Ideally the registration process would:

1) Allow the user to register from anywhere, not just the PC they actually have cars/tracks installed to. I realize that this is to help ward off people who do not have the required paid DLC or mods installed, but given the fact that it is relatively common to have the wrong VERSION of a mod installed, I don't see this being something to have as a sacred cow.

2) Allow the user to sign up to multiple events at once. Sort of "plan your race day". This would get the numbers up on races that are more likely to have a turn out and bring more eyes on particular races so that folks that have not yet "planned their race day" might shuffle their day around to attend a known popular race on the schedule.

3) Allow the user to sign up to multiple races of the same series at a time and be able to see all of the signed up races at once (rather than a single race taking over the registration page). Same reasoning as #2: get the numbers up well ahead of time to get more attention on races that are (likely) going to have a good turn out.

Yes, people can cancel right up to the 5 minute mark on any of these races, and yes, people might forget they signed up for a race and not show... but that's why there's rating penalties for not DNFs.

There's probably other reasons I haven't thought of why SRS (and most other systems like it) are not setup in the way I suggest above... but from what I've thought of, the pros outweigh the cons, especially in a platform that isn't exactly bursting with activity if only because it's main title (AC) is a bit long in the tooth.
