Some overall scoring trends/ lessons learned you should take into account:
- The ideal driver who you should be looking for is a \”Mover\” who can come home with a good finish. Over the last four Daytona races the average starting position of a top ten scorer was 22.7.
- You do not need to spend all of your money. \”Lesser\” drivers can have a very high playability level on this track type.
- If you pick a driver who starts near the front you really need to feel confident that they\’ll have a high level of dominator potential.
- You don\’t want to pick too many drivers who start near the front.
