Again... forum user to SRS member ratio is probably waaay on the small side. At least it certainly seems that way on the track most races. Hell, most people probably start up Assetto Corsa (not even Content Manager!), click on the SRS tab, find the next race, and register. They read none of it. They don't open this site in a browser, they don't look at (or even know about) Shoutbox or the Discord server. They just installed the SRS app, and click through to race. That's it.

I don't have any actual numbers to back this up, but I bet those numbers exist! And until everyone on a server behaves perfectly, understands how to qualify like a sane person, doesn't wreck into folks after the finish line, and only registers if they can do 10+ clean laps with the current car/track combo, I'm going to stand by my hypothesis that we here on the forums are what you call a "vocal minority" that are just talking into our own little echo chamber.

well yeh, so my only point is some very basic hints and promotion would help....i never bothered looking at these forums myself - firstly, the fact that its not even a separate heading at the top, but under 'SUPPORT' (?). Secondly - take that Chevrette ARC championship that was running a few weeks back - i checked it out on the downloads, saw it was a paymod, and thought 'oh i cba with that'. ..... its only when i started using these forums recently to post my videos that i noticed SRS had a code to purchase that mod on discount!    They really don't help their own cause - they could have had a little infographic in the championship box saying 'DISCOUNT CODE ON FORUM' or something.....
The fact that there's actually some people playing assetto corsa on SRS is great, i'm sure if the Forum was correctly 'advertised' on the site itself it would do a lot better.

Yup. The forum is nice but the conversation part of it is just for us nerds and probably will always be just for us nerds. Everybody else only ends up here when they have a problem.

At iRacing it's not that different, in my opinion. It's just that for some series you have to check the forum so you know when the races are. That's not necessary here.

Oh believe me, as someone who as immersed myself in the iracing world the past 2 months, i can tell you its All nerds.   
They've become a critical part of each of the current series they run now, each car has its own race thread with a naming convention and a load of info about the series - number of laps, fuel, laptime targets etc... admiteddly it doesn't seem to help as the average skill levels/field spreads/race accidents are the same as on here to be honest.
