It is frustrating when that happens Dave, but it also happens in RL, at least we don't have random mechanical failures.
This is also what the reporting tool is for. I have to say I have a quite low threshold of when to report as I think it is the only way for people to learn how to race.

I am glad to hear that the admins are adjusting this rule. I've had a few races with hit & quit drivers, the ones that start as if the race would last one lap (especially dumb in 1 hr races), hit me making me spin and sending me to the bottom of the grid to then just quit. In my experience there seems to be a pattern to those behaviours. I am happy to know that those drivers are getting no reward for that.
Sure technical failures can be a problem, I've had that too, but those should be just occasional.
You lost the engine?! Wow, must have been a hell of a crash! I've only had my engine blown once in over 400 SRS races and it was due to over downshifting.
