People taking shortcuts could be an issue. Maybe one person should fly a jet to monitor the race.

Hence why I said about difficulties identifying and the reasoning behind not doing sim. We plan to have a ref if not two to monitor. Perhaps a stationary B17 to act as a ground based turret!!!!

Forget Red Army Air Racing, lets call it Tour De Stalingrad

If we have a ref he can keep an eye on the map as that will show a corner cut. Anyone who does it twice gets disqualified. That way you can allow for a mistake.
Leaderboard will be good. We can score it like F1 with top 6 getting points.

ok then.
btw you are going back some years and your talking second place f1 winner now gets 20 points last year they got 10 and 2n getting 8 and it was 02 last time second got 6 points but 1st never got 6 always 10.
plus inly alow for 1 minor short cut. oh i accdently cut off half the course.
also wep will be a good factor in races too much and you kill your engine (if its realistic arcade wont make any difference) too little and your gonna be a long way behind

Actually it's now 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2 thereby rewarding the top ten and the wrc has just adopted the same scoring system

So to digress but on the subject of F1, if you have an iPhone there's a great app:
