When I'm looking at my stats page I'm a bit disappointed.

Why is this? Because the 'Time in 1st place' includes ALL the time I looked for festival cards in last place whilst offline. I have roughly 6 hours out of 26 hours game time in 1st place on my stats screen but I'm in 1st place whilst online about 75% of the time , so if it was just online it may be, say, 7 hours out of 10 instead. Also, the way the stats are given they make me sound a lot worse than I am. I've won about 60 out of 120 races since going online and I've only come outside a podium position about 20 times out of 120, so I wish that other people would be able to see all of my 1st places, 2nd places and 3rd places, then compare them with my total races (this was done in Pacific Rift I seem to remember). I'm at the top of the player list in most games so I suppose judgements could be made on that. I just don't think this is enough.

Once you hit level 50 for the master medals you can keep an eye on hours played through that (168 hours needed for the biggest medal)

But yeah id prefer to see a dedicated online only counter and a total podiums earned figure. You cant even see another persons first place wins, just how long they have spent in first which is again on+offline.

Dont worry about people not recognising your talent, a few wins or podiums and a few crushed bets and people will soon realise you arent easy money after all

As much as I love it when people bet on me because they think I'm crap and then i destroy them... I would also love to have a dedicated online stats page that includes:
Wins
Podiums
Time Played
Time Spent In First
'Favourite' Vehicle (Possibly)
'Least Favourite' Vehicle (Possibly)
'Favourite' Track (Possibly)
'Least Favourite' Track (Possibly)
Highest Ever TT Rank (Possibly)
Highest Current TT Rank (Possibly)

I can't really think of anything else but I'm sure there is more things that would be good to know and to share with other people.

Argh! Someone just looked at my stats page and because I was beating them when they were a higher rank than me they decided to look at my stats page and sent a message saying "...you're not that fast" and "your stats are crap". I hate the "Time in 1st place". It's the bane of my Motorstorm life. Besides, I also went from 13th to 1st in a race the other day gradually over two laps, so who's to say that I can't win because I wasn't in 1st for most of the race? Too many people are killing me in big rigs when I choose light vehicles (although sometimes they fail and die themselves) so I am forced to catch up or else (it's not that I should have overtaken more safely, because that's exactly what I do, unless accelerating from the grid right at the back)

I'll just have to remind myself of that boost from kegs ^

I really wish the stats were better for this game. But it is quite funny when you get low level people thinking you are crap and betting on you and then completely destroy them XD

While I could agree the stats page can get a buff I really don't want to see anything leading to any kind of win/loss ratio. For once there is a game where people don't have to be obsessed with any kind of win/loss (or kill/death if this was a shooter) and people can just play - despite people leaving lobbies quite often as is I can only imagin it would get much worse if people were again sensisitive to an arbitrary number.

[TRAXXAS58]

Even though nobody else can see these numbers I am already obsessed with them. I hate losing and I hate not getting a podium even more. Thankfullt not getting a podium has only happened around 30 times out of about 800 races.

That isn't what I thought would be useful. I just wanted a display of:

1. Total Races completed

2. 1st places total

3. 2nd places total

4. 3rd places total

And as mentioned by TRAXXAS:

5. Favourite Vehicle (seeing as any can be selected for any track)

6. Least favourite Vehicle (seeing as any can be selected)

Also, maybe:

7. Most successful vehicle (the one with best average placing)

8. Least successful vehicle (the one with the worst average placing)

I don't know about including time attack top placings because they're so glitched (and I haven't done any yet because I would rather race).

Favourite or least favourite track also wouldn't be very valid because everyone's favourite track would be something like Road Warriors and everyone's least favourite track would be Dock of the Bay or City Limits
