Dirt Daily / Weekly Monthly Online and Assists?

[fursphere 0]

Hello,

I have a question about online ranking when it comes to the dailys / weeklys etc.   When you're scored against other online players (best time vs your time), does it take assists into consideration?  

Because in the solo / offline game, assists appear to only effect your winnings - meaning you get more winnings the less assists you use, based on a percentage.   You can technically be a lot faster and 'score' better with assists all turned on, you'll just get less money to spend.  

If the online play is the same - where you're effectively competing against other players for your ranking, do you get ranked like for like, or am I competing against all players, no matter how they have there assists setup?

I would think that +% bonus for the lowest tier is probably lower overall of no bonus % on the highest tier for example?

thanks
