@AFU who claims that it is possible to reach Elite League 4000+ rating without hacks or clans...

Erm... no. I don't want to buy a gazillion Tickets and Extra Tanks.

Today, I gained 17 rating points in 5 races but lost 16 rating points in three races which I did 2-3 hours later. I had to quit a race in my SLK SE after getting knocked down by a Sagaris. I had to quit a race after crashing my Hussarya GT. And I came second to an SLK SE after I braked at the start to avoid getting knocked down by an MP4/8.

Then, after that, I lost 10 rating points after my game crashed during a lobby on a Free Race.

So, I've basically quit Multiplayer now. And I can't play any more Multiplayer for a week, starting from tomorrow, so I'm probably going to be hit with an inactivity penalty. That means my final rating should be 2187; down from 2238 (or I could just play one race and quit; losing only 2 rating points instead of 25 if I manage to get home in time to do that). It doesn't really matter since I'm still in the same bracket.

I'm going to win the SIN R1 for sure... but I only have 4 V8 Engines.

Next season, I will start at 1900 rating. Next time, I will be fully prepared for the Multiplayer scene. I'm starting with a 0500 5050 0800 SLK SE and a 5555 5555 Hussarya GT, instead of an under-ranked SLK SE (I didn't even have it at the beginning), an under-ranked/1690 Hussarya GT, an under-ranked MP4-31, a 5555 5555 Corvette GS, a 2502 5051 Camaro SS, a 0505 5051 TVR Sagaris, and a 0501 5050 Shelby Cobra 427 (all of these were what I started with at the beginning of this season).

My cars are so good now (ie, the SLK SE and Hussarya GT) that Champion League should no longer be as massive of a struggle as it was before. But, of course, Elite League will always be a struggle. And with an extremely limited supply of resources and very glitchy things happening all the time (I've complained to GL Customer Care about my situation), I'm not really that interested in going any higher than 2300.

By the way, I've been recently focusing on my TLE placements as well. I placed 203rd and 280th in two Class S Heats with my Hussarya GT, 106th in a Class C Heat with my Renault Alpine Celebration, 413th in the 2018 Cup, 275th in the New Year Cup, ~350th in the Tokyo Cup, and I'm currently placed at 61st in the Friday Heat (my position is going to become worse).

Btw, because I am leaving tomorrow, I won't be able to collect my Heat rewards from today. I wonder how long they will last for? Maybe I can collect them in a week's time...
