    ...And went in the GTR4@Raceroom server.
    Never again :eek:.
    After that I took the sane route: Group2@Zandvoort, which was brilliant :rolleyes:.

    Yepp. If you like your ranking stay away from the free content tracks. Too many crash kids outthere.

    It`s a shame though, because I really like both the track and the class. Maybe there should be a minimum reputation for the free tracks. Like 100 o_O

    Same here...I had a very good reputation of around 86 with only a few races done up until that point. I made the huge mistake to participate in this combo and was DQd because I went into cars parked on the track 3 times without a chance to avoid and was crashed into by several cars after these occasions. I would have never thought that I will be DQd in any race ever since I am quite careful when racing and I am used to club racing where you really try to avoid any incident.
    DQ pushed my rep down to 71 something, I was quite baffled. Needed 4 of these chaos races to get over 75 again.

    What did I learn? I will never again join any rookie race.

    I had three bad races and my rating dropped 15 points. It`s taken me about ten races to get over 90 again. I only seem to be able to pick up .2-.4 per race, even with very few IPs.

    Nonsense. You can easily race on the Rookie servers as long as you keep your wits about you.
    I'm on them all the time because they tend to feature cars that I like, and only twice has my Rep dipped below 90 since November.
    Granted, free content servers are death-traps, but that aside the Rookie servers aren't nearly as bad as people make them seem.
    Just don't expect super-close door-to-door racing, and don't assume everyone else has the same skill-level as you, and you'll be fine.
