Congrats to our new #1! Joito04! First time out and he snags the coveted #1 ranked driver! Well done! THis is highly unusual! It has rarely if ever happened before. Beginners luck perhaps? Or will Joito be able to keep it?

Re: FM6 Computer Ratings
Well, as expected I suppose, it was a short lived rise to the top for Joito, but he shows great promise for regaining the #1 spot again in the future.
Welcome back to the top spot
Welcome back to the top spot

Re: FM6 Computer Ratings
Updated! As you can see we have added nearly 200 drivers to the world rankings from a select number of events from SimR, TORA, TURN, and the recent Forza Championship events.
There are many names we couldn't or didn't include, but it is a matter of limited man hours to collect the data and not out of disrespect. We hope to eventually include every active league racer we can.
Please bear in mind that any driver with less than 10 rated races does not have enough races for their rating to stabilize. Typically it takes 10-15 clean races for the rating to stabilize and level off. This means 10-15 races without a lag out or crash. Even so, on average the computer will roughly place you in the correct skill section. Note that we have added a new skill section for the highest rated/ranked drivers called, "Alien." This is reserved for the few exceptional drivers who have broken the 2900 barrier. We will add yet another skill section beyond "Alien" for those who may reach the magical 3000s.
For now, we congratulate "Seven" as being the provisional #1 driver in all of Forza 6! We expect this to change after the Forza Championship finals are completed.
If any of you are currently in a series that hasn't been rated, feel free to let us know or post your results here on the IFCA.

Re: FM6 Computer Ratings
updated, and congrats to the new #1 CAR b0x! Somewhat unexpected since he did not win the ForzaRC, but he did do well, very well it turns out. Anyone with less than 15 rated races is considered provisional however.

new scale updated
Here at the IFCA we continue to try to improve and define console simulation racing and the skill level it takes to rise to the top, by calculating, categorizing, and then documenting your performances. We do this through a rating's formula based on that of the Elo system which is used in many sports including our cousins over at iRacing. The original system was invented for the game of all games, Chess, as a means of defining individual chess strength between the weakest and strongest players. It is a tried and true method that can pinpoint your relative skill level compared to everyone else. The only real difference is the scale that is used to define what is the weakest and what is the strongest numeric rating.
Recently we decided we wanted the ratings to more closely resemble the scale of international chess ratings as much as possible. This allows us to keep ratings inflation under control (an inherent concern in the formula) and spread the different skill levels more equally apart. As a result, you will notice that your rating has changed in order to mirror that of FIDE or USCF chess ratings, but your numeric ranking has not. In addition, we re-titled each skill level at 200 point increments. So while your rating has been comparatively adjusted downwards in most cases, your rank has stayed the same, but your skill level title may have changed depending on where you fall within each 200 point sector.
We also updated the IFCA formula itself so that it is more linear with a steeper curve, meaning that those at the top are prone to less volatile ratings changes than those at the bottom. The higher your rating the less your rating can change, while the lower your rating the more it can change.
We also recognize 2 extremely high skill levels that are unique to the IFCA and not a part of chess. "Alien" (2800-3000) and "Legend" (3001+). All other skill levels mirror the accepted levels in the USCF and FIDE. To date no one has broken through to the 3000s, so we have no Legends, yet. It would require several "Alien" level drivers to compete against each other to reach the unprecedented "Legend" skill level.
Many have asked, "How do I get on the list? Or, How did I get on the list? Any organized race with public results can be rated. You can post the results here on the IFCA, or send us a link to the results. To date all of our ratings have come from racing events in TORA, DMR, IFCA, ELS, TURN, and a host of smaller club events.
The new IFCA ratings scale
3001+ Legend
2800 - 3000 Alien
2600 - 2799 Grand Master
2400 - 2599 International Master
2200 - 2399 Master
2000 - 2199 Expert
1800 - 1999 A-Class
1600 - 1799 B-Class
1400 - 1599 C-Class
1200 - 1399 D-Class

Re: FM6 Computer Ratings
b0x under performing with 3 second place finishes in a row against a slightly weak field, his rating dropped from 1st to 3rd, allowing Laige to assume the #1 driver slot in the world, and Lightening to move to #2.

Re: FM6 Computer Ratings
Congrats to Lightening! He didn't win the Forza Championship and placed 2nd for the second time, but, he did manage to inherit the #1 spot on the IFCA computer World Rankings list thanks to Laige under performing in the 3rd race at Laguna Seca.
