In the last Audi-TT-Race, theĀ participants have been distributed very strange:
Server 1 - 23
Server 2 - 23
Server 3 - 4
I don't know, how this exactly is handled by SRS, but would't it be better,
if the distribution would look like this?:
Server 1 - 23
Server 2 - 17
Server 3 - 10
or
Server 1 - 19
Server 2 - 17
Server 3 - 14
What do u think or know about that?
Regards
Pierre

The way servers on SRS work is that they fill server 1 then server 2 and so on.
In the first race of the series places are entirely based on rating. Further races are based on championship placing and rating.

Tim, yes, this is how it works in SRS but I think he suggests that it should be changed to more or less even distribution. iRacing does that, I just looked at a random race with 160 participants, splits 1-6 had 12 cars each, splits 7-14 had 11 cars each. (This was on a smaller track this why the number of cars per track was small)

Agree. Either of those ways of splitting up the servers would be much better.
Amazing list of awesome achievements: 5th Lotus 25 2018, 4th DRM 2019, 5th Williams FW14 vs. Ferrari 643 2019, 3rd Ferrari 312T vs. Lotus 72D 2020

I would also like to see the splits get more even amount of people.
In addition to that, could the racers top lap time be of any factor in determining what split he/she ends up in? for example I have done two AC MX-5 races in Brands Hatch. In the first one I ended up in second split because of my low rating, and it was a good race, people driving at the same pace as me. The second race, It split three ways, but I ended up in top split, I assume because I had done one race already. The top guys are 3s a lap faster than me. The top of the second split were filled with guys with higher rating, some going over 2s faster than me. Surely I would have been better suited for split 2 or 3.
What I'm saying is, I think my slow lap times in the first race should have pulled me down, rather than my huge experience gained by driving one race pulling me up.

Nobody would be happy if they raced in all the races of a series, to find out that in the last race they get bumped to the 2nd server, just because the car/track combination is popular and a bunch of higher rated drivers jumped in to have a "fun race."

Exactly. But this is also a separate issue from Pierre's original point, which I think is still a valid concern.
