Hey Fellow Racers,

Played a long time - level 184 - and it's always been a real love-hate relationship with this game for all the reasons well documented in these pages.

A specific love-hate example would apply to the Online Multiplayer events. I LOVE racing real opponents, not bots, and the variety of sprint races and cars across A, B and C leagues. What I HATE though, is finding race opponents who have similar ratings to me, and accordingly scoring well.

Every week I find it easy to get to 8 or 900 points - but from that point, maybe only one in ten races I'll have a higher-ranked oppoonent. Invariably that means the higher I get, the more likely I am to receive scores of less than 30 when I win - often even single digit - but I'll lose in excess of 50 points if I place second or less (due to losing to lower-ranked opponents). I've never cracked a ratinjg of more than 1000.

So my question is: am I doing something wrong? Is there a trick to find/challenge higher-rated opponents, and accordingly score better in the Online Multiplayer?

Thanks a lot!
