I'm there Shooter!!!
 
One thing i've just noticed with the new timed race feature, while we can now race a timed race instead of laps, the fuel counter/predictor is still the same, in laps/litres only, therefore it's now more complicated to calculate fuel loads for timed races.......

Haha #VelcroEffect.....Already patented!!!! ;) But yeah the timed races will be interesting it seems...........AI seem much better, still attacking, but no crazy moves or contact, just had a great race at Donington in the Ginetta GT4 with the AI, great stuff!! That car is cool BTW, we should race it more often! I'll stick up a vid in a moment to show.....

The race end timer is now a lot shorter with the new patch. There will be some people that will not be able to complete the final lap in most races.

Any ideas on a workaround for this? My idea is to add an extra lap to each race and just use it as a victory lap.

Victory lap I like it! Flashing lights , zig zags & donuts !

That's a good idea. The winner could announce they've finished both verbally and then by stopping at the end of the straight following the finish line. As others finish they form a stationary queue behind the winner. All can press the option button for the race order/fastest lap info and once everyone has crossed the line do a screen capture of the result. Then everyone can follow him/her home for the last lap at the winners desired pace for a victory lap. If everyone finishes in that order and keeps their car from exploding all is good with the results screen too along with in game podium stats etc.
Any close finishes where the drivers aren't sure of position can still be dealt with by reviewing the replay (if you're able to save the replay).

Of course it's not ideal and doesn't work in timed races but it's a workaround for now.

I suspect we'll have a better option soon as there have been a lot of complaints.

When running a timed race be warned. If using a grid start a false start will earn people an instant disqualification with penalties on. Either everyone is super careful and doesn't make a mistake, turn off pens (I do in our races anyway anyway) or use rolling start for starting a timed race.

Also below is another solution to the restricted race end timer from a bloke on the official site

We had the same idea yesterday but encountered some possible issues from an organizer point of view (e.g. two cars crossing the finish line very close to each other before the down lap) which makes checking the replay necessary. One can do that, but there is an other way to overcome the 75% timeout issue. Basically you put the additional lap at the beginning of the race....a classic out lap.

Pre-condition:
Your league racers are willing to start races using a self-imposed flying start (we do this anyway as we have qualifying sessions during the week to determine which racer is participating in which lobby and taking which place in the grid; so we have to sort ourselves into the correct starting position somehow anyway; as pCars does not offer any option to do that, we needed to find a solution for that)

Solution:
- Start the online race session with all cars in the grid
- Do an out lap and do it fairly slow (we run 80-120 kmh but will reduce that if needed)
- Define a suitable starting procedure (we use the moment when the pole car accelerates; it can do so shortly before crossing the start/finish line at the end of the out lap)
- Race until all cars get the checkered flag; the final standings page shows all necessary infos as expected

What you get is a slowest time of ca. 3 minutes in Brno for example. 75% of that is ca 135 seconds, which is enough for every one to finish the race before the timer runs out.

You can manipulate the race end timer by altering the out lap speed/time.
