I would like to point out laps 100-102 I was forced to go to the back of the grid, checked replay and I was right, the admins misunderstood the situation.

You got the free pass - usually we do this AFTER the pitstops, putting you to the back. But instead this race we just gave the free pass but then put you to the back.

Maybe I am misunderstanding something - I was not lapped I just stopped because I thought I was. I had not parked on the grid, I was in front of it - so not lapped. When I finally realized I was not lapped I drove to my spot, when pit was called chose not to pit was 3.rd on grid and was told to move to the back.

Had I been lapped I would understand the free pass thingy, but the way I get it I should not have been moved to the back?

Just to clarify - if I am right I do not expect you to do anything about it, my fault for not being sure etc. and at the time I just wanted to get on with it it was like 2 am. All I want to know is if I am right or not.

Right, any car that gets a lap back does not get to advance positions in the grid.

If you are 10th place one lap down, you will restart 10th on the lead lap. In reality Shyguy is right, the free passes should occur after pitstops to avoid confusion. We will do that from now on. Sorry about the confusion. I saw you in 4th place after getting the lap back and I knew that wasn't right.

But don't worry, I'm going to be becoming admin shortly but I've decided to race ONE MORE to at least finish out six starts. I plan to race Charlotte then sit out the final two races to administrate if I'm able to.

The point was I was not lapped. Are "lap down" and "lapped" two different things?

I understand what was the problem now: I created a story board to show you:



1. Shows xzeal pitting during the green flag stretch, putting him a lap down

2. Shows xzeal clearly a lap down when the yel was called

3. Shows xzeal at the front of the field, ready to take the free pass just after yel was called

4. Shows xzeal at the BACK of the field just after PIT was called as the cars pace to the pits

5. Shows xzeal STAYING OUT, CHOOSING NOT TO PIT, and advancing positions. As explained, you recieved the free pass at the wrong time, usually you should recieve it after the pit stops. Obviously if you had, you would of gone back onto the lead lap, but to the back. So we had to send you to the back as shown in..

6. But we only did this AFTER a failed restart, so it may of confused you with the two commands. YEL means that we do the whole thing again, no RS just means the current yel is extended to one more lap of pacing.

So basically, don't worry we did you no wrong We will make sure all free passes happen AFTER the pitstops in future

A tiny thing btw Burnout.. according to what you told me before you get 51 points for 11th, not 50, that kinda does make more sense as then it keeps the pattern of 4 places with 5 points between, 4 places with 4 points between, 4 places with 3 points between etc.
