Returning to racing simracing, after a year, i noticed rating points gained widly varied in the couple of races i joined (for the same result). It was higher when a lot of +700 and some 800 took part. So i was wondering if there is a new strengh of field system in place, like in iRacing for example. Im confident before, you could win 1st split / 94 drivers registered, full of 8 and 900 rating, and the gains were the same as 6 drivers with 300 rating.
It's a great improvement if that's the case.

Ok, then i don't understand why i got double rating for the same race and same result the next day. Something i had never seen before.

I'm assuming the average rating of the drivers you beat was much higher when you got double the rating boost. Incident points also make a difference, so a clean race will give you a higher rating.

Sometimes if you join a race before your last one updates, it can look like you gained extra rating because you're comparing the wrong start/end ratings. I bet for at least one of those two races you're comparing, you did it immediately before or immediately after another race?
