In this situation you described, what is the difference between estimated time remaining and actual time remaining? If my calculations are correct, then ATVO should have figured out that you will not reach the lap limit, and instead "estimate" that the race will end by the time limit. In that case it should use the (actual) time limit. It will call it estimated because it's estimating that the lap limit will not be reached, and the race will instead end by the time limit.
Of course it's possible the calculation was off and it is showing something else, but I'm still a bit confused what the issue is now. If there are 5 minutes left in the race, and still 30 laps to go (just an example), both time remaining and estimated time remaining should be the same: 5 minutes.
I will check my code again, I built this a long time ago. Perhaps estimated time remaining is calculating first how many laps remaining (let's say: 6 laps in those 5 minutes), and then estimating again how much time that will take (let's say 5:16 instead of 5:00). Could be that this is happening...
Sorry, the reason I want to make it clear is because this code is intended to work for the most basic purposes and I think there was a good reason why it "forces" estimated time remaining in some cases. If you can convince me that that's wrong I will see how to fix it.
