Sorry, if this was solved already, but I didn't see this in the discussion on door number.
So, I have been keeping a close eye on my car number and my race position for a while and now, because of some misfortune, I have (pretty much) solved it.
In the FIA I noticed that the car number matched your pre-qualifying grid position. We all knew this, But, as many have noted, it wasn't always aligned to the DR rank of a player, which seemed odd.
I had my SR bumped down to 83 points, which left me an S/S driver and when you take an SR hit, you get matched with the C's and D's. We all knew this was the case, but we weren't quite sure why this was the case. I got into the daily race A today and I was car #4 despite being the only DR S player, which means that your car number and race rank is based on SR first, then DR and by extension, matchmaking is achieved by SR first, and DR second.
SR must be a factor that is applied to your DR value, to give an overall score for matchmaking and it seems VERY heavily weighted because I was behind B and C drivers in the rank!
So, there ya go.
