Context: usually after you sign in into a league race the AI system who was managing your race pace and the car Battery is deactivated. It's Normal you are sign in. But once you sign out while the race is ongoing, the AI is still kept deactivated.
While I understand the logic behind: "if you are available to sign in you should be available to manage your race till the end" but sometimes you just sign in to just catch up with you race strategy, make some changes, or change the push level for the remaining of the race but you are not necessarily available to stay sign in till the end.
PROPOSAL: Implement a feature, where the AI take over the race pace and the management of the car Battery if you sign out. For example, after you sign out, and 5 laps went by, or after 10 mins (a metric to define) the AI system retake over the management of the car.
PRO AND CONS: you are not worry about the remaining race pace. It even opens an in-between type of players: Full active players (stay signin most of the race time), Casual players (signin in league race, don't stay too long and sign out), offline active players (setup his cars and let the AI run the league race).
