Your driver level is _probably_ best indicated in Online Multiplayer Tournament, with ability to react quickly, avoid collisions and stay on track. Yes, servers may be slow, hackers may be present, and it's tough. If you get in the top 1000 drivers at the end then you are very very good (to get any gold you need to be in top 80 or so, which suggests that 80-90 thousand drivers participate).

Another way to test your skill is to try to win a difficult race. For example, in the Amateur I recently drove 6 cyl annihilation series Elimination in #9 and in #18 using GT-R R34 (fully upgraded, completely unserviced) while online. If you can come 1st then you have skill because you compete in an unserviced 15 PR car against serviced 30 PR cars.
