It is no longer possible to join the B&J server after the second lap has started, so it's like the other servers in reverse, effectively, and you are not charged points for attempting to join even with passengers now, the only exception is joining an AI - you still get charged and kicked for that. Not that they work on B&J, but its the principle of the thing!
