Restart a race while keeping startgrid positions

Hi all

I'd like to know if the following is possible.

We run weekly based races on a dedicated server.
Sometimes restarting a race would be a good solution for, let's say, a T1 disaster.
But, with keeping our previous start grid position. So no need for an extra qualifying.

Can we set something up in the dedicated server setup to makes this happen?
Or is the only solution the full course yellow and safety car out?

Thanks

 

You can restart the race with “Advance Session” in the old web interface or typing in your browser
http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/session/advance (admin login required)
That’s useful when a driver forgets the ready button before the 2 minutes, a false start, desync or a carnage in turn 1. It keeps the grid positions and the 2 minutes counter starts again.

If you are in practice or qualy with this command you advance to next session, but if you are in race (and no rotate active), restarts the race as described.

The bad news is that it’s not valid if someone disconnects or left the server. Don’t know if connecting as spectator and advancing again he could join the race. Other thing to test…
