This drives me insane also, it's so frustrating this system, and I just feel like I'm wasting time playing it, when you try to pass from a tier to another you just get smashed with an opponent that has 100PR higher than you, so it's impossible to beat that, plus it's not even the same car I have, just let players compete with the same car same PR and let the skills decide who wins, that way there is no frustration, as long as they don't use cheats but that is another subject that never gets resolved. Anyway this forum seems useless also because no dev seems to answer or at least try to do smth. FFS!!!
