I have seen a few people ask about the online advancement requirements, so here is what I've found so far.
For starters please note that this is a work in progress. I have also been up for way to long while I sit here and type this, so I'll have to get back to it when my eyes aren't burning craters into my temporal lobe.
Also note that I have excluded some levels. This is due to the fact that I had already reached that particular level and did not feel the need to figure out what XP was needed for a level I had already achieved. It is fair to say that the XP required for level 10 comes fairly soon. The gap between 10th and 25th however, requires a bit more patience.
Now what some people are asking is "how much XP do I get for a race?" While this should be pretty straight forward, it is not. Apparently Codemasters has decided to let us firgure it out on our own. Or perhaps they don't even know. I don't know too much either, but I can tell you that from what I've seen, the following conditions affect the amount of XP you can win for any given game mode:
Now how much each one of those items affects the XP awarded is beyond me. Here's a few scenarios that will tell you what XP was awarded. (Auto brake is always turned off.)
I'll try to get some more information and post it. Hope this helps someone somewhere.
