You lose then 1500 bonus points again when you go down a level, but true an A+ driver has added 8,000 total to the pool. But has taken over 42K from other players to get there.
DR resets indeed pump points out of the system, however points come in at the bottom. You can't go below 1 DR while people with only 1 point still pay out to those that finish ahead of them. It's the same at the top, can't go over 99,999, the extra gains are lost. Yet there are a magnitude more players at 1 DR than there are at 99,999 DR.
Whether DR resets and points getting added at the bottom balance each other out is only for PD to know. I guess
@Milouse could theoretically find out by polling all players and adding all their DR up, divide by number of players to get avg DR per player. Then do it again a month later and see if it has increased or decreased. There are just too many players though to make an accurate snapshot. You can't poll 10 million players or even just the active players (if you can figure that out first) in between 2 race slots, before points get updated again. PD could tell, and since they're letting the DR resets be, I guess they're fine with the balance. (Or just don't care)
DR reset is still in GT7 btw, I used it to compare pa4 and ps5 player pools on the Nordschleife.
Didn't really feel like racing today, but did feel like driving. Decided to do some quali in the Ford. Was really hoping to break into the 39s, but wasn't to be (yet anyway). Regardless, figure this was a pretty good time for this car. If no one else, @xMAXIx79 will appreciate the effort. :D

The DR pool in GT7 is ~half brought over from GT Sport so even more guess work there. Then there are all the inactive players, those that just did 50 races for the trophy. They added 2,000 DR, what were they at when they were done with the trophy.
