There's a logic behind "so to gain points you should not lose to lower ranked player than yours. Else...", Niksasphalt8.

This AssFault 8, as many other online multiplayer video games, uses a simplified/ customized version of the same Elo Rating System created to globally rate the topmost chess players.

The basic, grossly simplified, principle behind is that Goliath is supposed to easily defeat David, so it's not a big deal when he wins. But, in case underdog David wins... that's a big, prizeworthy accomplishment!

(And it's important to note that all of this has nothing to do with car ranks, but is rather calculated from racer ratings.)
