after lap, maintaining your focus, not dumping it in the weeds, and hopefully maybe
even racing well enough to gain time or positions, all this appeals to me immensly.
I doubt if you'll see it happen often with pick-up races on VROC though. I believe
races like this would have to be scheduled events, so the players can plan the time
in advance. JMHO.
