These Karts must start at the rear whether the Race is run over the full distance or as a two part Race.
Those Karts that stopped after the incident that gave rise to the stoppage because they were instructed to do so or because the Track was blocked may join the restarted Race in their proper places.

4.3. The method of determining the Results of a Race must be specified in the Official Documents for the Event and / or Championship as the case may be.
4.4. Where timing is not authorised it is prohibited to publish times or speeds in any Practice or Race Result.
4.5. Any other publication or display giving this information must clearly be shown and declared as‘ Unofficial’ and‘ For Information Purposes Only’.
4.6. Should the end of the Race Signal inadvertently or otherwise be displayed before the leading Vehicle completes the scheduled number of laps or before the prescribed Race time has been completed the Race will nevertheless be deemed to end at the moment the Signal is given. If the chequered Flag / Signal is given to the leader then the Result will be issued accordingly but if the chequered Flag / Signal is first given to a Competitor other than the leader then the Result should be given at the end of the last completed lap of the leader. Should the end of the Race Signal be inadvertently delayed the Race will nevertheless be deemed to finish at the correct moment and Competitors be classified accordingly in the Results.
