Hi all,
today I got my copy of N4. While trying the game online via Sierra.com I
sometimes got the message:
"You`re not qualified to drive in this race"
Can someone explain me what this means?
Another thing: i`ve heard about a ranking system for N4, where can I find
it, and how does it work? Or do the 2 things belong togeather?
1000 thx advance if these questions are already answered
Best

The fact that your ranking isn't high enough to enter the race is why
you're getting the message.  Rankings are automagically calculated by N4
when you finish a race.

When a person sets up a server there are options I believe that only allow
qualified drivers to join that server to race, and that's where the rankings
come into play. 0-10 any one can join and there are usually pretty
wreckfested ( is that even a word lol ). On the ranking it's hard to explain
but the more laps you run accident free the higher your ranking goes that's
where the "You are not qualified to drive this race" comes into play. Join
the races that have 0-10 and get lots of laps in to bring your rankings up.
