So I'm relatively new to iRacing, so apologies if this is obvious.

This morning I did a race at Suzuka with only 5 drivers total. I started P2, won the race, and then later realised the race has completely disappeared from my stats. No iRating, no record, nothing.

I'm guessing it didn’t go “official” due to low participation?

What confused me is there was no indication beforehand that the race wouldn’t count. If I’d known, I probably would’ve joined a different session.

So just for future reference:

• What actually determines if a race goes official?
• Is there a minimum number of drivers?

Would appreciate any clarification so I don’t waste time in non-official races again.
