    my own experience . In the past I never actually managed to go higher than level 6 or maybe 5 once, and each time I was competing on rather tough tracks. This time I achieved legend and in fact between level 5 and legend this was rather easy... no difficult tracks and no tough opposition (I went from 3 to legend without loosing one single contest.
    So on one hand I am quite happy to have finally become legend but on the other I tought this was almost too easy ...

    Really seems like they subtly nerfed the Bunker, but its not obvious how.

    Maybe they tweaked it so that Legends dont match with non-Legends as often? Once they are (usually) out of the selection pool, it would just get easier and easier.... And the large number of players is due to the month-long length of the season? Not sure, because the other odd thing is the significantly higher participation for no obvious reason.

    Note that I am not complaining, just puzzled. I love to figure out how things work under the covers... but hey, maybe we are seeing patterns that dont really exist.

    First time legend for me.

    Had a win streak from rank 14 to legend. Over the moon!

    Currently standing at 3,259 legends between both platforms!

    Current legends is at 1915 with 14 hours to go... Need another 85, which seems unlikely now to hit 2000 at this rate, looks like my prediction of 1975 legends might come true here... But it's a real shame if it doesn't happen, because it could have been 2000 easily enough, but it doesn't really matter though...

    I somehow knew it was going to slow down, as everybody who was near enough to hit Legend seemed to hit Legend anyway, but let's see how many more we can get in the last few hours...

    I got to legends about 2 weeks ago and since then have been doing usually 5 showdowns a day, sometimes 10, and a few times 15 (it´s stress free so i can handle 15 in a single day). This is the pattern i´ve seen. Vast majority of the time i got 1 or 2 non legends out of 5. Rarely got a set with 0 non legends. And never got a set with 3 non legends. The skill level and upgrade level of players getting to rank 1 and 2 have noticeably changed though, i always give away wins to non legends but on some occasions they have failed to grab the win. Off the top of my head i can recall i player that wasn´t able to do a 0 fault run on Garbage Route with the Phantom, and another one that wasn´t able to complete The Grindhouse with the Donkey.

    Yes it matters, I wanna be the first legend to break the rank 2000

    Currently 1961, with 5 hours to go. I think it's still possible, if there are many last minute legends playing...
    If the numbers rice with same speed, it'll be very close, because within last 9 hours there are 50 more legends, and we have still 5hours to go. so about 25 legends more atleast.
    Darn, it'll be some 15-20 short.

    Yes, I've noticed the same, and I guess it's because their tier 3 or donkey bikes are not upgraded at all, so it was impossible.

    The last spinng wheel is very difficult sometimes... It will take 5-10 faults for me also to pass that if I ain't lucky.

    Funny thing was i went into the track and got to the last checkpoint with i dunno, 5 faults. Then i sat there for 30 sec and made 90 faults figuring i´d finish the track with a ridiculously high fault number. But then my plan failed and i crashed 9 times trying to get over that last wheel lol and had to abandon the race with the 99 fault limit. Oh well at least the original plan to "give away the track for free" still worked.

    How´s the count going? I checked just a little while back and it was 1967.
