From my experience 2 seconds difference on laptime make a race. And for now peeps slower than 2 seconds from the fastest ones just leave the servers (I am usually 3 seconds slower :tilt, and sometimes online play at all.
So I got an idea for meeting room that connects ppl with similar PBs. Every one can check-in checkboxes for wanted combos and can observe how many ppl of similar PB are willing to race at that combo. Then 1 click "lets race" and those ppl got LFSW message: "[Player] proposed a race at [track],[cars], people willing to join (number)". Then in meeting room they can agree on what server it can occur - there are plenty of empty servers.
This message could be displayed (and disabled) on servers also, so if you race somewhere you will get this message also.
That could make pick-up races much more popular, and I think there are many long time LFSers that would rather race occasionally than in regular leagues.
