Thanks, that's quite hidden even for me to find under "- New AC Series coming June 18 !!".

Great but what lengths are the other races and qualifications? Again doesn't say either.

If it isn't 1 hour, it's 20 minutes. This falls under "arcane knowledge", so this could be listed explicitly as well.

Tire Usage: 100% // Mech Failures: 1? 1 = enabled but I think it's only 60%

I think Mechanical Failures is different than damage percentage, isn't it? Pretty sure everything is 60% except for Simpit series.

20mins are high traffic, glorified qualifying sessions and if you get caught in a wreckfest then you don't have enough time to fight back.

Yes. The problem also is why bother driving a 10+20min race when you can go online on KMR enabled servers that have more strict and automatic rules with admin often online that runs 10+15-20min races and you can do 6 of those in a row no problem.

With a single 10+20min... is it even worth bothering setting up your wheel, pedals and car setup?

Are these servers online all the time? Do they have races early mornings or primetime for NA time zones? Do they have 20+ drivers every race? Can the majority of the drivers in these races actually do 10+ clean laps in a row? Can people automatically download and see your custom livery?

For SRS races the answer to all of these is yes. My guess is that most of those are a no for these servers of which you speak.

As far as bothering to doing wheel/pedals and car setup... it takes me about 30 seconds to set up my wheel/pedals... if it isn't already setup. And as far a car setups, yeah I pretty much don't like bothering. If it's a fixed series, no sweat. If it's open, I typically grab something from thesetupmarket and make some tweaks. If nothing is available, I spend 30-60 minutes on it and then just put together some consistent laps before racing.

In other words: SRS 20 minute races do a good job catering to drivers like myself that take racing mostly seriously, but also don't want to spend more than maybe 1 hour TOTAL on a particular race, per day.
