Trophies only show that equipment as being capable of winning a race. For example, if one brand was better than all other brands, then that brand would lead, and win, every race with no other brand ahead or between them. However, this is not the case. Also, when you compare sponsored racers to regular racers, then that isn't a good comparison. Sponsored racers get the top motors while the average sportsman gets the basic over-the=counter version of that motor.
