this has been explained before...

Racing is with full grids starting server1.

Server splits work like a ladder.  Newcomers or Drivers with lower rating need to climb more and will start at the bottom, which sometimes means a split with few drivers. They do their race and next race they climb for the upper server and others will go down.

if there are wreckers protest them.

Racing against 10 or 15 is simply boring, and by doing that the slowest / rookies will never learn anything, you learn by racing with someone better and faster than you.

Here's the problem I'm having. I was just in the SimRacing NC 917 race at Silverstone 67 and while there were 47+ people, I was stuck in a split with only FOUR. I considered my options carefully and because this race did not count as an official race for any stats or points, I parked it after 1 lap. I'll take any consequence SRS deems necessary by doing this, but when you show up to race for points and stats and then are given no chance to do so, what would you do? This is the second race in a row where I have been in a field under that number of 6 and it's really frustrating. I'll give SRS the benefit of the doubt in that the other race had a lack of participation, but how are you supposed to gain in points and stats when 2 out of the 3 races you have run were deemed unofficial? I sincerely hope that SRS figures out a way to ensure that everyone is eligible for points and stats in 40-50 car fields because right now it is very discouraging for someone experienced in online sim racing who is trying to make his way up in the system.
