Sometimes I don't understand myself, or the game. Case in point:
ME: Here I am, poised to make another run at DR A. I'm DR B at 93%, and there's enough people playing this afternoon that I'll probably get in all B lobbies, which means starting near the top, or in this case, pole position. Then I make a small mistake on T1 of Lap 1, letting someone pass me. Do I play it smart and just bide my time? I mean, any podium finish will give me some DR points. But nooooo, I do something stupid and end up 10th.
GAME: So I end up finishing 10th, and how much does the game deduct from my DR? 1.54 percentage points, which is the equivalent of 1 pixel in the progress bar. Not that I'm complaining, but I would have thought it'd be much worse.
ME AGAIN: And... here I am typing this in, not paying attention to the time, and I miss the 12:50 race. Really stupid, because I don't know how long there'll be enough people playing to keep me in an all-B lobby, instead of being dumped into an A lobby, which is much harder to pick up DR points (for me, anyway).
Oh well.
Most of you already know this, but since I have to wait another 10 minutes for the next race and I'm bored with qualifying: You can use
kudosprime to track your stats, with some work on your part. Personally, I'm using a home-grown stats app, which if you really want to know about, although the info is kind of useless to you, you can
find info on it here.
EDIT: So, I guess I waited too long. Got in a mostly A/A+ lobby, with a few Bs, and I was P10. And guess what happened to me?
I got pitted. Literally. I got knocked into the pits! I've seen that happen to other people, but never to me. It dropped me to P14, but I ended where I started at P10. No gain or loss in the DR department.
