    Hi,

    Past Sunday, on our F1 championship race, there was a big crash at the end of lap 1 and SC came out. At that moment, there was a driver who had lost his front wing in a different crash. He drove slowly to pit and got a new nose. SC was only 3 laps out and in the last of these 3 laps, that driver hadn't caught the pack. Then the leader start receiving messages "Allow XXX to pass". That is, leader was supposed to allow being overtaken by another driver in the same lap and more than 1 minute behind. Green flag and then the leader was DQ. LuckyDog Rule is enabled on our server

    Now, we're analyzing what happened and the only explanation we find is when SC goes out and there's a driver going slow and taking a long time to cross the start / finish line is considered a lapped driver and then covered by the LuckyDog rule, so we can avoid this situation by disablig this rule. Are we right? Have you seen something similar in your races?

    Thanks in advance
