A couple of drivers I’ve tracked show very close to identical incidents per race for both 20 and 60 minute races.
That means if it were changed to incidents per hour, then someone who runs only 20 minute races would be expected to be 3x more dangerous than he really is when joining a 60 minute race, and vice-versa for a driver who only does 60 minute races.
Now, incident rating isn’t currently used for anything on SRS, but if it were then it needs to be a reliable metric that can be used to roughly predict drivers safety level, and that seems to be what the current method does, at least as far as counting inc/race anyways.
