ELO Ranking
The Forza Motorsport ELO ranking system is based on a chess rating system
developed by Arpad Elo for the United States Chess Federation. An ELO ranking system
factors such variables as a player’s rating, the probability of a win for each player,
and the effects of win or loss on a player’s rating.
