based on these levels i made up how good do you think you are
1 Noob (You still dont know what all the weapon icons are)
2 Novice(you know all the controls but cant see the point of side shift because you just cleared the HD campaign)
3 Competant (you race ok but cant understand why elites are beating you by 20+ seconds a race)
4 Skilled (you are starting to learn the secrets of the experts, side shift shortcuts and BR's
5 Highly skilled (you got transendance and your putting minor pressure on some elite players)
6 Dangerous (Elite have trouble with you.you win a few games and always come in close to them)
7 Elite (a master of the game no one owns you on the track apart from legendary players)
8 Legend (killer of elite and you stand out miles from other elites)
starting with myself i grade myself as really good level 5 highly skilled and on good days a crap level 6 dangerous
