DR A
SR A (since the last race I did around 1 month ago. Rage quit for the first time in my life).

Races: 108
Wins: 36
Poles: 43
Fastest Laps: 28

Was DR B and SR S on day one because of the demo.
 
Dr:A
Dr:S

Races:561
Wins:64
Poles:88
Fastest Laps:62

Dr bar is filled 3/4 so just a litte bit to Dr:S but I think i‘m stuck as the competition is really strong and I mainly drive the one make races.
 
DR B
SR S

205 races
87 poles
97 wins

(For the first 2 weeks I kept my DR at D/E by quitting during the warmup session in order to get the Schumacher trophy out of the way as quickly as possible. Out of 100 races I won 91, easy as pie. Been racing in B/S since)

How on Earth can you progress to S in only 63 Races...

I only run races I think I can compete strongly in (generally 10 lap grp3), I consistently get matched against strong opposition, I’ve only finished outside top 6 twice, and I’m normally on the podium.

Maybe the 10 lap races have a greater effect on DR because I’ve never finished out of the Top 5 to the best of my knowledge and I’ve won over 50% of my races yet I’m still only halfway through A...

Appreciate the info.

It’s maybe who I get matched against. I’m consistently getting matched against the very fastest qualifiers in Europe.

I only have c.15 poles/wins. But I finish consistently every race.
 
DR:B
SR:S

Races: 125
Poles: 8
Fastest Laps: 4
Wins:4

Here is a list of my excuses:

In GR4 I often get passed or bumped off track while I'm respecting the roadblock of car/cars in front that are slowing me down.

My TV brings up a huge screen covering box that says 'operation not performed in a while, shut down - Yes/No?'

The autostart starts me in a corner and I immediately spin off track.

I don't rejoin the track until it is safe to do so - unless the hand of god puts me back on track.

In 90% of my races the grid around me is separated by tenths in qualifying times, I don't use aids so the smallest error costs me dear.

I only drive RWD cars that I like the look of.

I've found a solution to my TV and autostart issues, so I'm hoping to perform better in future.

I'm not sure but I'd guess that @Stotty didn't start playing sport mode on day one.

If someone started on day one, after 60 races he wouldn't reach DRS because the opposition was mostly B/S and a few A/S - that gives you less DR progress per race, regardless of a win. Now that there are loads of DR A and quite a few DRS, he'll progress faster if he has the pace.

I know for a fact that if I win a race today I get more DR progress out of it than what I was getting with wins, poles and fastest laps combos back in October. And pretty much every race I did since day 1 I was set up against top10 guys. Lost the count to how many close races I had against derek, for example.

Having said that, last time I entered a race in sport mode was the Mound Panorama (Season 2 - Constructor's Cup) and my DR just went down to around 55%. Now sits at around 70% DRA without me doing a single race. Not sure if any update changed the DR progress system or not, but that's where I'm atm. I know that when I get back to racing I'll be DRS but I'm waiting for a penalty system update.

Yes, I was on holiday when the game launched and a week behind most people when I started playing. Then I spent the 1st few days golding the campaign.

When I eventually started on line, it only took me 5 races to get to DRB SRS (5 poles/5 wins), and as soon as I got to DRB/SRS I was immediately matched against the very fastest... I guess because my qualifying times were good.

It did, well I think it was separate to the update but at near enough the same time, in any case it's changed. ;)
 
I played the demo pre release, so I think I started the game with DR:B SR:B on day one, I racked up more wins in the demo than I have in the game so far.

Oh how I wish there was a proper podium :lol:


Where do you find out this info btw?

i’m stuck in DR:B. i don’t have enough time to prepare races

Not wanting to come across as attacking your ability, but it may be that your pace is only that of DR:B.

It's not a progression system that, if you play long enough you'll get to DR:S. It's a rating. The game has rated your speed, based on your race performances, at B on the sliding scale.

Not everyone can be an S rated driver, some may never be. The only one that you directly control is SR, because you CHOOSE whether to be clean or not.

I'm rated B and often see my rating go up to A briefly and then back down again. That's a fact of how fast I am. Until I improve my ability by a large amount then I won't progress to DR:S. But I don't really want to be a DR:S, as I'll get paired with people much faster than me and the experience will suffer.

People who see the DR as a progression that they HAVE to achieve S on are not playing the game properly IMO.

Not really fair, people can still work towards getting an S DR even if they start out at say a B level. DR-S isn't exactly Formula 1, so it's fair that if you work hard at getting faster and better at the game you could achieve an S rank.

Similarly I know for a fact that if I spent more time I'd be Masters at Starcraft 2, I've bean a number of Masters players and a couple of Grand Master players in my time, but I simply don't have the time to invest in getting higher than I am at the moment. But it doesn't mean that I'll never be at that level... if that makes sense :lol:

I've been BS like for ever, and I'm pretty sure I'll be BS for ever. I guess I'm a BS kind of guy.

:D Not sure SS is a nicer type of guy. ^^

Sorry for the off-topic. Couldn't resist your bait. :gtpflag:

How do I find what info?

I know how many races/poles etc I’ve finished from the progress screen. I remember the 2 races I didn’t finish well in because they are exceptions!

Hopefully you didn't go to university... here in GT Sport it's actually better to be known for BS than having a BA! :lol:

(I'm in the same boat, I'll never achieve AS or SS as I'm not fast enough)

292 races
27 wins
24 Fastest Laps
25 poles

Cheers
