[Don Debienne]

The saying goes: 'There's lies, then damn lies, then there's statistics'! If one chooses to race 'off hours', your top 3 to start ratio can be fairly high. Then you go on one of the heavily populated races during prime (Euro) time, and one may be lucky to be top 10. The thing is, for most of us, the score is irrelevant other than a permissive for choice server access. The focus is and should be on racing, whether in the front, in the middle or in the back of the pack. However, I am humbled by the incredible pace and consistency of the front runners who, for the most part, have the highest ratings and it motivates me to unravel the puzzle of how to approach their pace, during race conditions.
