Enduring Spirit DLC: the rules of Endurance race

First of all, I'm very happy that this game mode is finally back in GRID. I will for sure play many endurance races in the future.

However, there's one tweak in the rules that I don't get. Just like in real life, when the time runs out, the leader crossing the finish line effectively stops the lap count and there's no more laps. In GRID Legends, not only that there's no more laps after the leader crosses the finish line, there's literally no race anymore. It just ends. Nobody gets to finish their lap. Your final position is therefore determined by the leader crossing the line and your current position at that exact moment, not by crossing the line yourself, unless you are leading the whole field (which means you have to be in the top class which is not always the case).

I know this is not a bug, it's meant to be that way, but I just don't get it. It's not that big of a deal, I can live with it, however it would be fine if we got an option to set up "standard" endurance rules in race creator on top of this (kinda weird) solution.

What are your thoughts on this, fellow players?
