You run Special Event 25, with 2X Prize Money Plugin, you gain 400,000 CR. By the formula (that has been checked and is known to be correct), this translates into 60 Ridge Racer Ranking Points. However, check your stats before the event and then again after, and your Ridge Racer Ranking Points have not changed.

The ranking position is not the issue, it's the Ranking Points that are not increasing when they should.

Yasdad,
Patience is all you need, that is what I used to think as well. I believe CR takes a little longer to update. Come back a couple of hours later and it should be correct.

Not sure what you mean. CR, OBP and FP are the 3 criterias for determining what your RR ranking is. I may have misread it, forgive me if I did. Also, are you online racing? What is your ID?

Thanks Jingo. But this has been a problem for 2 or 3 days now. Haven't checked today yet, though. Maybe when I get home..... who knows?

Also, I'll check some of the other racer's stats - see if I can make any more sense from it.

No problem, I was just talking separate rankings for OBP and FP, then with the overall RR ranking, in which those 3 together affect the overall ranking.

Well, after much head-scratching and calculator work, the answer has finally been found.

The rankings system will only allow a maximum of 15000 Ranking Points to be earned with CR. Once you break through the 100,000,000 barrier, that's it, CR is no longer affecting your ranking.

Many thanks to all, but expecially to tvrman, for your help in resolving this little puzzle.

Yep, it's FP all the way, with the occassional OBP just to level it off again.

I think you may be mixed up as CR, FP, and OBP comprise the Ridge Racer ranking. The Ridge Racer ranking is the the overall defacto ranking which determines who is a 6, 5, and 4 star.

I was just talking about how the OBP,FP,and CR make up the overall RR ranking for those whose a 4,5,6 star.. Example: To get at the top 100, you must have a good stable amount of FP, OBP and/or CR, sorry for the confusion.
