILVIA (S15) or mid-tier car times to boost up players into the Group C and B times.

I think that some players are going to struggle to replicate the results that they have been getting as faster players that didn't have the garage start to set fast times. Right now, for Stage 2, I have a Group B time with the ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GTE (2017) fully upgraded. This is +4.279s off of the best time. I doubt going forward that being +4 seconds off of the top times will ever be a Group B time.
