Disclaimer
It is tough to have a rule for every thing that could occur during a race. For those things it is the officials discretion on how to handle those situations. We do not have Race control, and will be utilizing the iRacing default system already in place. However, if there happens to be an issue the Admin team will do it’s best to handle the situation.
