Does anybody know why a server can have more connections than there is spaces to race? This is something that i have wondered for a long time, and after joining a nearly full server earlier i was greeted with the message 'race full' every time i tried to join, which is quite annoying.

What is the point of it, if the max grid of a race is say 12 cars for example, why allow more connections than that??

Rotation? Spectating?

What he said.

Race Admins? Spectators? People can sit out a race without shrinking the numbers of racers.

Also if you have endurance race where you swap drivers there is room for the drivers that are not driving at the moment.
