Driver Ratings Guide
At ZFS Rating we have a few ways to measure and monitor your progress, but when it boils down to it there are 3 main ratings that impact your racing at ZFS.
All our ratings are held in our analytics pages, which you will find by going to the menu at the top and pressing on ‘Race Data’.
Please see below guides for more info on how these ratings are worked out and how they specifically impact certain parts of ZFS Racing.
| Rating Name | What does it measure? | What does it impact? |
|---|---|---|
| Prestige Rating | Prestige rating is best understood as ‘experience’ points. Things you do within ZFS Racing will earn you prestige points and certain items you can buy can offer perks that boost the amount you gain prestige. | As your prestige increases you will be able to sign with higher value sponsors which increases the total amount of credits you earn in ZFS Racing. It also unlocks more garages, driver items, headquarters and departments that are available for you to buy. |
| ELO | Your ELO is a measure of your pace, how fast you are at GT7. It’s calculated by assessing your finishing position in a race, and then based on those drivers ELO compared to your own your rating will increase or decrease respectively. Much like GT7’s own DR rating in sport mode. | Your ELO controls which lobby you get placed into at the start of a season. The higher your rating, the faster drivers you’ll be alongside on track.Your ELO Rating also impacts your race & season targets, so based on those you are sharing a lobby with you will be provided a target for the season and a target for each race that you have to get to improve your payouts. |
| Safety Rating | Your safety rating is a measure of how clean you are on track, Increasing by +1 (maximum 100 points) each time you complete a race without any penalties against you. For each penalty you receive your safety rating will go down by -7 points. | Your safety rating is listed on your profile, when team owners are scouting for drivers they will consider how clean your driving is before approaching you to join their team. |
| Reliability Rating | Reliability rating is a measure of how likely you are to turn up to races you sign up for. With lobbies of 14-16 drivers each, is vital we get majority attendance for most races to ensure the leagues sporting integrity. Much like safety rating you get +1 for each race you turn up and -7 points for each race you miss, with a maximum of 100 points. | If you keep your reliability rating about 90 points then you will be able to miss races for drop rounds and still get your full season payout. However if your rating is below 90 and you don’t complete a full season your season payout will be reduced. If your have less than 90 completing a full season will reset your rating back to 90. |
| License Level | Your license level is a measure of how many license tests you have passed at ZFS Racing. License tests are available to buy for the Marketplace, with in game challenges in GT7 you need to beat based on your ELO. Sending us proof of passing these tests will award you the next license | Licenses unlock additional cars for you to buy at ZFS Racing. Initially in lower license brackets your options will be fairly limited. But as you go up the ladder more will become available to you. |
