My most frequent position is 2nd. Take that.
This is what I like about GT Sport, winning has become special again.Well, I am delighted to report WIN NUMBER 2!!!!
That is two wins in 98 races. A massive win ratio increase.
At Brands just now, DRC / SRA race.
I have yet to try online, as I've only had the game for about 3 weeks. So far I'm enjoying photomode the campaign (trying to get back into the swing of things, as it's been years since I've last played a proper racing game).
What can I expect from all this?
Alot of waiting, trying, failing, trying more, failing more, people ramming you for no reason, people who are awesome, good drivers, bad drivers and much more.What can I expect from all this?
This means that a driver like the OP who has a relatively high SR, but a relatively low DR will usually get matched with a range of drivers, some who are quicker, some slower - but most around his speed. This can make winning difficult if you are a lower skilled driver with a high SR.
That's an excellent win ratio! Well done.
Basically;
The game uses the following rating system. E, D, C, B, A and S - S being the highest and E being the lowest.
There are 2 rating systems, DR (Driver rating) and SR (Sportsmanship or Safety rating).
DR goes up/down depending on how fast you drive.
SR goes up/down depending on how clean you drive.
For some people, they have a high SR rating (A or S), but a relatively low DR rating (C or D).
Depending on the time of day, there may not be enough people with a DR of D to match 12-20 people (depending on the race) who are all relatively close in SR. The game also prioritizes grouping you with drivers who have the same SR as you (or very close).

For example, my FIA race on Interlagos on Monday night was ridiculous.
I am S/S in DR and SR and I got grouped with 2 other DR A drivers, and the rest were DR D.
The race wasn't really fun for me as I qualified nearly a second faster than 2nd place, and drove away from everyone for 10 laps - the two DR A guys behind me had a great battle all race long and finished very tight - and I'm sure there were plenty of other drivers having good battles.
I would've much preferred if that FIA race had ran without me or the other DR A drivers in it - as I finished about 15 seconds clear of P2/3 who finished about 15 seconds clear of 4th - not really fair for the lower DR drivers, especially since half of them didn't even get to cross the line.
Yes, agreed with you. A close battle is always the most enjoyable past of the game.
I was lucky on Monday FIA interlagos race that drivers with similar time grouped together.
The first 4 cars got a very tight and exciting, most importantly clean, race till the end.
Enjoyed it a lot.

I was just thinking of making a similar post. Everytime I get faster, I just get paired with faster people. I never get to win at my level... I'm now DR B, and I never won a single race when I was DR C.
All of my wins came in DR D.
Dr B
Sr S
Races finished: 123
Wins: 3
Pole Positions: 0
Fastest laps: 1
Then we might as well skip SR all together.I don’t see why they don’t just match by qualifying time. Put first 20 in one race, next 20 in one race, etc. Maybe with some slight tweaking if someone has an awful SR. But generally the faster/closer the guys the cleaner the racing.
I do think the matchmaking is causing a bit of a problem. It seems to match by SR first, so you can end up matching people with completely different speeds. If you are DR C/D with max SR then I can’t see how you’d ever win a race. You’d have to nerf your SR to be matched with people with more comparable qualifying times.
Where can you check these stats?
