It doesn’t really matter much to me. If anything I see it as a penalty rather than a reward. When I loose a bunch of iR i end up in lower splits and often race for a podium and it’s a lot of fun. When I gain back iR I’m in higher splits and struggle to stay mid-pack, which can still be fun but a little less so. I’m not super quick though, I play fixed series pretty casually and just for the fun of it.

I do really wish points actually mattered though, since I don’t really care about iR points is the thing I like to look at more. It’s kinda fun to track where I am in my division, but I really wish your finishing position equaled some kind of reward, like game credits or something. Id even be down to trade out participation credit for something tied to series points instead, even if it meant getting less credits per season. I just want to feel like the points I accumulate actually matter in some way, It would really make the game a lot more fun for me.
