Again, has anyone bothered to read the Game Manual for v6.5?

Gear button>i button (Help & About)>Game Manual button>Multiplayer button in the game.

And if you don't want to look in game, I retyped it for you all here on the wiki. https://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/Tournaments#Online_Multiplayer

And if you don't want to click on the link, here it is: Online Multiplayer Relaunch

"Online Multiplayer is a weekly tournament that pits up to 8 competitors against one another in exciting real-time races. For the best Online Multiplayer experience, the use of a WiFi connection is recommended. How Online Multiplayer Works  Every week, a new Online Multiplayer tournament begins with a different selection of cars, and every day, 3 tracks are selected and are cycled on a regular basis. You receive a rating based on how well you perform during the active tournament. Improve your rating over multiple races to increase your final Gold reward at the end of the tournament.  Racing  To start racing, navigate to the Online Multiplayer menu and tap on the menu card. When you first enter a new tournament, your rating will not yet be determined. You will need to participate in at least one Online Multiplayer race to receive a rating for a reward at the end of the tournament. Tap the menu card again to enter the tournament. Once you have entered you will be presented with a selection of cars that are available for that race. At least one car will be available on loan if you don't already own it. From here you can also select INVITE to start a private race with up to 7 friends from your friends list. Note that friends must have notifications enabled for their game to receive an invite and after the race your ratings will not change. Choose your car and select GO to enter the matchmaking screen. Here the server will attempt to match you with similar opponents. You can cancel at any time in the matchmaking screen and doing so will not affect your rating. Once you have been matched, you will be loaded into the race. The race begins with all opponents being reverse sorted by rating on the grid. During the race, you cannot pause the game and it will continue to run in the background even with the pause menu open. Note if you decide to exit mid-race you will be recorded as a DNF (Did Not Finish) and your rating might drop as a result. The race ends after everyone has crossed the finish line. If the last player takes more than 60 seconds to complete the race after everyone else has crossed the finish line, they will be considered DNF and the race will end immediately. After completing the race, you can review the race results, and Service or Upgrade your car. From the Upgrades screen you have the option to EXIT or to RACE again. Racing against new opponents based on your rating. Rating and Rewards At the end of each race, you will be rated on your performance versus your opponents. Beating players will increase your rating, while losing will decrease it. If you beat higher rated players, your own rating will increase greatly; conversely, if you lose to a lower rated player, you rating will greatly decrease. Note that you do not have to win the race for your rating to increase. Upon completion of an Online Multiplayer event, you will be ranked on the global Online Multiplayer leaderboard, where you can compare your rating with players from all over the world. At the end of a tournament week, all participating players will receive a Gold reward based on their rating."
