I think I know the answer to this question, but I just want to double-check with the forum here.

Is Driver Rating ONLY tied to the racing portion of Sport mode? In other words, performance in the Time Trials has no effect on it?
 
Yes. This is why you can see people with a D/C driver rating or similar and yet be in the top split of Time Trials. :lol:
OK, thanks for confirming. I guess my rating of E is because I've never tried the on-line racing :lol:. Maybe I just need to put my feet in that water a bit. So many horror stories make me think it would just be frustrating.

Give it a go and don't take it too seriously. Just run your own race and let the clumsy drivers take themselves out. I wouldn't play GT7 if it wasn't for the online racing.
Personally, there's no AI that can beat playing against other people.
 
Yeah, I think I've had a mental block against it. I've also been afraid to not be aware of some etiquette and/or being the clumsy driver and making some accidental, stupid move that pisses someone off. I've been trying to be a 'better' driver and avoiding AI at all costs (even if they slam on the brakes right in front of me for some dumb, unknown reason).

Thanks for the encouragement. I may have to work up the nerve to give it a shot. Do you just run the Daily races, or do you join random lobbies and see what happens?

Daily races are a great place to start. Just do some practice laps to make sure you know your brake points etc. And at some point you WILL be the clumsy driver (anyone who says they haven't is a liar!). When it happens, apologise to anyone affected, learn from it and have a laugh about it. It's only a game after all 🙂
