I have all assists turned off in options and also select the Get Real setting. My championships both say Novice. Why?
Been like that since Nov 18 update for me. A Championship set up prior to that update still shows as Get real. Given my performance in my last 2 races, I am starting to wonder if it is not just an algorithm giving me a reality check. Makes my advanced statistics page a mess though, however, I am not sure if that was accurate, to begin with.
There are some ongoing issues with this type of thing, probably as a result of them not having a UI developer for quite a while. Whilst annoying it doesn't affect anything gameplay wise so I wouldn't worry about it. It will most likely be sorted out in due course.
