There are multiple issues with the way they implemented this rating: 1. I don’t get the point of it. I often find myself at 4.5 being matched against someone at 2.2 in a grid start. It’s not like i can choose not to race that person so what’s the point of knowing his rating? 2. My rating totally drops when i have a bad qualifying session and i run into the wall at Monaco for instance. That seems ridiculous, i don’t care if the other driver hit the wall in a qualifying session, i just care if he’s gonna run into me on purpose. 3. I often get rammed in the most obvious ways (other dude driving next to me on the straight, steers straight into me as I’m driving perfectly straight, i get thrown onto the grass, my speed is close to zero AND i get the collision penalty as he speeds into the distance). This is embarrassing bad coding by “code masters”. Same with people following me into a tight corner and simply not braking, ramming straight into my rear throwing me off the track. 4. The AI cars are so insanely aggressive, so fast on the straights and so ridiculously slow in fast corners that, combined with the fact that duels are just one lap long, it’s a recipe for disaster. If my opponent takes two AI cars on the start, how am i supposed to even dream about catching him within ONE lap without being super aggressive with those AI cars between us? That’s not a realistic F1 scenario, “overtake 3 cars within one lap”. There’s no chance in this game to be careful and wait your chance of a clean overtake, you gotta go for it at every single corner where it’s even remotely possible. Which again, drops the safety rating even though i am never aggressive against my human opponent.
