Gran Turismo World Series (Manufacturers Cup 2025 Exhibition 3 season: 12 Nov - 29 Nov)

I do find it odd that the top five GT1 drivers (in the West) are separated by over 50 points; and the top 15 are over a 100 point difference. That seems like a steep drop-off for one race.

Maybe PD is messing with the points calculations, or maybe less people are participating, or maybe........

Of course there might have simply been a mass exodus of high DR drivers before the final slot too. I vaguely recall I was #2, and my DR was about 80% of the bar (26k, I guess). Unless packed out with very-mid to quite-low B, it should still have been about 110-120 for the win though, and I think he got 96...

I am in a similar situation. My bar is roughly at 90% if I had to guess and I was door 2 behind another B driver. Therefore a 16.8k avg DR lobby (that corresponds to 84 points I believe) is somewhat hard to believe if it is true that all GT2 participants get ordered by DR and then put into their respective splits but who knows how it really works.

Info for those unfamiliar with DR points: B rating is from 10k to 30k points.

We shouldn't rule out some kind of internal software error here. It could be that when the point totals were allocated, the server was using zero as the DR amount of several drivers in the lobby.

Also a possibility.

Also very odd. Maybe at the top end of A+ the DR point differences are rather large because say 80k+ and up gets exceedingly rare, i.e. a very thin tail in the points distribution. I would so love to dive into PDs driver ratings database and do an analysis.

I saw the same, I wonder if it’s either the calculations or they are match making a much wider spread of DR point for lobbies so the typical lobby total spread is wider than previously.

Probably not related to this but I knew I’d remember seeing something about it before when the cap was updated

Ah, that would explain this

Well, I ended up signing for team Renault, as I find it incredibly easy to drive and in my opinion the GT3 car is one of the most well rounded cars on the grid.

Still building this new account to A+ (currently on 44K DR). So the competition is certainly getting tougher with each race.

Slot 3: Door #7 and 208 points for the win. Happy days! Onto Road Atlanta!View attachment 1491815

So this car in the right hands can win at such level...
I was thinking that it would be slower than all the classic meta cars...
...so it is clear that it is just related to my skills...
