Russell painted a perfect picture with whats going on in SRS. I think there is nothing more to add.
Regarding the iRacing topic: I think you cannot compare both leagues, simply because iRacing was created to be an online Sim Racing Client and Assetto Corsa not. Let's not forget that SRS was implemented by a third party to enable "good" online racing, since - let's be real - AC's native online mode is straight garbage (useless UI, no option to create servers on the fly for some quick, fun races with friends etc).
Another point is that iRacing is MASSIVELY expensive to an extend that I ask myself: will it ever be worth it for me personally? I think not. And it's not like in SRS that you can jump straight into a GT3 race (or some "higher" class cars). So in addition to paying you also have to grind the game until you reach your desired racing series (as long as you don't want to drive a Skippy all your life). Therefore people that use iRacing have a "deeper" connection to their Sim Racing hobby as people on SRS.
