Often there are times when I can’t show up and race, that’s why I stopped racing the youtuber’s series now, because I don’t have much time in the evening to race and compete for the champ there

If you had a chance to win the championship by attending 5 out of 6 races would you be more likely to race in the series? If so, then you have proven that it would increase the number of participants.

I don't think it would be fair for someone to win a champ with five 102 compared to someone racing the whole 6 tracks and getting the best results overall of all the participants.

Well it might not be fair in your opinion but it would be within the rules therefore it would be fair. Some people think that when they get hit from behind it isn't fair that they get incident points, but they have to accept the points anyways because the rules say that its fair for everyone to do it that way.

I had a look at the historic results for the last series and it seems that of the 8 weekly series that were available, 4 of the series championships were won with only 5 races completed, 3 more weekly series would have had multiple champs if one race was dropped.
Now why is this already happening? I think its due to lack of participation in the latter weeks.

I could see how it would even lower participation as everyone would rule out the tracks they are less comfortable with in the series.

This is a good point however I think that even though you might lose some racers for one particular race but you would end up with more racers participating throughout the whole series.
