It is only the first day! I think it was much the same last week and look where that ended up with over 335k participation! I think on day-1 there was around 100k participation (16 hours in and participation is already 109k) which climbed during the rest of the week and then added another 50k over the weekend plus the times improved. Given that (like last week) the loan car is as good as the other cars, I reckon we’ll see similar participation this week with people happy to throw their pointless excess BRL at a car they don’t have as it will gain them. But I think there will be less competition at the top (resulting in a larger time spread across groups A and B) as there will probably be less players who have the cars fully upgraded (or will bother to do so as the cars are now effectively redundant). Just my opinion. When I made my first runs, 3. 5 hours in, there were only +/- 9000 players. I've never seen it that low, even at the very start. There may end up being a full lineup by the end, but I think people have lost interest in these cars due to the news.
