I had to leave races at some point because I did not get any points. when I had 1400 points, I got no points from opponents with 1000-1100 points. Not under it anyway. Yeah, the points system in OMP can be bizarre. Whilst it makes sense that beating an opponent with more points grabs you more points than beating one with less, the very fact of winning must also be worth something, otherwise the risk of playing is not rewarded once you have a decent point balance.

IMO FM needs to either adjust the point system and/or improve the matching system. It's a difficult problem to crack. You can have that problem from about 1000 points and up. You win a race, everyone else is 400 points or less and you get 0. They want to get you into a race within 10 seconds it seems. Well there's not that many guys available at that level of points within a 10 second window. There's also time zone issues, some people are sleeping when others are racing.

I would like to see a system where 1st place gets a guaranteed amount of points no matter what and then the usual points are added on top of that. I just posted this request over on the Real Racing 3 Reddit page. If you guys agree with this, then please head over to the Reddit thread and upvote the post so that it gets more attention.

Based on episode 9 of their videos, they are paying attention to what people are talking about. By the way, my shark livery got a brief appearance in episode 9!

How do I vote on Reddit? Do I have to set up an account first?

I would like to see a slightly adjusted version of your proposal, where maybe the first 3 places all get some bonus points.

As you and I have pointed out the main issue is that the risk of racing is not rewarded once you have a decent amount of points. Yesterday I made one biggish mistake (cut a corner too fine and got an off-track penalty) and that cost me over 100 points! So now I am siting on 963 points and wondering whether to risk any more racing or just take 11 gold coins. Stupid really, it should be about having fun and racing.

Another suggestion would be to base the GC rewards on your highest number of points achieved during the week, irrespective of whether you lose them later. This would take the risk of racing away!
