Share Your Driver Rating

Here's mine Mihael, however it doesn't show anything. Still new to these stats and trying to understand what these numbers mean (both my score and the + or - I get from daily races or time trials.

Can someone explain it to me?

I assume that the number (I just hit over 50 today, yeah) is basically from all possible online races and time trials together, taking your relative contribution vs a previous one (which is where a + or - for a race event comes from). Is that correct?

Just to clarify, your Driver Rating (DR) is currently 0 simply because that’s what it is at the moment. You also have a Safety Rating of B, which usually means you’ve recently had a DR reset. In Gran Turismo, DR D is the lowest rating, so when your DR drops to 0, you're technically still in the D tier (not in E).

It’s not a bug or anything broken, it just reflects your current standing after a potential reset or quitting too many races.

Once you start racing again and putting in clean results, your DR will start to go back up. If you do a few races, especially without quitting and by driving clean, your DR should recover pretty quickly. Just keep in mind that the A race usually doesn’t affect DR, so it’s better to focus on B or C races for ranking progress.

Ciao GG

I think it rather reflects my driving LOL. I usually make 1 mistake per online race and get banged out 1-2 times by other from behind (yesterday a Corvette who did that Police Car move of pushing me at one end of the car in a corner - he was SR A so he surely knows what he was doing). I'm having lot's of people around me in the race who go all over the place, they do mistake like I do (break too late, accelerate too much, not enough trail braking and then going too wide).

So while I have slightly over 10 races now, I'm still not improving my DR due to those errors. Only my SR is getting slowly better.

BTW, not sure if I need to the licenses, missions and circuit experiences as well to improve the DR or it's only my online race.

I quit once race and learned afterwards that it's basically the worst to do (at my driving skills).

Didn't know about the A race not counting but thanks, good to know.

You don’t need to do licenses, missions, or circuit experiences to improve your DR, only online Sport Mode races affect your Driver Rating.

That said, doing circuit experiences can definitely help you learn the tracks and get more consistent, which will naturally improve your performance (and DR) in online races. So while it's not required, it can still be really useful.

Hi Mihael

This new feature to check DR stats is very useful and i really missed it on your page. Great!

Now i got one question: On your page my DR stats are 56688 and on GTSH (https://gt7.gtsh-rank.com/profile/) it says 53344.

So which one is now correct? Can you help me to explain it?

Thanks and regards

The reason for the discrepancy is that GTSH is still using the older methodology for calculating Driver Rating, which caps out at 100,000 DR.

On our end, we’ve updated the system to reflect the newer PD scaling, where the max DR is now 150,000. In fact, if you look at the World Series points lately, you’ll see scores going above 500, which strongly suggests that PD has increased the overall point cap in the background.

Why GTSH is still using the old scale isn’t clear to me, but I can confirm that the values you're seeing on our page are using the updated structure that matches what we observe in the current GT7 data.

You can hava a look at DR Points Range here.

If you’re a streamer and want to check your driver rating or share your stream strip, here’s how you can do it:

Go to your profile. If your profile is claimed, you’ll see a stream strip in the upper right corner. Click on it to reveal your unique URL. You can copy this link and paste it into your OBS software.

To make the strip interactive in OBS, right-click the browser source (which you already added), select "Interact," and log in if needed. You can also refresh the strip whenever you want to keep it updated.

If you have any questions or need help with the setup, feel free to reach out and I’ll guide you through it.

Error 500 for me, is there a problem ?

This issue has been resolved.

If you visit the gtsh-rank website or the Race Online Hungary Discord channel, you'll find that ROH's reverse engineering clearly explains why the calculation presented here by Matika and other platforms is incorrect.

The data shown on those platforms is simply inaccurate and is calculated based on flawed theory, not on actual game code or data.

Honestly, from what I can see, their system just doesn’t hold up. The logic they’ve presented doesn't add up.

The only noticeable change affected A+ rated players, and that’s key. Only A+ accounts had their progress bars visibly adjusted in their profiles. That clearly suggests the cap was lifted for A+, while all other DR tiers remained unchanged. This means the underlying scoring system stayed the same for everyone else.

So, using your example, if A is capped at 50,000 DR, and previously A+ was capped at 100,000, your bar (in-game) dropping to 50% after sitting at 100K would imply that the new A+ cap is now 150,000.

In short, PD only stretched the DR ceiling for A+ players, and that’s why others aren’t seeing the same kind of shift.

Any logic can sound reasonable if you package it well and present it to an audience that doesn’t dig deeper. And often, the public will just accept what’s being said without really questioning the mechanics behind it. But when you actually look into what the system is meant to do, and compare it to how it behaves, the explanation they’ve given just doesn’t line up.

What’s puzzling is why they’re going to such lengths to defend or overcomplicate something that should be transparent and simple.

Actually, the cap wasn’t increased they simply rescaled the DR values for A+ players. If you’ve read the reverse engineering post by Race Online Hungary (ROH), this becomes quite clear. Their analysis pulled the threshold values directly from the game’s ad-hoc script files, which are hard coded not speculation.

Some platforms (including yours) believe the new cap is 150,000 because PDI misleadingly stated that the “upper limit has increased.” As a result, much of the community assumed that an A+ player sitting at 100,000 DR and now showing 50% progress must mean the new cap is 150,000.

But that’s a flawed conclusion it’s based on assumption, not data. ROH’s findings, on the other hand, are grounded in the actual adhoc game script files. The core thresholds haven’t changed just the scaling and visual representation for A+ accounts. 

And by the way, they also uncovered other internal parameters related to how the scoring system works, further confirming that the underlying mechanics haven’t been structurally changed only how they’re presented has.

So no, the DR ceiling didn’t go up. It was visually stretched, not structurally changed. Just take a look at the ROH discord breakdown, it's all there..

Honestly, I’m not going to dive any deeper into it. If they believe they got it right, that’s absolutely fine, they can stand by their logic. But in my opinion, the system will stay exactly as it is, and unless we get official confirmation from Polyphony Digital, I’ll stick with the calculations we currently have.

Just starting out with actively driving my DR up, I consider myself a clean racer but also understand that some cant be helped.

How to I use things like the my delta to maximize gain? I have noticed that some races hugely affect my score while others barely touch it.

Example being after a couple of disaster races where I got punted sevel times and then got caught up with someone hitting the wall and they came to a full stop but didnt ghost so I got totally wrecked my rating was almost bottom of D. Cut to a couple of races later and I was mid C.  How does that happen?

The only real way to improve your DR is to become a faster driver. That means consistently beating players with lower ratings, which usually requires finishing in the top three, or at least the top five.

I recommend spending more time in qualifying and only racing when you feel confident in your pace. Strong qualifying helps you start near the front and gives you a better chance to finish in those top positions. The key is consistently beating drivers with similar or lower ratings. Since races usually place you in lobbies with drivers close to your own rating, outperforming them will steadily improve your DR.

Even if you get wrecked and it is not your fault, it does not really matter. What matters is where you finish. Focus on staying clean so you are placed in lobbies with other clean drivers. Improve your qualifying, avoid unnecessary risks, and finish races consistently. That is how you make progress.
