SR.A starts at 65, one more race should do it!

The label doesn't really matter though. If you're low SR.S you'll get matched with high SR.A. Match making takes a narrow point range on the scale to fill a room. How narrow depends on how many people are online. I've been in a room with SR.C to SR.A together and have seen the rare SR.B while I was max SR.S. During prime time I only see other upper limit SR.S drivers, and finally also more even rooms for DR.

EXACTLY.
Mind you, when I was in school, and A grade was 80 and A+ (or S in this case) was 90. As it stands now, the ranking are essentially saying "if you are awful, you get a B".
I got into with a guy today who couldn't drive at all. It all started because he swerved in front of me to block my braking into corner 2 (Brands) and then, he brakes right away, way early of the mark. Then, because he now believes I intentionally hit him (which will happen during a brake check) and he proceeds to try to take me out, several times. All this baloney cost me 5 SR points.
All I am saying is that, rather then having the bottom of the scale (D and E) being an exclusive group, make the top of the scale exclusive!

I went to school in the stone ages and a 80 was only a C and a A+ was like a 97 or above.
When I went to school if you did not learn the needed material you failed and had to repeat the grade level. They did not give out participation trophies and any rewards received were earned through top results only. Kids learned how to count change back out of a dollar in the second grade.
Unfortunately today none of that same criteria still remains in effect.

They need to address the issue that penalizes ME when other racers drive(purposely or not) into me and closing the door in a otherwise perfect opportunity to overtake, because of **** like that it took me over a month to get out of the ******** that is SR. C, now I'm back to B thanks to me grinding the longer Sport races and not qualifying, and going from last place to mid-grid by using pit strategy.

Daily B is a demolition derby again. 4 laps in fast cars, people simply can't handle that, all different braking points, different lines in a one make race... Match making sucks too, probably because it's still early. What's the point of SR when I get in a room with SR.B to SR.S and DR.D to DR.S, is there nobody else playing? Down to 93 now, yet who cares. Not like it matters with this kind of match making!

I agree!! And why are the regions not more open? There's people in the same region with terrible connections, so the connection quality can't be the reason. Why can't I race with the rest of the world?
I know, because you can tell from the times and the rankings, that they are trying to mimic the single player line up (hot shoes - mid pack - back markers). However, it cannot be that there are so few people in the world playing that the ranking need to be so open and the rooms so inclusive.
I would much rather be in a room with 12 drivers that are more closely matched in terms of DR and SR then the wide open blood sport we have now.
Look, I am a bad man. I retaliate. I would rather avoid the need to retaliate altogether.
Off topic - BTW, shouldn't there be an update announcement soon?

Daily C seems bad tempered today and this is with sr99

So Daily A is wall riding SR carnage
Daily B is demolition derby FT1-VGT
Daily C is in a bad mood
Fun times. I'm already back to 99/99. Qualifying required for Daily B as not to get parked behind a bunch of slower DR C and DR D drivers. Matchmaking :/ The big spread is not too bad when everything goes well, yet one crash in the front then trying to get back to the front and it all goes to hell.
BTW, why can't there be a daily B race every 15 minutes. There's 9 minutes of idle time between races. I almost spend as much time on this site then actually racing.
And down to 95 for hitting a track re-entry. Always penalizing for the wrong things.
Dirty driving is also a matter of perception. Someone from Brazil started pushing in corners, so I pushed back, we swapped places couple times, not fearing bumps in the slightest. Normally that's followed by complaints about dirty driving afterwards, yet he send a friend request for a great battle. I don't like to generalize but adjusting my driving style and responses based on the flag in front/behind me does seem to work...

Track re entry needs tidying up. Even in sr s it seems to be just get going again at all costs irrespective of traffic.
