2 things you didn't thought about yet are:
POINT 1:
I was thinking and... how are the races set up? I mean, is everyone racing at the same time? Or are the races 1 by 1... (that would take to much time in my eyes).
I think it's the best to make each group (of 4 members) race against eachother at the same time... so we have 2 races at 1 time, 1 vs. 1.. when everyone races against everyone we have winner and loser of the group.. Or maybe we can do it with 2 groups(1 from the left and 1 from the right part of your schedule). Or every group at the same time? (at that point we don't have any admins to watch people if cheating, but I think people won't cheat cause we use honoust players that play weekly..)
I think it's oke to make some extra races... but the one who makes the races would have an advantage... So: or let people train at the chosen races a week before the tournament starts... or make someone make races who doesn't participate in them himself...(I wonder who wanna do that xD)
POINT 2:
Oh and btw, we also need to fill up the groups... how we gonna do that? Like a grand slam in tennis? With 16 or 32 best-racers, divided over the 16 groups.... so we have 2 nominated people... or 1.... (depends if we make 32 or 16 nominees) and put each of them in 1 group, other racers get in groups by random... Or maybe that's not fair enough and we need to make "groups" like the UEFA -CUP group-fase... That will be like: the best 16 racers(nr. 1-16) in group 1, but they can't get in the same group. Then we have 16 racers(nr. 17-32) in group 2.. and the next 16 racers(nr. 33-48) in group 3 and the last 16 racers..(nr49-64) in group 4.
THen we put everyone from group 1 in each group.... Then we put everyone from group 2 in a group... Then everyone from group 3 and at last everyone from group4.. In this case we have honoust groups... So we don't get a group like: Ush, Andy, devil, Michal... or something.. cuz we would lose 2 great racers cause the group mechanism doesn't work well... and 2 other noobs racers in a more noob group get in the KO fase...
Oh, we should make list of the HS-list today so we make sure everyone who participates gets in the right group... and people not on the list can also participate... but they need to be lucky people in the HS-list don't wanna participate or can't participate..
I think my idea of the "UEFA-CUP" system is quiet good.. the "grandslam" tennis idea is ok, but not perfect...
1. Once the groups are sorted, moo or I will make a section within this one for each group and I'll make a post concerning
each match up. There we will discuss times suitable so that both drivers can make it. We'll try to make each group finish their first
match up before the second starts. Maybe a few groups doing completing their first match ups per day.
2. This is what the 16 seeds are for. Each of the top 16 will go into one of the 16 groups (labelled A to P) on their own. Then, the
rest of the competitors will be placed randomly to fill the groups.
