I agree with Laszlo, one thing i ve learned around here, you can never assume it's going to be a walk in the park based on rating or the number of drivers registered. I had very difficult races with few people and what would be calculated as a low SOF in this sytem, because some didn't have the rating they deserved, yet, since they didn't have enough races, or they are simply new on SRS (but clearly not to simracing). And sometimes much "easier" wins in split 1 full of 700 rating, for the front runners that system just brings a random element to their results, but yea it's a bit more problematic for some who can get like +90 points while being very far from say the top 3 (although that does even happen in +90 drivers' races), but i don't think anybody is trying to only get in the less populated races like that on purpose.

iRacing deals with this i think, by giving everybody something like a 2500 rating to begin with off the top of my head, then modulate it from there, but here you need quite a few races to start having a rating that somehow translates you actual level, i would say at least 50 starts, except if you win pretty much any race you registered for.
