Not necessarily, you could apply as a Silver and they would review it case by case, but being Gold makes the entry easier.

It should be used as it is imo, up and coming drivers passing through the ranks as being silver opens more doors for them to compete. Once they prove themselves quick enough then the gold should be next.
It's obviously dependant on the series and the drivers goals, but being a Silver certainly opens more opportunities overall and if you're good it can help a team gain an advantage (Laurent in WEC for example).
