So the race is determined by the lead rider. Its done 70% of the race. The race is declared. All good. Easy to under stand.
Problem is.... Maybe its Formula 3 and Pro Twin. Mr F3 leader crosses the line for 7th lap and red flag goes out. Mr Pro Twin leader only on 6th lap so Pro Twin have only done 60% of the race.
Do Pro Twin just restart? Most of the time, specially club days its a mixed grid, what happens to the grid positions?
C. If 65% or more of the race distance is completed:
a. This shall be declared a full race,
b. The finishing order shall be at end of the last full lap completed by the lead rider before the stopping of the race,
c. Full points will be awarded.
The lead rider on track is the lead rider. If a race is declared then it's declared for the entire field, not for the individual classes.
