I hoped to get to a decent ranking then just sit it out for the rest of the week as I could lose a chunk of my points with just one more race. Another of my theories which didn't pan out was to quit before the race before it started if the majority of opponents had a lower rating than me - but you get a shed load of points deducted for doing that. A theory which does seem to work most of the time if your running the loan car with no upgrades is to be very selective on which tracks you race - on average I lose points racing on fast tracks like Daytona and win points on slower complex tracks like New York. I'm currently sitting at 638 (5 gold) and I don't think I can get much higher with the loan car - odds are if I continue to race I'll lose points - my points have not dropped since my last race 12 hours ago - fingers crossed it stays that way.

I will monitor more closely now. I really haven‘t been playing the new OMP much so far, since I only have a zero upgraded loan car, which is not competitive enough.

I think my rating has dropped twice over the days, once from just below 500 to about 170, and then again from about 170 to 100, without doing anything. So I raced two OMPs and now I have 227. Let‘s see what happens next!
