Interesting post for me.
Had been steadily climbing the DR rankings since purchasing this game in November....above the average curve line, got up to 27,000 ish and rarely away from Sr 99
It was then that as a high B driver that I started to get matched with A+ and A lobbies.
Wasn't much chance of winning in these lobbies but must admit I felt greater pressure in these races which in turn lead to mistakes.
While having some time off work, I chose to deliberately tank my ratings to see what it was like to have one of these resets that I'd read about here.
It's actually quite difficult to do without deliberately driving into people.
Took about twenty races of getting on to the grid and quitting...lol.
After getting there I put in a reasonably quick lap and though i must have pole surely.
No, was about 2 seconds away...a serial tanker....ex 54,000 DR rank driver with a couple of hundred wins.
I didn't win that race and found that there are a hell of a lot of those kind of drivers.
I have pretty much doubled my win count and had some easy races however, for me, they kinda feel like hollow victories.
Glad my DR rankings are up in the 20,000s again. It's getting more and more difficult.
I've found that just as in DR C as well as DR A and A+ from reading on here over the weekend, that even with the SR at the very top, there are still people that will block, run you off the track and divebomb you.
Don't think I'll want to go back down the rankings.
For me I think I'll just try and tough it out with those ranked above me rather than below.
GT Sport is far from perfect....doesn't stop me from coming back again and again and again though.
