Before I start planning an RP post I'd like to confirm all the drivers that retired on the same laps crashed into each other, just so I can make epic Terho emerging-from-clouds-of-carbon-fiber scenes.

Seriously. It's getting to the point that watching grass grow would be more entertaining and worthwhile.

I understand how you feel.
I DNF'd 60% of the races so far so I'm not shocked that I got another one. I'll see what RP I can scrape from this result.

Its all about setting expectations.
In the NS World Cup, a top RPing newcomer goes into the campaign with a hope of winning a few matches, earning some ranking points to establish themselves in the future.
Here, we all start 'equal' - We earn our spots in the field by RPing the first few weeks of competition so most of us are to some degree competent at RPing
So without Ranking to discriminate us from day 1 everyone's expectations can be at the same level and continue to be there relative to their level of RP. Perform Well. Challenge for Wins.
However, if we had team rankings and/or driver rankings in the future then maybe a driver on a new or backmarking team would have the expectation that a level of RP equal to the top contributor might get them challenging for points finishes and feel rewarded with that instead of demoralized because 9 players beat them.

In reality, F1 is a very unequal competition at the base level with teams starting from vastly different levels of competitiveness at the start of the season, but GP2 (now Formula 2) is literally intended to be equal across the board with all drivers using the same chassis so fits very well with the rankings-less model we have today.
In this model, a new nation with High RP might be able to have a driver leading the way in WGP2 but if they aren't on one of the top WGPC teams may have different expectations and may be fighting somewhere else in th pack.
The latter of your ideas is something that sorts itself out. I took a chance on some rando late-joining nation "aboveland" after most teams had already set their rosters during WGPC14. Now we have Terho Talvela. But there would be a lot that would have to go into to make it work and its not something that we're going to solve right now so why waste time debating it when you can be RPing

I'm not sure what the rules on being accepted into the RP generally are, like if I'm supposed to be part of a team before I really get into posting or not. I understand I need to RP a bit to even get a team's attention, but I'm not sure how much should be acceptable until I'm picked up or just told outright to go away. Also, yes, I tend to edit a few times before I'm done, usually it's to fix minor mistakes or prevent me from flooding/spamming.

You'll want to get started RPing right away with backstory on your character etc, what they are doing racing was, why they are late coming etc.
