Penalties and warnings on the live leaderboard
Warnings and penalties from the official Telegram channel @pitstopendurance appear on the live race page. Previously a penalty would only reach the site after a manual export by a manager — now it happens automatically within about 10 seconds.
How it works
The service monitors the channel around the clock. Each new message is automatically matched to the active race by kartodrome, and the warning appears on the leaderboard without any manager action. If the channel admin edits or deletes a message — the change will also reach the site within the next polling cycle (about 15 seconds).
How to read the indicators
- A tag appears next to the car number in the leaderboard row.
- Stop&Go — mandatory pit stop. Without serving it the result is not counted.
- Warning — violation logged without a time penalty. A second warning in the same race usually escalates to a Stop&Go.
- Return position — instruction to let an opponent through after an improper overtake.
What to do if a penalty has not appeared
If the message is in the channel but not on the leaderboard — most likely the active race has not yet appeared in our catalogue. The service will automatically pick up such messages within 10 minutes once the race becomes visible. If the situation persists for more than half an hour — write to @kartracers_support.
