Also calling the saftey car on last lap was not cool.

Yeah, the rules quite clearly (in red) prohibits a safety car call on the last two laps.

I spoke to Adam about this post race and given the alternative was allowing the rest of the field to pile into a potentially blocked track I agreed that given the circumstances and driving standards displayed he made the correct call.
The rule mentioned above really was set up more for open circuits where run off would mean the chances of the track being blocked is minimal. Regardless of the disappointment some may show at not being able to race for the final two laps this had to be balanced with the need to have an open circuit on which to race. As that was apparently not the case calling an SC was - in my opinion - correct.

Ok, that sounds fair.

True but we encountered 1 car which could have cause harm but as most of us did a let off and slowed.

A yellow would have been awsome.

I literally just took the lead too as it was called.

Nova i called it as we were coming out of the hairpin but because so much talking going on you couldnt hear me i guess

Anyone from lobby 3 shared races 1 and 2? I shared Race 3.

Race 1 seemed ideal no one cashed out was good racing.
But it took so much out of some drivers that races 2 and 3 the field failed to make it past turn 1 with restarts.
As it descended from there with contact somewhere every lap cars spun and backward over the tack expect SI.

Good calling on Cautions guys.

There should only ever be a max of THREE restarts. Where drivers are still involved in issues after this point they must pit.
If this is on the first lap (i.e the warm up lap) they are allowed to overtake the pack and enter the pits. Upon completion of their pitstop they MUST stop at pit out and allow the pack to pass before continuing their race.
Effectively starting from pitlane.

Where more than one car is in the pits they MUST form a queue at pit exit in the order they are released from the pits.

You requested a number about a month ago, but didn't actually sign up to a series. TORA has many series running concurrently so drivers first request a racing number and then sign up for an open series.
