Sorry, just skip my previous post [edited] >I should shut up my mouth 'till I watched the video

Now I see where is the problem ...

@ first glance you can see after you finished race that some of  bonuses directly acomulated into your score [not a speedlist score ,but your SP score  > right before finish you had 13.088.315 sp ,after that you got 13.092.315 sp> maybe there's explanation where your race points gone > but It doesn't explain why #1 &2  had final score 4000 & 3600 while having less takedowns etc...  maybe spot bonus for spotting & crashing all the cars ?  


Nope, if you watch carefully during the race only one takedown was made before i crossed the finish line. Take down is 100sp with an additional 50sp if the driver was spotted. Just spotting people does'nt give you any bonuses. But I think you're on to something, when I finished the race I seem to get SP added TWICE to my total sum. 

My guess is that some kind of bug can't separate points that are supposed to go your total and to the event itself. I'm not really sure, but I think these points that "vanishes" from the totalt on the speed list gets carried over to the next speed list if you stick around for that. At least that's my only explanation for people starting with 20k or more when a speed list begins (or do you find it reasonable to perform 200 takedowns in approx 3 minutes?).

    Fun thing worth mentioning, when you finish the speedlist, check your earned tickets. They'll keep stacking until you leave the server.

    Must be you've encountered some  race SP bug  , because no mater what points it counts into race SP  you should have @ least 100sp + 1800/1900 SP for finishing 1st and aditional spot/crash SP for takedowns after u finished race >  and you had your points > 2150 SP in speedlist + 4000 in your total SP right 'till after race/crashing finished > at that moment those guys come up with 4000 and 3600  and you suddenly got from 2150 to 100 SP ?   I noticed there was also guy called  nicky_drift who had 1700 sp in the race , but in the end he got 0 SP ?  

    Maybe you should try to re-run team race with friends and closely observe what exactly  counts into speedlist SP and what not ( and please share your findings cause that make me curious )   or maybe someone from Criterion could explain scoring system  :D
