Congratulations, Pete.
I completely agree that clean racing pays off, especially for slower racers. Like me, and maybe you in the past, possibly not so much anymore, if you often end up in top 10....
Another thing that pays off is participation. I am quite amazed that even in races that I lost I get points. I was actually DQed 2 days ago (I was progressing through the field the clean-and-slow-racer way, that is the fast guys were crashing and spinning out, while I was just driving by, but I had to pass a major crash outside the track, got a penalty which i did not notice due to VR) and still improved my rating. Though it's only 1241 (562.6 points), I got there with as few as 47 starts.
The secret formula clearly has its quirks.
The other thing that probably works to help me out is that I often do races with not so many racers, meaning good points even if I come last.
