Forzathon Live After Hours

I am just curious if the amount of people on a server effects Forzathon Live. I tend to play after hours a lot when there is only 3 or 4 people participating and honestly finishing it becoming a rare occurrence. I don’t need the points per say, but I like participating
Today I was in a group of 12+. We got to a drift zone and it took like 4 million points (somewhere on Britan). I completed 13 passes or so before it finished. To do that in a group if 4 would take more than 15 minutes for the one stage.
Is this something that is monitored and adjusted accordingly? Imhate the udea of being thenguy who quitsnhalf way thriugh an event, but dang. Using 1/4 of your play time to not finish gets discouraging.

I would have asked this on the official support page, but I can’t post ther3 for some reason.
