It knows you are signed up for a race with less than 5 mins to go.  As long as you start a single player session with same car and track as the SRS race you are about to participate in.

Ah, okay so it is the fact that I'm always on a different server. For the SIMPIT races, someone was nice enough to set up a practice server for people to hop on during the week leading up to the races, and many of us hang out there until right before the race most weeks. Cool. Thanks for the info!
