Minorating.com (drivers thread)

We're MR grade A people, man!

 

I've decided to make a concerted effort to improve my ranking.
It would be nice for users to be able to see how close they are to achieving the next level.
I assume there is an internal numeric score which is translated into the MR grade.
The ability to chart that score over time would be really useful as in the mock-up below

 

hi
please help me

i copy server_cfg in folder ../server to ../cfg

 

Don't want to make a fuss about this, but I think it's worth mentioning since I thought this issue has been solved before: The other day (1/30/2018 10:04:19 PM – see MR link in my signature) MR reported 4 CP for crossing the pit exit line.
Fun fact: This happend right after the race start, not when exiting the pits.

 

I checked my MR stats and currently my only 1.0CP is from a pit exit line violation. It was actually after a qualy session when I was frustrated with the car so smashed it into the pit wall at Barcelona after the line the car bounced back and got the CP. I think I can live with the ratings hit lol but seems it just registers if you cross it from the pit side. Its possible at some tracks at race start you may be pushed wide and then go back onto the track, its not like its something that will happen very often so it shouldnt be a big deal but just saying how I see that this can register a false penalty.

 

Awww, thanks.

 

I raced in iRacing a little bit. And I think that I like Minorating approach much more. I think Minorating could use some higher steps like A+, and A++ or something like that, just for the record. But I really like that minorating is promoting a close racing, and close racing is what counts. As it seems that in iR only driving counts. Still hard to judge iR system though, I don't understand it completely, seems a bit weird. But I like minorating more, and simple Minorating AB servers are better than iRacing IMO.

 

There are irating and safety rating. Iracing creates splits by how successful you are in finishing high on the result page and not by how safe you are on the track.
So you can be A 4.99 licence and race in the same split as a guy with C 1.3 licence.
Some people on iracing service say that they don't care about SR and only go after IR. Maybe that's the way to go but it takes completely different mindset from my own.
To me its: 1. don't ruin other people race 2. go as fast as i can. IMO if you're born that way, it's a hard life in online racing.
To conclude, you'll end up racing people who have similar pace as you (great) but many of them might get involved in incidents several times more frequent than yourself.
Few things are more nerve wrecking for me than being surrounded by fast but low SR rated drivers at the start of the race.

 

Exactly, thats why I feel that iR ratings system is not such a perfect example how to do it.

Performance and safety ratings are separated, there seems to be so little link between them. Also safety rating is more like reflecting experience, but not recent racing quality. And not even racing, but more like driving around. MR is way better. There is no confidence when I race in iR, as there is when you enter Minorating A server, or even AB. ABC not so much

And yeah when performance rating is kinda more important, and safety rating climbs up "naturally", I really understand why there is no magic when you get to race competitive guys for a few laps, and that close racing doesn't last that much like it does in AC with Minorating.

I would also like to share my observations, I have no strong proof for this, just from racing in non Minorating servers, it seems like more and more drivers are developing better race craft in Minorating servers, and then brings it to non Minorating servers as well. So it is like a positive virus

 

SR is there to restrict you from racing higher powered/class cars. In addition it is info on how safe you are and a good motivation to get more content, aka advance in classes.
So people who say they only look after irating, might after all have better approach than those who care more about SR. That is if they don't aim at F1.
I am A class but i never raced F1 cars because i don't care for them. I like to race GT3 and for that i can be C licence. Even more, i like to race Porsche Cup and for that i can be D.

 

Yes it feels like it is there for like artificial "walkthrough" of the game. I saw some really bad driving from people who had much higher SR than me. I don't know how it becomes with higher license classes in iR, but feels like if you just keep climbing on if you race as much as it is needed, and don't do too much stupid things. So it makes sense to go after performance rating there, and not to care about few little accidents in the way, as long as you don't hit "accidents limit" per race.

 

@Minolin Nice thingy you got there under your name.
Grats, well deserved. ACC ranking system seems to be in good hands.

 

Wow, congrats @Minolin !
You really deserved it.

 

Now I understand why he turned to the dark side of the Force

 

congrats Minolin!*

*I expect my rating in ACC to be starting at extra points from this ***-kissing

 

A dream come true

Grats Kunos and Mino!

 

Awesome!

Minorating in ACC will be amazing.

Congratz and good luck.


Does that mean ACC will have phyton app support?
