Disqualified TimeTrialTime - Respawn Button - (when time is shown in red)

[Squanto]

We all know that feeling when you have been Ring lapping in Time Trial mode just to make that silly mistake just near the end of an almost perfect lap, and your lap time turns red and not just for this round : even for the next round.
Sure you can restart the time trial with the regular button combination, but why not introduce a "hot-key" to quickly restart your effort of getting that best time on the Ring.

So my suggestion is that on the event of the color change of the time on screen, on the right side of the time show the triangle button as a hot-key to restart your round.

This will only appear when the time is indicated in red.
And the time trial starts again at its known starting point.

I got this idea on this thread thanks to a post by @4pekatt .

(I'll add pictures later to illustrate the idea)

Ok so it would be single button instead of two?

Instead of three, and on my wheel it's harder to find the start button quickly...

I found it pretty smart that, on seasonal events, the game doesn't ask you to confirm if you want to restart the race.
With a DS3 i don't think it is a problem really (the menus are fast luckily) but I don't know if with a wheel it is harder.
But I think you have even less buttons on the wheel, so you would have to necessarily sacrifice some other function just to avoid pressing start > reset.

Absolutely!

You have even more buttons on the wheel!
Sacrificeing a button isn't really necessary, because my idea is to override the regular function of the button for let's say 5 to 7 seconds.
The triangle button ís the rear gear so I thought it was the appropriate button for a 'respawn'.

So an icon should appear just for 5 second after you ruined your lap, allowing you to "ragequit" directly and restart the lap on the fly, if you press the button in that short time-frame.
This is clever, I'm liking this suggestion.

so what, you start a few metres before the disqualification?

No a plain restart, just as you started initially (a few metres before start/finish), but no "red" time on the clock ...
