This truly is a terrible implementation. Ranked is just a terrible downgrade from previous iterations of the series. This trophy just needs to be changed, as clearly, there is something wrong with the way it was actually programmed since it does not work as intended.
@runningfish007 the entire online system needs to be changed but EA aren't open to feedback. It needs to take notes from GT7. They don't have a perfect penalty system but it's much better than F1. And if you get hit or taken out in GT7 at least your damage heals back and you can continue racing unlike F1. The lobbies are also awful. They are never full and people always leave so you barely get any points.

Well, new patch just dropped. As expected, no fix or mention of this bug. Today I have finally gotten to Elite after doing this horrid process again, because I no longer have any faith that this gets fixed anytime soon. The playerbase has also dropped from 35k to barely over 20k this season, which says it all really. Awful AWFUL experience regardless of this trophy. The online is and always will be a mess until EA start acting upon feedback.

Did you get the trophy?

Yes. For now AFAIK within this group (on playstation) me and @CosmoWolf33 did it but we had to do it all over again. It sucks but with the lack of info on the latest patch about this problem this effectively means "no rest for the wicked" I guess... I just hope people hunting this achievement/trophy are made aware this might be the final weekend to try and go for it, the last week may not count at all, so please beware. Someone should make an official announcement regarding this matter or else we risk having a new group of frustrated gamers again, it´s terrible I would not wish that even for an enemy.

Agree. The penalty system is completely out of whack. Someone rear ends me at the end of the long straight in China, boots me off track and into wall. I DNF and lose points l, he didn't even get a warning for collision. Have also had multiple people turn in on me and I get the warning and not them. Or straight up get rear ended during the opening and I also get the warning for collision. Track limits are a joke, people abuse them to get higher positions, and either I have to follow them to keep up, but end up getting all my points deducted, or stay within limits and fall down the order and get almost no points.
I've bought every single F1 game going back to 16 and completed them all. The lack of foresight about this trophy is terrible. How will it even be executable when the player base drops. Transparency in the points process, group assignments and promotion slots would go a long way to analyze this. In any case, it is doubtful there is a plan for this, but I can state plainly that if this become not reasonably achievable within the first few seasons, this will be the last F1 game I purchase.
