Race report

One thing that is important in auto racing is a “blue flag” is not a command flag. It’s an advisory flag to let the driver to know someone is faster behind you. It has never been ment to let the faster car pass you. But, and advisory blue flag can turn into a command flag if the slower car doesn't let the fast car go by after a couple of laps. But in real racing they could get black flagged.

I understand I’m new to Sim-racing, but not to racing as general. I feel if this is going to be “Simulating” Racing and is now tied into NASA. It’s is best to follow “real” racing rules (Even NASA rules). Which I'm happy that Tim is following. If we follow real racing rules, then the blue flag is an advisory flag only, and it’s best that the slower (or lapped) car stays online and it's up to the faster car to make a safe pass. It is good practice for us real racers.
