Here is the results for the US event by class: Couldn't get to my Sultan in time once I realized there was going to be just 2 for the last race. We're going to have to figure out a quick, but organized way to keep the groups filled.

I guess I dont understand these points. 1 point for a win (might change this to 3) 1 point for racing (participation trophy!!) 1 point per opponent beaten. This does three things. One, it makes winning a race with more opponents more valuable (makes sense, I feel). Two, it doesn't reward the worst player in a class when there is less opponents. Example: I'm the worst driver in the group, I see GT3 only has 2 racers. I jump in there, get an easy 3rd, which is 10 points I believe via GTA's system. Next race, there is 5 racers, I bail out, and the guy in 4th, who is probably better than me, only gets 8 points. But I lead in points after 2 races. Via the system I am using, I would get 1 point for the first race, and the guy in 4th get's 2 points. I hadn't seen anyone try a system like this before, so I thought I'd get it a go. Oh, and the third thing? Unfortunately it devalues races with few people. Suggestions welcome!

So I guess I should of raced only gt1 because I would of got way more points and also defended much harder because I was letting other cars from other classes who were marginally faster by me at times.

Yeah I agree with Trowa here. He put in the best performance out of anybody, yet got less points for it.

So make a suggestion? Instead of just calling an idea stupid... I didnt call it stupid. Just stating what my strategy should of been to maximize points. Edit: For a suggestion perhaps +2 for beating a car in a class above you. +3 for a car 2 classes above you +4 for beating a car 3 classes ahead of you. That seems fair to me, If a futo or a penumbra beats any of the gt1 cars they should be rewarded. and if a Sultan is running top 5 and beating GT1 and GT2 cars they should be rewarded.

Not stupid per se, but I did get a sense of complaining behind your post... If I was wrong, then I apologize. I just hate it when people complain and don't offer any feedback or suggestions.

But then this fucks over GT1 drivers because you can't get any extra points for a really good performance in 1st because there's no one else to overtake.

But then this fucks over GT1 drivers because you can't get any extra points for a really good performance in 1st because there's no one else to overtake. You would still have gotten 12 points for beating everyone in every race for a total of 14 points every race. I would of gotten 19 points for the 1st race(6th overall) 16 points for the second race(5th overall but Tandur lagged out not sure his class and that would change my total) and 25 for the third race. I guess I forgot to mention you would receive at least 1 point for every car you beat. Not just the ones in class. Perhaps none of this matters though and only the points within your class do. However the margin I won by still seems like its too small considering how much faster I was in my class and overall. I wasnt far off the the pace of GT1 cars in any race I was in. Only Meh Ryan blew me out of the water with his GT1 car.

As soon as I got into first I started over-braking and taking safe lines just to maintain position.
