Some time ago I was working with an idea for the main SNAIL thread about Rep points. A Rep Score would be an indicator of your Reputation within the DTC. This is what I originally wrote about the idea with a few edits to take in to account the DTC.
More than anything we want you to have fun while racing in the club. To this end we value good race craft and work hard to reward it. We take time to rank our fellow drivers race craft on a regular basis. Each driver has a score between 1-5. Five is the unattainable goal of being perfect we all strive for. We all start with a score of 3. This score represents a driver who races clean and shows good race craft. Mistakes may happen but they are the exception not the rule at this level. A score above that shows exceptional race craft and respect of fellow drivers. A score below that shows poor race craft and a driver who needs to improve and likely show more respect to their fellow drivers.
The league likes to reward fast clean drivers with rewards. One of the biggest is to be able to choose next weeks PP/Qualifying track. In order to be eligible for a prize the driver must be in good standing in the club by having a REP of 2.75 or more. Below that and you will not be eligible to win the prizes.
The league also likes to discourage bad race craft. To this end if a drivers REP is 2.25 or less they will no longer be able to score points during the events. At this point the focus of a driver with a REP under 2.25 should be first and foremost improving their race craft. Wining races and scoring points must come second to improving race craft. If a drivers score drops below 1.75 they will no longer be able to race in the events. They will be able to attend any impromptu practice that happens. Their focus at this point must be to show there fellow drivers that they are in fact able and willing to race cleanly and regain the respect of there fellow drivers. Once their score improves they will be allowed to race again.
Anytime three or more members of the club are on track together they can submit a REP to the PTB (PM to Joby). In order to submit a score you must be a club member in good standing. This means that your REP must be above 2.25.
As a guide to how to score your fellow drivers this is the guideline
5 - The driver showed exceptionally clean racing during multiple laps of close racing with you. Passes were clean and total trust could be placed in their actions
4 - The driver showed excellent race craft during some close give and take racing. You may only have been around them for a few sections of the lap but all their actions demonstrated good race craft.
3 - The driver exhibited good race craft while passing or being passed by you. You may not have had much time racing this driver but his driving and behavior illustrated good race craft.
2 - The driver showed lack of good race craft resulting in a collision that effected position on the track or perhaps multiple incidents that did not cause position changes but that could have been avoidable. If position were effected and on track concession was not given this should be accompanied by a formal complaint.
1 - The driver showed exceptional lack of good race craft resulting in collisions that caused significant loss of position or multiple smaller collisions that caused position changes. These events should be accompanied by a formal complaint.
0 - The driver has taken action that is totally inappropriate whether on track, over chat or in the forums (reporting at this level should include a complaint and evidence or witnesses to the incident)
This is just an idea but I would like you all to think about it. I would suggest that each week after the event everyone sends me a report card for the drivers that took part.
Let me know what you all think.

Although I found a couple of cars that will hang within a half second or so at lower PP.
