i'm not sure about the proposed format.
i'd prefere to see all the quick guys in one pool battling it out.
why not split drivers into 2 servers randomly, then run qualigying on each server. after that the 17 quickest drivers out of the 2 servers go to Pool 1 and the next 17 go to Pool 2.
Points
1st place in Pool 1 = 40
2nd place in Pool 1 = 38
...
...
...
16th place in Pool 1 = 23
17th place in Pool 1 = 22
1st place in Pool 2 = 25
2nd place in Pool 2 = 23
3rd place in Pool 2 = 22
...
...
...
17th place in Pool 2 = 7
Or at least something like that.
So each round you'd do the same thing. Run Quali before the race on 2 servers with random drivers in each server.
One week you might qualify 15th and be in Pool 1 but the next week you might qualify 20th and bee in Pool 2, but it's all still one championship we're fighting for.
Just an idea, what u think?
