I was just on Single Seater 1 a couple of corners from 4th place and the other racers ended the race. Do I get any points for that?

No.

It completely sucks I know, I think I PMed Sam about this a while ago, as it happenned to me aswell.

The thing is, LFS can stop 'voting to restart', but not 'voting to end', after the race has finished for a certain period of time.

To me it's as bad as a mid race joiner taking you out on the last corner, but there is no mechanism in the reporting system to report "everyone else in the race". A waste of 10 minutes of my time because others are too impatient. I think I did a PB too. I was only that far behind because one of the other guys crashed me out and I had to make a pit stop Grrr.

I was behind cos I was slow (as always )

But yeah, is it even possible to stop people voting race end?

That would be great if it were possible. And on the same subject, on the rare occasion that the 27 lap Fern Bay Rallycross comes up (which I personally enjoy, but it seems not many others do), I never get to race it as everyone else votes to "end race" on the first grid, saying "if you want to race rally, go to a rally server". But I *like* racing rally cross within the CTRA environment.

Agreed. RX is still racing. You find that the ones who want to change the track tend to be the ones that are crap at RX - they're so selfish and don't let those who enjoy RX (like me) a chance to have a go.

Truth is if we didn't allow people to vote to end on an unpopular track, you'd stay on the same track but you'd be alone. If the majority of people that are racing want to change the track, that's what should happen. Unfortunate and disappointing for some, but fair for all.

If people are joining the track midrace in order to end the race, you should report them. Race interference by midrace joiners is a breach of the rules. That's a separate situation.

In this particular case there were no mid race joiners. The person driving the call to end race was the guy who crashed out and sent me off track, so probably a case of "this track is too hard for me". However in their defence, possibly, is the fact that once the race ends for you, you lose the map so you can't see if anyone else is still running.

Is it at all possible to prevent a user-requested race end for, say, 3 minutes after the winner crosses the line? This would also ensure that you always get at least one run (even on the rallyx). Some people might then do OK in that race and decide to stick with it, rather than automatically choose to refuse. After all without practice you won't improve. And also you don't lose all your points and PBs if you can make it to the finish within 3 minutes, when an end-race vote has started.
