There are often comments about how bad DNF is...
You approach DNFs as if each one took a year off your life... You may have forgotten, but it's just a game. If you think you'll quickly get DR Silver (or even Gold), you better wake up... Most people have trouble getting SR Silver...
You need to have an innate talent for this type of game or thousands of hours of training on every track and even in every type of car.
Additionally, the game itself doesn't allow beginners to progress. Why? Check out the beginner race leaderboard! Are the people in DR S1-3 and G1-3 really beginners? Who is the best beginner player at e.g. La Sarthe? Why does a beginner player have to ride with DR Silver/Gold??? This doesn't seem like a problem, but think about it... if the podium is occupied by players with DR S/G, it means that players with DR B won't be on the podium and won't earn more DR points.
Why does someone from DR S/G after getting a warning badge have the opportunity to ride in low splits in BEGINNERS races???
This is a crazy system designed specifically for advanced players who can easily repair their badge and DR/SR. Where can a beginner easily repair their badge and DR/SR? Nowhere, because the game makes life easier for about 10-20% of players?
Maybe studio 397 will finally get this thing under control and beginner races will finally be for BEGINNERS!!!
Imagine the despair of someone in DR S3 who gets a warning badge and has no easy way to fix it. Why? Because they'll have to continue splitting with DR S3 players, and the best part is, they'll have to drive carefully and avoid contact, which means they'll definitely lose DR.
To better understand the situation, let me give you an example. Imagine a professional heavyweight boxer who doesn't win a fight and falls in the rankings.
And this boxer starts fighting in competitions with amateur boxers and, of course, he wins all the fights and his ranking as a professional boxer increases.
Do you see any sense in that? I don't. And that's exactly what happens in this game.
Of course, the situations described do not apply to all DR S/G players.
