so, the rules for hard% state the following:

-Safety Car and Parc Ferme must be turned on

Parc Ferme is not a problem, as you can leave that on regardless of the amount of laps in a race. the problem lies with the Safety Car. you see, the SC can only be turned on on 25%+ race distance. does this mean we have to do a run on 25% distance, or do we leave the SC off?
