Have just been reading some comments on fanatec blog... looks like the wheel really does alter perception of the FFB!

Yes - add another 1.0 to your SR rating and you'll get instant promotion.

Yup - that sounds right - if the "normal" promotion level is 3.0 (which sounds right)... then you have to reach 4.0 for early promotion.

I totally suck at this game, why is the mx5 so twitch when downshifting? i'm using the 6 speed shifter and a lot of the time when i downshift it just goes into a mega spin into the corner before i even turn :S
it seems to do that when you go down to 2nd too soon or when not needed or when standing on the brakes obviously...
You will be locking the rears on downshift.
Yes, basically there are two methods of promotion/demotion:
'old' way (they way I went through the game, none of this new fangled stuff) is to be either above 3.0 or below 2.0 (iirc) at the promotion date (and to be promoted you need to complete your 'minimum participation requirement')
The new, or fast-track, way is to get either above 4.0 or below 1.0 at any time (and having completed your MPR as above).
Note that you can't get demoted back to Rookie, it stops at D Class.
I recently got demoted from A to b on road due to being an idiot and racing too much when I just wasn't 'in the mood', always a sure way to rack up large incident counts by spinning at every third corner
I assume in practice, ranking points are not active?
Nope! Have at it in practice and see how much you can push yourself.

That sucks then haha, I shift into 2nd at higher revs in my car all the time. Just gonna have to start doing it later and more softly I guess
Cheers for the advice guys

so say if i was at c class and got 4.0 safety so that would take me to auto b class right?, what happens if you drop below 4.0 does it auto demote you back to c class???
No you would stay at B, below 1.0 will demote you again i beleive
ahhh thanks for the info mate..
im getting too into this game now, its gunna get expensive...
No worries, It does! But hell, its a lot of fun
i dont like the Pontiac or the spec racer, think ill stick with the mx5 till i can enter the skip barber series...
Likewise.
