Car rank doesn't mean as much as one would think. I finished the Patriot Championship at 54th with a 2,048 Ford GT, with a time of 1:48.828. If you're good, you can keep up with and beat higher rank cars no problem. Just having a high rank car does not mean you'll beat everyone with a slower car. Saint Peters Kickoff I can drive times in my 1,733 Evora that would embarass some S class users in MP. I got a 1:27 with it in the Aventador event, while having to fight through AI and starting from 8th. Opposite of what some people will tell you, skill has more say in this game than how fast your car is. Only exceptions are the really big gaps in car rank that don't happen very often. Unless ofcourse, you're playing against people 400+ rating below you.

Even on top speed tracks like Himalaya, lets go with Frozen Route, you can beat an unskilled high rank SCG or Aventador in a Vulcan by just knowing what the fastest way of driving that track is. Say, shockwaving the first drop, taking the ramp at the split before the cave and jumping over to the left instead of up, etc.
