So, Friday night. I had some of the worst daily races ever with pathetic matchmaking. Never have I seen such idiocy.
[Rant Incoming]
I hadn't done a daily race for a while, and because Group C cars are coming, I thought it would be a good idea to play on Friday night to earn some money. The first race I chose was Group 4 at Alsace and picked the Megane because I know that it's dependable. I started 9th which wasn't great but I still persisted. Right from the start I was being pushed around by other drivers as I worked my way through the field, and decided to push back in some parts. I got a penalty for the smallest of touches and it just went down from there. I got up to fifth but I didn't stay there for long. There were some other unfair penalties, more pushing from other competitors and dropped back to eight. I thought that was bad enough but I cocked up one corner and went back to 13th, and ended up gaining one more spot before crossing the line. The result of the shenanigans? Having my SR drop from an S to a B, for only about 20 seconds worth of penalties. What a joke. But the next race made my league look like a professional series.

I chose the Beetle Group 3 for my next race at Nurburgring GP, and started 3rd, but I was placed with D and C ranked guys. I had no clue what would go down. I was confident that I could win but that hoped was dashed in about 10 seconds. I was absolutely LIVID with the behaviour of some of these guys, I mean how could any of them be allowed to race? My woes began when a BMW Z4 rammed a BMW M6 and then shoved me up the arse, sending me right into the lead Porsche. I dropped back to 10th and that the set the tone for a dismal race which made me lose ALL HOPE IN HUMANITY. Crashes were more frequent than passes, and I was mauled by about half a dozen guys who HAD NO IDEA ABOUT RACING. I felt like people were purposely targeting me because I had a Beetle. There was one instance where a crash happened in front of me and there was a gap, which backfired horribly. I accidentally pushed one guy and got a penalty. That was one of many instances where I was treated unfairly. A Ferrari decided to stuff my race up by pushing me wide, an Alfa Romeo punted me off from 17th to last and a cheeky NSX who was weaving all over the place. I wanted to school those fools but wasn't very successful in doing so, and pushed a couple of people off. But who wouldn't after being put from 3rd to 18th? Thankfully I didn't stay in 18th and made my way back up to 9th. Funnily enough after I pitted I saw 3 separate crashes in front of me, highlighting the poor quality of racing. My rank got even worse, dropping to a B DR and a C SR. This was easily the CRAPPIEST RACE I'VE EVER BEEN IN. NOBODY KNEW HOW TO DRIVE. It was absolute torture having to deal with idiots through no fault of my own. I think the matchmaking system was drunk that night. I do NOT DESERVE to be treated like dirt; I have the right to racing room to YOU KNOW! Absolute ********.

Sorry to hear that, but you just about described a typical sr B race (irrelevant of dr). You probably went from S to B already at first 2-3 contacts, rest was just cherry on a cake.
 
Trying Race B for the crack, I did ok on Race C but found it a little dull, started 13th and finished 4th.
Oh well lesson leant got reset...
Standing start at inter was chaotic and because I was mid pack contact was guaranteed, things only went down hill from there got another SR hit when the driver in front braked around a 100 meters early going in to turn 1 at the start of lap 2 no chance of missing them. Think I got 2x 2 second penalties and a 5 for the incident above -27 manner points. Going to see what race A is like now, will report back shortly. Oh well full grid of C/D racers I wonder if we all start with flashing dunce caps.. That's the last of my manner points left gone....
So its boring race C or nothing got my 1 S/R left, time to make my way back up...

Oh I just love the penalty system. Guy crashes me 4 times because he knows nothing of racing etiquette and forces me off track when I tried to overtake and my game handed out 4 penalties worth 16 seconds to him yet he finishes the race with a 1 second penalty and a blue SR :mad:

I had a guy RAGE bump me two days ago, he carried on, I got a 10 sec penalty and got demoted from A+ to A and S to B. I'm still trying to get over it.

Just had 5 race b, all started at P3 or above and gained both Dr and Sr except the 1st race. Good starting position is crucial. Luckily matched with racers care about Sr that only minor contacts received. Ended today with Sr 99 again and 1700 Dr in bag.:lol: Good luck mate:gtpflag:

...and this is the core of an FIA licensed, wannabe-esports title. Nice.
 
I have excelled more in Sport Mode on fictional circuits than real life circuits. The only real life tracks I've been with a victory are Big Willow, Suzuka East, Tsukuba and Brands Hatch GP.
