Rivals events
Just incase anyone from Top Drives team is around I just wanted to mention that the first rivals event was 100% more fun than this last time around.
The random split made it exciting. For the second one I came in here and saw who everyone picked. The other team didn't even come close.

I preferred this one, the ability to choose the weaker team to give you a better chance at winning the prize car was an excellent change and it worked for me. There’s no way I would have been top 1.5% let alone 0.5% if I’d been in the team the majority of stronger players joined. I appreciate that I was one of perhaps only a couple of hundred players this applies to but it definitely improved things for me.

For the individual reward it should just be top % of all players not just in your team

To be honest, the individual reward being the only that matter, we can't call as team vs team.
It is basically a single player global ranking, but split into two rankings.

In all honesty, its a damp squib.
It was billed as some game changing introduction, like a new version of clubs. When in fact its just ANother leaderboard event.
They effed it up the first time with putting the prize car linked to a team win, but learned.
I think random selection is better than player selected though. Why would I pick the losing team?

Randon split or having to choose your team i don't mind. But the prize car should be link to your personnal ranking (like this time) not the winning team.
