Studio 397's competitive sim-racing title will introduce a new ranking system launching July 28 that allows players to exclude one race result from their record every ten races. This feature is exclusively available to subscribers paying $8 monthly for the "Pro" membership tier. Non-subscribers must accept all results, whether caused by accidents, technical failures, or performance, while paid members can selectively remove their worst performances from the rankings that determine matchmaking and competitive positioning.

The feature has generated substantial community opposition, with players arguing it creates competitive advantages and safety concerns. Critics highlight that paid subscribers can strategically delete poor performances to artificially improve their rankings, while potentially avoiding penalties for aggressive driving behaviour. The controversy reflects ongoing industry discussions about the boundaries between monetisation and competitive fairness, particularly in games where rankings affect player matching and reputation.
