rFactor Formula E Championship - Season 1

So we have a bit of a situation here.

The race had 4 finishers, after the AI (Artificial Idiots) decided that driving on with 3 wheels and parking on the racing line on the exit of a blind corner was a good idea. Therefore, one driver lost a wheel, drove on and ended up taking out around 15 drivers in separate but related accidents. Therefore I will put up what to do to a vote.

Thanks, Have a Coffee - Use the results with 4 finishers and have the video of the Artificial Idiots doing what no racing driver would or should do.
Thanks, Have a Beer - Re-run the whole weekend.

I am refraining from posting the quali results, as they'd have to be different if I did a re-run.
 
LAAD STORMS TO POLE
Jimmy Laad scored his first point of the season by placing his FanBoosted car on pole in the USA. Monterrey winner Rami Saidy lines up alongside him ahead of a Red Bull row 2.

Chaos in California

Tapio Rinneaho scored his first win as only 4 drivers made it to the finish line in Long Beach. The Finn lead home Takuma Ishikawa (who finished 2nd for the third time), Lesley Buurlage and Jamie Cocks. All other drivers retired. Daniel Harvey showed off his amazing skill at being able to roll a car over the kerbs at turn 5. Milos Ancevski was caught out by a slowing pack through the car park, removing a wheel in the process. However, in the space of 3 minutes, 16 drivers were out of the race. Joel Rautavaara missed his braking point and smashed into the back of Tim Engberink. Rather than pulling over, he tried to carry on, and was soon hit by Black, Keranen, Diehl and Utzer - leading to their retirements. Almost simultaneously, James McNamara lost the rear of his car exiting the first turn, hitting the wall. His car was then also stuck in an odd place, leading to more retirements. Utzer crawled his car along the circuit and was forced around the first turn where the car stopped. In the ensuing ruckuss, Jimmy Laad was rolled over as another load of drivers saw their race end there. Sigoulakis, who damaged his car in the McNamara incident, parked his car before turn 5. It was sensibly out the way, but Rautavaara, Graham and Yamaguchi took avoiding action over the kerbs that flipped Harvey, also flipping them into the walls. Vimal Ana somehow managed to get through the chaos, but the damage was too much for him, as the car swerved into the wall while he tried entering the pits, removing his wheel.

Official Conference
@TTupsi well done on victory. Is this a significant turning point in your season?
@Takuma Ishikawa after 5 races, you either seem to retire or finish second. When can you get the win?
@Lesley Buurlage, you started this race with 2 points, how good does it feel to have a podium?
@Jamie Cocks, Congrats for making it through the chaos. With so few finishers, are you disappointed to miss out on the podium?​
