N4 ranking, getting races to count in your stats

I was under the impression that to have a race count in your stats, you had to join a race (through the sierra.com link) where the host has specified a ranking range. I've only run two on-line races, both Daytona races that were coded "0-10". Neither has shown up in my stats, it still shows "0" in all categories. Is there some other requirement, such as length of race or number of competitors?

I don't know the specifics, but you are right. You have to join a ranked race. However, if they are like the Raceserver.net rankings, then you must have a certain number of drivers at the start before the rankings will count. This is to prevent two guys going out to bristol and putting down a couple of hundred 2 lap races with each guy winning 50 or so times. Also you 'probably' need to earn some sort of points in the race. Cruising around at the tail end of the pack will not increase your ranking. I started about 4 ranked races so far. I've seen results only from two of them. dave henrie "Don Jennings" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:96rj1j$m3t1u$[email hidden]... > I was under the impression that to have a race count in your stats, youhad > to join a race (through the sierra.com link) where the host has specifieda > ranking range.

I wondered about that. The second of the races only had about 5 cars and I finished 2nd, but the first one had about 23 starters and I finished 3rd.

Its my understanding that a race with 0-10 is an "unrestricted" race and rankings will not be produced. The race has to have some sort of "restriction" either 0 or 5 or 10 without a range in order to count toward rankings. edb Don Jennings <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:96rtlp$m2qht$[email hidden]... > Dave Henrie wrote ... > <snip> > > if they are like the Raceserver.net rankings, then you > > must have a certain number of drivers at the start before the rankings > will > > count.

I raced a couple at Watkins Glen on a Papy server with 0-10 ratings with a large crowd and got 1 RC rating each race :) At least you will/should see your LPI go up even if you didn't get a rating. Races with "-" are non-rating servers. Pointing your mouse to the RTG title while in WON gives lots of good help on each field. Jason. EDB wrote:

I don't have the specific details, but the race has to have ratings enabled in the Ratings column, there has to be a minimum of either 4 or 5 people in the race, and the race length has to be over 10 minutes, before ratings are actually scored. Or something like that. :) Don Jennings wrote:

no from what I gathered....0-10 IS a ranked race. It's the ones with NO rating at all - that are unrestricted and do not contribute to your rankings. dave henrie "EDB" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NGCk6.93092$[email hidden]...

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Well, I don't pretend to understand this system any more than the rest, that's for sure, but I do know for a a fact that 0-10 races score. Almost every single race I've run in has had a 0-10 setting, and I've worked up to a RC=1, ST=2, SW=3 and SS=4, with an LPI of 525. We _really_ need Papyrus to document this entire system. Now... It's intended to mean _something_, and if we don't understand the meaning, how can it ever be applied to anything? -Larry "EDB" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NGCk6.93092$[email hidden]...
