That's impossible....if your not getting incidences your SR will go up with
every corner. Bear in mind, even dropping a wheel for a 1X will cost you
SR even if its for a split second.

Either its actually going up, your incurring small penalties (wheel off etc)
that are driving your SR down or you have found a game bug.

If your in Legends try starting from the pit lane, in the last race three of us
started on pit row only to finish 4-5-6.

Lot less chance of SR being dinged that way too, and it counts 2.85 times
more than a time trial.

Everytime I do a TT my sr goes down and I'm clean and do 10 gpod laps

I think you need to do full 30 minute session to get .07 points.

Just don't grid, wait til the timer runs out and it will place you on pit road after you
press "Go" or whatever it says.

You'll start a third of a lap behind the last car...

That's not quite true, the actual SR gain is dependent on two things, number of corners and incidences.

A three turn track like Daytona would be about 110 corners giver or take a few. A short
track like Lanier would be around 450 corners, again give or take. Assuming you had the
same incidences in each, Lanier would net your more SR. The same could be said for a road
course as well. Granted the longer you do a Time Trial the more likelihood of significant
gains.

Your also dealing with a 1000-2500 corner history, if you push out a bad SR race with
good SR you will see a greater gain verses pushing out a good SR event with another
good SR event.

Clear as mud...

Time trials only count as .35 in normal SR scoring, you basically did 4 laps under race
conditions so I would not expect it to change. If you want to add SR do a Legends
race, start from pit road. I just did a Late Model race, 65 laps at Lanier no incidences
and netted a SR gain of .12. You made 16 corners with zero incidences however your
SR rating is based off the last 1000-2500 corners (upper end for higher license levels).

Time trials will take you forever, 12 laps at South Boston is under four minutes at
steam. To SR gain in a TT you need to spend 30 minutes, and then only gain .03-.05
at most.

Race gentlemen!

Ugh, hero to zero...

I was a front runner in the Legend cars, that is until I got to good for my britches and moved
into the top split. I would have won the second split instead I tried not to get run over starting 6th
in the top split. Falling back to eighth (of 12) I had the lowest IRating (1,600) in a SOF of 2300, ouch,
back to being a mid packer.

The winner had a IRating in the 5,000's!

 :uhoh :confused: :(
