How has my SR gone DOWN after getting four penalties in 24 laps of racing (three were 4s each and one was for cutting a corner by an inch)? I feel ridiculous, borderline DR S with 50 SR points -_-
www.jasonguernsey.net/gtsCould anyone please tell me how to find the world leaderboard? Would like to know where I am that's all

3rd, shooter on top, you need to find 3 and a bit tenths...is it sunny on your planet![]()
Stockholm syndrome!
Being midfield on tracks that has a 50 km/h turn for T1 will never end well sadlyThat's really good times Alpha! Great stuff there! Wow. - I could only get down to 13.1 at BmB - to afraid to try Nurb now that I dropped from DR B / SR S to DR B /SR B!! I am so negatively surprised about the new penalty systems - WOW! In my racing line with max speed through the turns still get hit hard from behind making me get off the track and I get penalty points from nothing really........ Anyhow - we need to build the SR back up then..... but I think I will continue ask for daily updates on lap-times on daily races here as I today ended up in the middle of the starting grid (6th. to 8th.) I need good laptimes before entering a race otherwise I get penalty for leaving the race when I see which grid position I got that I don't want to be in........ to "bumpy"... Thanks Alpha!

The general rule of thumb for laptimes is "a second per minute"
This means that if you want to be on pole position, you have to be a second per minute behind the Top 10. (eg. on a one minute track you are behind top 10 by a second, two minute track fwo second behinds, so on and so forth)
That's for DR B anyway, at DR A it's generally half a second, and DR S you have no hope unless you're top 10![]()

I can't complain about that. Had 10 wins out of 10 races with an DR jump from B to A 👍
To my opinion you had a DR loss because you ended behind lower rated drivers like me. Everything changes when it comes to Karts
Edit: Like in your case, many DR S and A finished behind me. They all have lost DR, which explains my spectacular DR increase:tup:
Tell me!!! Crazy stupid - but it is what it is..... Understand your point FULLY Geo! Thanks! PS - I saw a thread from someone in the Admin today and they said that your SR goes down if YOU hit another car - I didn't hit any cars but other cars hit me for no reason and I got my SR down BIG!! - does it mean that if another car hits me that I am guilty hitting him??? - completely idiotic system! Typical IT issue - no experience on any race tracks their entire life!! - making rules mathematical without understanding the drivers actions in racing! SOO darn bad! I'm very disappointed about the GTS now!! Cheers for sharing your post mate.Maybe because you got FOUR penalties dude. System is tough right now, gotta keep it clean
Trying passing judgement in a mathematical manner with hard rules on a sport whose regulations on pointing blame is 50% a gray area with always 2 sides to the story. Let's see how you'll do. The penalty system sucks right now yeah and it needs to be fixed, but dissing the developers who made it is inexcusable.Tell me!!! Crazy stupid - but it is what it is.....

Did you understand what was written?Why are you hyphenating between sentences?
Race 16 you probably went up in driver rating to the next category ie. DR-B to DR-A. I think you get an extra 2000 point boost whenever you break into the next category. Anyway fantastic driving; looks like you've been driving extremely well!My daily gains / losses in race B today, pretty happy with that. I don't know why I won almost 3K in race 16 tho. Race 18 is the Manufacturer series, I lost almost 1K here lol.View attachment 731919
Yeah, I think that you're right. I reached A rank right after this race iirc 👍Race 16 you probably went up in driver rating to the next category ie. DR-B to DR-A.

I've been going the other direction due to a combination of wheel disconnections mid-race, my own bad driving, and the Tokyo graveyard! Initially I was quite frustrated and probably taking it too seriously, but I think my DR level was above what it should be in the first place. Now that I'm on my downward slide it's time to start enjoying racing again!Yeah, I think that you're right. I reached A rank right after this race iirc 👍
Awesome wheel to wheel action in Daily Race B.
Hi, good races with you :-)
no, Phil, Giorgio very faster than meNo, you were much to fast. ;-)
45 minutes of racing. Three penalties for light side-by-side contact which the game deciphered as being my fault. I'll accept that, but I shouldn't be on my way to the dark depths of SR C for it.Maybe because you got FOUR penalties dude. System is tough right now, gotta keep it clean
Races?
