I'm new and haven't done any driving games for years, GT4 was the last one I played. I got GT sport and only tried the online stuff because there really is no offline game. Anyway I'm enjoying it, but I'm not that good and improving slowly, I try to play fair and this obviously slows me down even more. Now we get to the problem I have, I'm just a D rated driver and happy enough to improve slowly, but if my SR is A or S I'm lucky if 30% of the grid are D's with the rest being well above me often with 2 or 3 A's. If I have a few bad games and get down to a B on the other hand I now get far easier games often full of players of my ability.
Take my last 2 races, I'm doing daily B and sitting with an A rating, 1 other D driver and 3 A's in there. I still have to cope with bad driving and get 2 secs because someone cuts into me. Last place, terrible race and no fun, but because of the penalty my next race is all D's except for 2 C's and it was a close fun admittedly a very scrappy race, but since my rating has been shot by "better" drivers I have the advantage of being in races where you don't really care about your rating and can just have fun.
Today I got my first pole, fastest lap and would have had a win if I hadn't been taken out on the last lap and it's been when I've been rated B and therefore get to drive against people of my sort of skill.
Yes I know most here are much better than me so want to drive at the highest level, but I'm not ready for that and want to drive against people I have some sort of a chance against and I don't get to if I drive cleanly.
