DR as it is now is too dull

[Gnarlyjin]

With just a letter 'A' 'B' it is too dull to give drivers motivation to be competitive.
when I see my dr rating 'B' I feel like 'good I'm at OK rank to enjoy and I might be able to get more chance to win races than I was at DR A before'
I don't bother tying to get higher rank just to get the letter 'A'

We needs more bright shining shimmering flame circling the letter 'A' and also gigantic jewel stone should embrace the letter 'A' in it so that make people eagerly try to grab the jewel despite the obstacles.

what do you think?

More sim-style sports games (including racing games) indeed are lagging behind as far as embracing esports, and what gameplay and UI elements make online competitive fun.

Look at the entire UI of Overwatch, for instance. It doesn't just feel good to do something great in that game, it looks good. The points indicators, when your rank goes up, etc.

Obviously Polyphony has to do something more reserved and 'premium' looking with GT, but they can still work on something more flashy.

There's also not enough levels.

Each letter should have had a - or a +.

The gap from being a barely A driver to a S driver is HUGE. Adding an A-, A, and A+ would have been better.

Only way to get S now is to win over 50% of your races which I don't disagree with, but It makes getting to A rank feel like the end of the line. Adding A-, A, and A+ to the DR ranking would give smaller, more reasonable goals for drivers to aim for. Same with all the other letter grades. It would be much more user friendly in tracking your progress too.
