That's the thing, there is no rule about it either way and I have 99% of the time referred to the game (just like the game polices itself when it comes to extending track limits on road course, I don't overturn those either). The one time in the past year plus that I have been doing this, we has one instance in the K&N where we threw a manual caution when we had 2 different wrecks in close proximity of each other, the last one with multiple drivers spinning out completely. Other than that, it has always been on the game.
There has been other instances of the game not throwing yellows for cars getting totaled at different tracks, and times where a car is not even 90 degrees and throws it immediately when it shouldn't have been.
Looking back at it, I agree it should have been thrown now. When I heard JR said he was parked sideways on the track, I didn't realize he had already gone around twice, there was a lot of talking going on and I missed that info. I was in shock that whole turn of events happened, I clearly should have seen him go around the first time on my screen, but I was more focused on saving my ride. You wanna talk about 2 admins in the race, exactly, we were racing. Making those kind of judgement calls with no personal bias, with all the commotion going on. in a split moment is a lot to ask. I know you are pissed your night got ruined, how do you think I felt putzing around for 40 mins being the only admin person left to make sure there was no other issues. I would have loved to go watch Thrones.
This is something we can all discuss in the league moving forward, but whatever we decide is going to go into effect for all races, not just plate races.
