Blue Flag on last lap? What to do?!

I think I've even been on some servers that have wacky Blue Flag penalty modification.... not sure that would be a good fit for SRS, however.

That said, back markers aren't always 10-15 slower than race pace... sometimes they get taken out in lap 1 with some minor damage and either are just slow from then on, or end up having to pit for repairs. In these cases it is going to be more likely that the front runners are going to have to pass someone going nearly their speed when the time comes, and that's when this discussion really takes place. If someone is actually 10-15 seconds slower than someone lapping them, then of course they should let them pass at the earliest opportunity.

I ve seen some servers having an auto kick for blue flags, but not quite sure how it works and it's maybe a bit too extreme. Of course yes it's not always because people are that slow, but i can tell you it's also very frustrating when the race results completely changed because someone didn't look in his mirror on the last lap. If you remember the C7R race on VIR, we were kidding about it at the end, but we were all in the same second or so for 20 minutes, then comes a guy driving out of the pits for instance, just in front of us 3 taking T1 like a grandma in the middle of the road and it's a carnage... i could cite dozens of examples where the race was decided by backmarkers rather than anything else.
