I've found a nifty little app that allows players to join sessions without the need to book in. It utilises the server entry system but without the need to manually input each individual player's name, GUID etc. I'd envisage this to be useful when hosting league/organised races that
can be set up with a password. It can be configured so that players can
only join during practice and qualifying but not let players join when
in race, much like Race 07. However there are some limitations to be aware of before getting all hyped up and going through the bother of installing it onto your PC.

Limitations:
- You can pick your car+skin only from free slots on the server, that the server has pre-selected to be available.
- When connecting the driver name sometimes does not change correctly....(possibly fixed since published)
- A race session never ends until all players disconnect.
- When a player disconnects his name remains assigned to the disconnected car....(possibly fixed since published, with 15 second countdown)
- On the server list the connected client counter does not work right (always shows zero)

Still interested?
OK here's how you get it.
Install Python for windows v3.0 or newer. You may already have Python installed if you use other mod apps but make sure it's at least v3.0
Download the app here

To install back up your 'Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\launcher\themes\default\modules\online' directory.
Then extract files from Freejoin archive to your AC directory (Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa).
When you go to online mode a new filter for "Freejoin" servers is available. When you select such a server you will see a list of available slots in place of the players list, select a slot named "[Free slot]" and click join to join to that slot.
Go to www.kegetys.fi/freejoin for updates.

I'd like to test this but unfortunately I won't be at my PC until some time on Saturday, so if someone wants to try it out and let me know how you get on it would be much appreciated.
I've configured server #3 to work with this for now just as a test till we get some feedback.
Thanks.
