As far as I can tell after extensive testing in sport mode ... SR rating is essentially based on nothing other than clean sectors ... you either get a +1, -1 or neutral for each sector. "Clean" means you do not run off track, you do not contact another car or wall, and most ridiculously, no other cars make contact with you at all.
I got demoted to C because I kept getting rammed from the side and behind (that's what she said, bahaha), but seriously ... it took five super clean "races" for me to get back to B from C. And by "super clean" I mean I had to let everyone pass me on lap one and then put in multiple, consecutive clean sectors just to advance back to B. I love the idea of SR rating ... but why does everyone start at B? Put them at C or D.
As it currently works, if someone knocks you off track from behind, you get a time penalty for going off track and then a -1 in SR. The physics should be, if the car behind hits you — at any point on the track — they get the demerit, not you. Obvious brake checks being the exception.
At this point, I am just going to enter as many Sport mode races as I can, drop to the back, drive clean sectors until I get my A or S rating, then never do sport mode again.
