As far as I can tell the rating system works on a championship points kind of system. This is great in terms of having a goal to place as high as possible within a series or overall but I see a few problems.
Lastly just to congratulate you on a fantastic product, I have been so desiring to see a competitor to Iracing in one of the other sims whose handling I prefer and finally we have it. Thank you!
- - I think the beauty of official races like this are that they mean something in terms of points /rating. The problem is that as you do more and more races, the risk / reward decreases drastically since series points are averaged. If you've done 9 races in a series, whether you come first or last in the 10th means very little since it's all averaged out so your average score won't change much at all.
- - coming from an IRacing background I can tell you what keeps me motivated during a race is the loss or gain of ELO rating which gives a massive feeling of risk/reward each and every race, no matter how many races you've done that week. You can gain or lose a lot of IRating in each race, which is significant because:
- each race is exciting because the stakes are high and it's great seeing your IRating getting a big boost for a top 3 finish
- Having a high IRating is important because it means you get to challenge yourself against the better drivers in the higher splits
