I really don’t think the JTKM final 2 was handled correctly. And it has more than likely decided the Champion.

The race should have been 24 laps. On lap 15 there was a crash which took out some of the leading drivers. The track was not blocked and no one injured. The marshal at that point showed the red flag for a few seconds then took it back in. About 30 seconds later the red flags came out.
As there was still 9 laps to go they started to line up the karts in the order they had been running on lap 14 including the karts that were not running at the time of the red flag.

This was not to the bluebook as any karts not running at the time of a red flag cannot take the restart. When this was pointed out they then said the race was over.
Giving the top 3 places to karts that had crashed out.
Surely this cannot be the right outcome (I no the blue book says that is one option.) But as this was a Championship race the other option seemed a lot fairer. To restart the race in the order the karts were at the time of a red flag.

Any driver crashing out has now an incentive to play injured hoping a red flag is shown.
