Implement a savegame feature as a red flag event, all cars must
enter the pits but not pit in their stalls. All cars must line up
behind the pace car at the end of pit lane (or wherever best
suits the AI processes). Save status of car position/place/status
in an editable TXT file. At resumption/restart of race, cars follow
the pace car like a full pace lap.
The biggest advantage of this method is to have all cars in a
static position in the pit lane, where the cars are not moving in a
dynamic mode.
A further advantage would be to enhance the realisim, as what
happened in the Rockingham race this year. A real-life save game!
