SR Rating - How does it work?

[StKnowhere 161]

@ChrisGrovesMCM  could you please explain how the SR rating works?

Sometimes the rating seems somewhat random relative to the most recent race.

1. Is there one rating or is it track dependent?
2. What is the impact on the driving experience of having a high or low rating?

How does it work? It doesn't. And what's more, the game works the same way when you have a rating of five as it does when you have 0.5. And to add to the mystery, how do you race in an unsafe manner and lose rating points when you are racing a ghost car in a qualifying one on one? 

And did you know that you can get a full green safety rating by immediately destroying your car at the start of a race. I discovered this when grid starts were at their worst. I decided not to compete and was shocked to find that you can become a "safe driver" by crashing with a DNF in the space of around four or five races.

It seems to randomly move up and down even with no incidents/corner cuts as well as after qualifying towards a 3.0.

And btw, if you are like two weeks without playing, the SR falls massively in the next duel (mine goes for 3.6 to 0.9). It basically ruin my wish of play

But it doesn't do anything anyway. My car is no different with zero safety or 5.

Yes it doesn’t work as it should. My rating can drop after a qualifying race.

Mine can drop changing a decal.
