Can't say that this is true or false. But at least in my experience, it's pretty much random.
Though i've only raced in ~30 daily races so far.

No it's just a new bug I guess, never saw much of this before the last update and now I've had a few races where I've been matched up strangely. Yesterday I was put in a race with mostly C and D level drivers with like 1 or 2 A or B drivers. I am a S (that's generous, I'm not that good), I was 10+ seconds a lap faster than some of them in that race, hardly fair on them.

The only way to do this is to have a car with no number i.e. a road car or a user created livery without a racing number.
The only time the game 'slaps on' a racing number is in Sport Mode

It's overwriting my custom numbers for sure, not sure if it stays on cars that had no number previously but it may. It may not happen every time either or it's a recent issue, maybe both as I have some cars still showing the correct number that I must have used but others have changed, sometimes more than once.

I'm sure it's a bug, that was a decent time of day when there should definitely be enough players. Normally the lowest driver I come across is B rated. Except for these odd occasions (which had not happened since the first few weeks after release until very recently), where most of the room is C/D driver rating and then there is me and a couple of other decent drivers, this isn't a drop in one level either, it's a massive one.

A couple of times, after I'd had two or three 'disaster' races in a row, it seemed to take pity on me and put me as the rabbit in an easy room... no idea if it was coincidence or just my SR falling a bit (although still S).
Well it is PD, and they do like rabbits
Most of my races at B tend to include at least one, usually S, rabbit, while the number of C/D tortoises varies quite a lot.

Anyone got spare one day trial code for ps plus? Just wanted to test how online works. I wanted to play from my own ID that's why i need code.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I guess it's another clue that Barcelona will be part of a future update. Though, the most import news is the 24 hours race. They know it would be ridiculous to play a 24 hours without dynamic TOD?

The race will be held in parallel to the 24 hours of Barcelona of motorsports, between September 8 and 9 . The real test and the virtual test will start and end at the same time."

Would be a great addition because the track hasn't appeared in any previous games.I guess it's another clue that Barcelona will be part of a future update. Though, the most import news is the 24 hours race. They know it would be ridiculous to play a 24 hours without dynamic TOD?

'Typical PD fashion' would be next month. Or next December. Either way we don't know.

911 RSR because the first few gears are a bit longer. You can use 1st for many slow speed turns but stay in 2nd and you still have enough RPMs to keep a good momentum up to 3rd.

This is a direct Google translation. But it appears that the nismo GT-R is coming to GTS. It seems that a special Nissan edition/bundle is releasing as well because there's something about a jacket and PC wallpaper.

No it's not, most times I get normal grids, then sometimes this happens, the race before and after are fine. It's not like I was playing at midnight or something silly either when it happened. If it was because of lack of players I'd expect to end in a room with a number of B drivers or a wide spread of ratings instead of the usual S and As, the room I got was more than half full of D drivers, the guy who finished in 6th was 30 seconds behind at the end, it was only a 4 lap race, most of the grid never actually got to the line before the timer ran out.

This is a far more plausible explanation than an algorithm failing for a single race, that supposedly works the rest of the time. Algorithms don't suddenly fail, that's not how it works.

It's nothing to do with how many people are online. Strange things happen when you continuously race out of your normal position or quit races. @ASH32 is right as I've recreated this twice in peak hours after my friend brought it up. If it happens, you need to race your normal race to get back in the normal pool, so to speak.

It really isn't though. It's not that the algorithm suddenly fails, suggesting it's doing something it shouldn't, but that the way the algorithm works is prone to producing strange results under certain circumstances and sticking a rank A/S in with a room of rank Ds. That is far more plausible than the number of players entering randomly drops so significantly that it has to put an A/S with D ranks just to fill the rooms and then all of a sudden in the next race it's back to a normal level of players.
