N4 - LPI and ratings linked?

I have a question - I was a 8SS, 4 SW and 5 RC rated under the old system with an LPI over about 1200. Recently, I was stuck on a 5SS and a LPI bouncing between 22 and 29. My RC was 1. Both would not go any higher in spite of no DNF's and finishing ahead of my qualifying position. I made a point of always finishing no matter what because many players would drop right out after a wreck. Through attrition, I would always do well ( top 10, top 20, etc ). However, being caught in wrecks, wreckers carnage etc was killing my LPI. My SS and RC ratings never moved after they hit the current plateau. No matter winning, top 5, etc. Is there a direct link between you jumping to a 6 rating and your LPI? I started a new name last night and after 5 races have two wins, two seconds and a fifth. Only one crash - wrecker caused - and I now have a 2SS rating and an LPI of 86. It seems to me I received the two rating awfully fast. Link to LPI? Has anyone figured out how the new rating system works? Thanks! *************************** Dave Pawlikowski [email hidden] www.cushdrive.com www.luftwaffe-experten.com *********************************

my lpi is like 600 and I'm only a 1 on sw and 0 on all else.

Dave. I believe Uncle Fester can answer this but the way I was told from the old rating & new is: You get IC an now even if you are rear ended & not the cause of an IC=Incident Caused. Also this puts a direct change in your detailed info with the 8 [or is it 9?] races listed with + or - numbers for each race! This really holds you back from going up in the ratings and personally the IC stinks now!! Too many wreckers and clowns now too! jmo...Thom_j.

Thom - where do i find my IC? On the cool down lap, people wreck and crash into one another. Do those count towards your IC? Why do I get an IC if I'm rear ended?????

When you are in any lobby just hightlight your N4 name, click the letter "P" at the bottom & then on your keyboard hit your "left" Ctrl-Shift and it will all pop'up.. ok? From the Pace Lap to the Checkered Flag I've got ICs but never after the Checker tho... [This is coming from my experience and complaints in the lobbys] As I was told: In the new ratings no matter if you hit or they hit you it's considered an IC now! Before only if you caused the accident aka IC then you would get an IC.. I dont write the info just report it poorly.. Weird..huh?? Thom_j. "Dave Pawlikowski" wrote:

I have one league that races on Sierra, the rest via IP. I have about 10 -12 races 5 of those pickup races, with a few wins. I push, but learned not to do too many stupid things like take chances, when you can get a better situation down the road. :) -- Sean Higgins Redline Racing League www.rrlnrs.com Redline BGN Division http://home.sprintmail.com/~higgy/RRL/ "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Fi8X6.20328$[email hidden]... > With a 600 lpi & a 1 & 0 via the new ratings are you racing on the > track or just riding around slowly missing the wreckers?..lol Sorry > Sean I just couldnt pass this one up!
