Indeed there does not seem to be any real penalties on SRS that would downgrade and potentially remove wreckers. With KMR server app it's not overly successful either but that's because of how it is setup for losing and gaining "safety" rating. The loss of points from contacts pretty much does not seem to matter to 50% of starting field and they do what ever they want and do not try to avoid contacts.
You can often see that there are people finishing say 5th that get more championship points than a person finishing 2nd, all due to contacts.
The protest form is time consuming with results taking a lot of time if they give any penalty from it at all. And it's no wonder if it's a one poor person processing all these protests in their free time.
That's why a sophisticated automated system is a better solution to dealing with wreckers, bumpers, etc. The rules to make it work are fairly simple.
The SRS rating also does not seem to be a safety rating, more of an overall performance rating, making it kind of useless to try and limit series by this rating to make it safer.
On Spa with DTM there can also be the problem of some people doing 180km/h in Eau Rouge instead of 200km/h, not sure it happens on SRS but it does on public KMR servers. Sometime people go stupidly slow, sometimes stupidly fast and fly out in corners.
