Pit Number and Race Length
I got to thinking and it would be nice if you could set race length in time. So let's say I wanted to run a 55 minute Black would race, not by the number of laps. That wasn't a qualifying.

Also got me thinking how some have said about short races being boring if there was a way for the admin to mandate pit stops, like now but also the number of pits required so you are not disqualified. (Just a example) like I want 15 lap race, yet I want 2 pits stops required just to spice things up.
Hi,

Nice to see you again (we were at Westhill last night).

You can already set races for specific time, it can be set in the pre race lobby to a minimum of 1 hour, but perhaps admins can vary this with greater flexibility??

I like the multi pitstop idea. I would also like the ability to specify pit windows which would stop everyone pitting on lap 1 as there is no damage to fix such a short time into the race.
Yep, that was me. I was on a good flier lap when I lost connection to the server, when I got back it wasn't up.

Yeah I noticed you can set race length for a hour or two. Was wondering about making it more flexible being more specific maybe 1 hour 25 minutes. Or 35 minute race etc.

Yeah like maybe I set race to 25 laps, but I want 3 pit stops everyone has to take. but your first pit stop cannot be until lap 6 or so. If you pit before then you get a Disqualification.

Not good. What if you get into the T1 tumble? Then you have to drive a wreck and endanger everybodys race for almost a whole 6 laps before you can pit. It should be that you can pit anytime you like but have to make a certain amount of pitstops after a certain amount of laps.

Just like STCC 7.

Or you do the sensible thing, retire and spectate the rest of the race, just like a real driver would have to if the damage was too severe. This kind of thing may help to discourage that kind of T1 tumble.
