You won't like me for this, but. Seeing as you have seen the first minute of the race or so, it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the guys if you got another turn. Same as if you timed out.
Skunk however didn't move from the grid and only saw the first CP which didn't give a definite direction anyway. That's why he will have a time at the end of the round.
I feel bad that everybody who didn't get to finish their run got a second go but it's only the fairest thing to do. Hopefully this no entering during a race with objects thing is introduced.
