Here are some advantages and problems a system like the one i suggested solves:
-SRS can add more servers. With the current system it would have to change the scoring system anyway.
-This system eliminates the need to "average" the races. Even though it would still be done most likely, the option not to is also valid.
-Points based on difficulty of the race. This would motivate drivers to re-race so that they can improve their score. Instead of winning a 6 man race against 0 point drivers and chilling at the top of the leaderboard.
-Benefits competitive secondary splits, specially the 4th server that for some reason the backmarkers don't get points .... wtf?
-With the current systems you get the same score for coming 6th against 6 new players of 24 "pro's". With my system you do not.
-The current system is made for "league type" racing, not for and elo system.
-Draws become practically impossible.
The main con i see is that this System will obviously only work with an accurate base score for each player, I have a 600+ score but if it was fair I should be 200/300 in 1000. However, the fact that it incentives for more people to race would mean that this decision would indirectly improve the base score of each player. Meh ?
I still though it was a dick measuring contest until i remembered the m1 competition this week ... since it has prizes i think this should be taken into consideration. I know its top 200 for the prizes and there are only 53 entries (LOL). But i still think its worth thinking about.
