They are an elaborate attempt to make people lose their goddam minds but really they are just a mysteriously established value assigned to people who have 1) been here a long time 2) finish relatively high in most races and 3) don't run into things they shouldn't.
In past seasons (long long ago) this value was used to prevent "less skilled drivers" from registering for particular series. But given points #1 and #2 above, even chuckleheads can register for these 300/400/700 rating required races... so they kind of fell out of favor.
What they really do?
Higher the number, the more likely you will be picked for the top splits in races with more than 23 drivers. Once people start earning championship points for a series, THAT value is weighted more heavily than your driver rating.
Oh, and once you are actually on a server, the drivers with the higher number are closer to the front of pit lane. Makes it easier to cheat during qualifying on tracks like Spa.
