Frustrating wait between races

I'm loving the daily races but the wait between races is frustrating as hell. I know other days are not so long but it's stupid how long you have to wait between some of them. I don't get much game time and I'm sitting here waiting around thinking I might go and play something else but I don't want to become I love the online races. Just a rant I needed to get out.
 
I've started using that time in between to take some scapes shots, create a new livery, and try to complete a mission challenge or circuit experience challenge. I'm not sure if you've completed all the other stuff already or not, but its a good time to do a whole bunch of other things.

However I do agree, sometimes you want to get right back in to the next race a few mins later, but the wait in between the races could be like 15mins
 
I find if you are doing 2 races you have very little downtime.

One make race and the Group 4 race alternating is quite simple and doesn't require too much effort to get a decent lap time for qualify.

It's not so bad, iPad on the side and use that between races to check the interwebs. I hope you made this forum post while waiting between races as well. :)

But to be honest I kinda like it, it gives you some time to rest between races and it also makes you concentrate on the races a bit more. If it's just roll-on roll-off like in Forza then people won't care about their race and just quit and join the next one if their turn 1 was not satisfying.
 
I like to focus on one daily race to perfect it. So the wait time is definitely a burdon to me as well. I’ve completed the campaign with 100% gold and not much for me to do inbetween races... Also cut out the 2 min warmup once the lobby is set... we’ve just finished running qualifying laps for the past 6-15 min depending on when we jumped in, so the last thing we want to do is run a meaningless lap when we could be racing!
 
Yes its strange how they had the Gr3 races twice in an hour recently but the last 2 or 3 days its gone back to 1 per hour, there were definitely enough racers to fill the grid and keeping them at 20 racers seems bizarre too when they could easily be 24. I still think there needs to be more races at a time, not just more frequency of each race but more variety of races in total. Like today's selection is very bland, an oval, one make on Kyoto (a track that's been done to death) and another Gr3 on Dragon Trail. Would be nice to see Nordschleife Gr3 for 4-5 laps or so or a long Gr1 race.
