Instead of the current system of selecting opponents based on skill AND THEN safety, weight them more equally or at least add more weight to safety rating to avoid competing with “fast” drivers who end the race with 15 penalties. Also PLEASE add online racing where you can choose to only race against people with the same safety rating. It makes for much cleaner and enjoyable racing.
Title. Too many rammers in my races. And I’m safety S rating. The game should matchmake based on safety rating first, and skill rating second. Thank you.
My thoughts exactly. Well said.

Or at least have it as an option so players can choose between “Safety Rating Prioritized” vs “Skill Rating Prioritized” matchmaking. I really don’t mind losing to people who are just faster/better drivers (and I can even learn from watching them), but I hate losing because I got knocked off the track by some jerks driving recklessly and/or intentionally ramming. I usually maintain an S rating and try to drive safely, and it ruins the online experience to have all those clowns who think they’re playing Wreckfest.

Bumping. I and many others I’m sure have no desire whatsoever to even attempt online as we know who’s waiting for us. There are a lot of very fast drivers who’d run over their own children to win, and a lot of slower drivers who will qualify in the back and stay out of the way anyway. And a lot of people just out to cause as much mayhem as possible. Sort by safety rating first and let the clean drivers have a race even if some of us get lapped and let the griefers slug it out among themselves.
Matchmaking should be on safety rating and not skill rating should try matchmake with safety therefore the racing will be more fun with clean drivers
