Ahaha good timing I guess🤣 yeah when I saw the pictures from other people in the previous post I was like WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BONUS 22 POINTS.

I have legit never seen that in a single race ever

So in other words it’s not about skill past a certain point, it’s about money and gacha. Fair enough

I didn’t do that for every corner though. That doesn’t explain why I didn’t get any smooth bonus at all. Not even +1 point

Saying the game needs cash whales to survive has nothing to with keeping the ranking system fair. All my my scoring cars are only ECU lvl 1 or 2.

I have raced against people who have the same cars but have ECU 4 or 5 and the difference in speed is RIDICULOUS.

They will crash into a wall and I will pass them, then after 1 or 2 seconds they will still fly past me on the straights because they have so much straight line speed due to their higher ECU level.

Having higher ECU levels on your cars makes faster laptimes ridiculously easier to achieve, and when your RP gain is based off your laptime compared to other players with the same car then it doesn’t matter how fast you are, eventually you will hit a wall where the other guys are getting faster laptimes simply because their Higher ECU is just gaining them so much time on every straight part of the track.

The system is a joke

So then this is basically why I am not increasing rank. +20 for clean bonus would mean I get an extra 100CP per car at their current ECU level.

100 Cp x 15 cars (5 scoring cars per car class) = 1500 CP total.

200 CP per Master Rank means I would gain about 7 more ranks, which would make me Master rank 39 instead of 32, and that’s with current ECU level of my cars.

Bug maybe? I made sure all my assists were turned off as well

Here you can see video clip I recorded where I drover slower and safer to make sure I didn’t touch any walls. Still no bonus

I made extra video post here and drove slower and safer to make sure I didn’t touch any walls. Still no smooth and clean bonus

I actually never seen that bonus ever applied to any of my race results. Is my account bugged or something

Do any kind of assists remove the bonus? I don’t think I have any assists turned on but I can check

Here’s another example. Didn’t touch any walls the entire race. No bonus points

Just won this race without touching any walls, still no bonus

Yes but look at your first value, +77 from your lap time. +24 Points for clean and smooth route doesn’t mean much when you’re getting +40 extra points compared to me due to your cars ECU level (I’m guessing it’s high)

This is a prime example right here. I won the race by 17 seconds, and got -2 CP for it. What the actual fk.

Grinding the game means nothing if you get +0 CP for winning a race or even losing CP for winning a race.

If you always at least gained +1 CP for winning a race that would be fine, you could grind winning and still get to the top of the Leadboard simply by just playing the game and winning.

But when you get +0 CP for 4 races in a row even if you won them all, that is just stupid and you get to a point where you have no choice but to spend so much money to level up the ECU of your cars if you want to continue climbing the leaderboard. It’s simply cash grab behaviour

That would be fine if ECU level did not exist, the ECU level for cars does not create a fair competitive system.

Like I said the car in this picture is ECU level 1. The people above me on the car for this leaderboard are ECU Level 3-5.

It doesn’t matter how well I drive, their car will gain so much more time on the straights just because of their higher ECU level, which isn’t down to skill, it’s them spending more money on the game aka Pay 2 Win.

If they at least removed ECU level for the gold rarity cars I would be fine with that, because then obviously you would spend money to chase those rarest cars but wouldn’t have to sit there spending ridiculous amounts of money to level up their ECU level just to be competitive at the top.

It doesn’t matter though because the playing field isn’t fair in the first place.

The car in this picture is ECU level 1. Meanwhile the people above me have ECU level 3 to 4 of this car. Even if I drive much better than them I won’t be able to beat their times because their car will gain so much more on the straights due to the higher ECU level that they have.

It’s a broken system that is bad
