I might be wrong, but I think that bracket is also infested with MP4/8s who can knock down the SLKs at the start and beat it in short/technical tracks.

Just met one in the 1100s and totally outran me and the others in San Diego. They won't win with this margin in the 1400s, especially in tracks like San Diego. That's probably why they stay low with rank. The second image shows my SLK in Sector 8. While I've beaten the Vulcans, that was not an easy win. They were just 3 seconds behind. SLK might be fast but you need to know how to control it as well. If I did a minor mistake, then the Vulcans would have won, since the SLK loses a lot of speed should it bump somewhere or drift and takes many seconds to recover. And what do you think players prefer? Easy wins in the 1200s and lower, or struggling in the 1400s, or 1600s and onwards? Of course they'll choose the first option. I don't care about MP ratings and that's why I max proed the SLK. If I did care, I would have probably stayed within one of the lower brackets. Probably the 1000s.

I've done many races with my SLK around that rank in the image (rank depends on the elite tuning). Guess how many SLKs I've met so far? Yeah, just ONE. Why? That's probably because the rest are busy killing Cobras, M2s and others in lower brackets. That is just my thought.
