    No idea if this is a bug or feature request or where i should put it, but:

    White car on the right was avoiding an incident, but because the red was still moving and head of the white car, it still informed the white car driver to "Return position". The reason is that the game makes no difference whether the car ahead is standing still, spinning around or moving slowly, as long as the car ahead is on the track and you overtake off it, it will give you the "Return position" order even if you are avoiding an incident ! Can this please be looked at to avoid such nonsensical situations ? Any real life racing event if there is a crashing car and you go off the track to avoid the crash you are not ordered to return a position in racing conditions, at least as far as i remember i have not seen that.

    Unfortunately, our community also often faces this problem when you have to return position while going around an accident, or simply a car that has turned around on its own. sometimes this leads to several cars being stopped

    it could get worse
    i had to give back in a similar situation.
    Unfortunatelly the driver with accident killed his car, ended the race and went to pit.
    Though i couldnt give back the position anymore, i got a drive through :confused:

    I've easily beaten you all :)

    This is from PCARS2, but same system, so it should also apply to AMS2: I was last in a race, at some point I had an off-track moment, and at the exact same moment another driver disconnected from the server. So suddenly I was say 14th from 15th, the game thought I gained a position and asked me to give back the position while I was still last in the race! It was a surreal wait until I got the drive through penalty...

    if you were a real racer you would have quickly hacked him so he had to reconnect to to the server and then given the place back!!!!

    Just like Jody Scheckter in 1976

    That could be an idea! ;)

    What did Jody Scheckter do?
