Hi, I think we need two things in RaceRoom ranked racing. One is open practice sessions with other human pilots. This is very useful to understand your level of competitivity and value your times. And this is very ease to set up. No need of any development. Other is to have some more options than daily independent races. Should be a scheduling and regular championships by classes were you can have more continuity and a known calendar to plan and train. We already have with RaceRoom a much better sim than iR and others, but we need to have a better competition organization, where iR is far away.
This kind of thing is likely to come in the future. Championships and sign up races have been mentioned already by the devs. The UI and backend to enable all of this is still in development I believe.
