The Elo rating reflects the strength of the respective driver. Every new driver who registers on LFM starts with a rating of 1500. After every race on our platform in which the Elo calculation is active, a corresponding adjustment takes place depending on the final position. Over time, the Elo rating is adjusted to a value that corresponds to the real race pace of the driver. Furthermore, the Elo rating is used to divide the field into groups of approximately equal strength (so-called splits) if there are enough registered drivers, in order to ensure the most interesting racing experience possible.
