Track cars overtaking lapped cars #41

Overtaking rules do not activate for lapped scenarios. This can result in following a car - about to pass a lapped car - and then switching away before overtake is done.

Perhaps a LappedBattle rule - so if no active battles, look for lapping battles.

This would be a VERY good thing to have for endurance races, as quite often, there is not as much overtakes being done for position, however may overtakes every lap being done from lapped cars. This was another suggestion I was going to make, but don't need to since you have it here already ;)

I would say that a good 90% of my races that I participate in, have at least half the field or more being lapped multiple times during the race, whereas actual overtakes for positions aren't as frequent. Positional overtakes happen in the 1st half hour frequently, but after that, you may have one or two/lap, even with 50+ cars on track. After the first hour, positional overtakes come even slower (and quite often are due to pit-stops, and not actually battling, out on track) whereas there are many spectacular passes being made on cars that are multiple laps down, or even by lap-down cars trying to un-lap themselves.
