The Fruit Bowl (TFB) is an Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) community with the aim to provide a beginner friendly, casual sim-racing environment.
The purpose of TFB is to provide a mechanism to review race data, skill progression, and identify points for improvement. This can be achieved by comparing personal lap or sector times against the current leaderboard to identify where time may be gained.
The Fruit Bowl also implements a proprietary driver class and driver rating system to introduce competitiveness. After all, what is racing without a competition?
TFB started as a small project over the 2021 end-of-year break and is still in development. As time progresses, more features will be added. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please send it my way through the Discord community; I'd love to hear it.
The class system is calculated off a drivers win rate and podium rate in any race event that had 5 or more participants. The sum of the win rate and podium rate forms the drivers class value. A minimum of 10 events meeting the criteria must be completed prior to receiving a class.
Note: The win rate and podium rate shown on the driver profile includes events with less than 5 participants.
There are 3 main things factored into the calculation.
This means that providing you place equal or higher than where the algorithm expects you to place, your rating will increase. The more people you are competing against, the larger the resulting change will be.
The strike system is used as a penalty points sytem against individual drivers. Strikes are awarded by the stewards and discretion is used when determining how many strikes a player will receive. Strikes will not normally be awarded for minor or accidental incidents. The intended use is to combat trolls, retaliation ramming, and reckless driving.
If a player receives 10 strikes, they will no longer be able to connect to any Fruit Bowl server. If a player wishes to contest this, they are welcome to open a support ticket in the Discord.
If a player has 1 or more strikes, an alert will show on the drivers profile.
