Hi there,

If i race online i usually race league, preferred non ghosted. Unfortunately not much is documented about how leagues work behind the obvious - racing. During the last weeks im got aware of some unusual situation and meanwhile got some good prove.

Unusual or unexpected situations:

• winning and not starting at 1st grid position next race
• finishing somewhere mid pack and starting 1st row next race
• winning and earning 3000 points (thought 2500 is max)
• getting promoted one tier and knowing there are much faster drivers in my last tier also driving much more - not seen them in my new tier for now

Yesterday I was racing B Ghost and I took a closer look on what happens (result, payout, next race staring grid position) I think I can confirm the following.

• Each clean lap is additional 100 Points
• Starting grid is sorted by last race results, based on best lap time, clean counts over dirty

The most obvious situation was Sebring Full - one of corner cutters paradise, especially the S before the long straight. Corner cutting as hell, I could only place 13th in a 15 racer field. Result:

• only 3 racers had a clean lap at all (and in my tier the drivers are usually good enough to drive clean laps without driving errors, so this was all based on corner cutting) , I had the second fastest lap
• next race the three clan driver in front of the grid, I’m on second.

I think it is the same for non ghost races (so this week S class). And from my experiences, clean racing is taken in account for promotion to higher tier.

At all I like this race setting and it would be great to have the same in public hoppers (for starting grid). It would be even better for racing if the system, at least internally, would make a difference for real dirty laps and draft dirty laps. In real races you often enough get dirty just by draft and you can’t avoid this.

And the overall league ranking, based on the point system, that’s just for the weekly payout.

May be i missed a valid information source, but it would be great if T10 would describe the league mechanics better.
