Hi guys new here
I registered via the in game portal but press Join. I did a few laps in Practise session. Went to Qualifying but nobody was there.
SO, then i went to public lobby and another server was there saying 22/24 drivers in Practise session. 
Any advice?

Sounds like you got disconnected from the server. Just reconnect, like you did.

[Roman Smirnov]

What race? If there are many participants, they get divided into splits based on points.

[Martin Smith]

Oh yeah ^^^

If a track can fit 23 racers but 24 sign up then the lowest rated guy will be split into a race on his own.

[Scott Warner]

i believe they try and make the splits so there are at least 5 people in the bottom...at least this has been the experience of 2O4F members

[Martin Smith]

Keep in mind that some tracks have fewer than 24 pit boxes. So in some cases you can get 24 people sign up and 5 will end up in the second server.

I don't think the splits are that "smart"... I think it fills server 1 all the way along with the SRSTV client, then puts everyone else on the next server until IT fills up, and so on. I've been on server 2 with only 2 other drivers before.

Yeah, clicking around in the Estonia races that had multiple servers, I found this example: https://www.simracingsystem.com/raceresu...oZbm1dI%3D

The server 1 for that race had 23 drivers. So it is entirely possible that if you are driver #24 (for a circuit with 24 pit lanes) then you will be all alone on a server and get a free 80 champ points for your troubles (so long as you don't hit any walls).

[Scott Warner]

you fellas are probably right, perhaps it was a track with less than 24 pit boxes but I swear we have had people end up with like 5 in the 2nd split when 24 or 25 drivers registered...or perhaps the counter was not updated before we joined the race...
