I'm not so sure why, but I can think of reasons. Let's say you have to leave in a hurry but you don't want to lose your money on a race you're not gonna race. Or when you find out that not enough people show up for the race, then you can cancel it.

I agree that it shouldn't be possible to cancel a race that has already begun, if I'm correct I've seen this just one time before, but I understand that's very annoying.

That's that automatic system when no people finish in the time of 20minutes or something. People can't cancel races themselves, not even admins can. We can only force start the race. If that thingy was to be removed, then when all the racers would die, then the race would last forever and new racers wouldn't be made. Even if an admin command would be added, then we can't assure that an admin is online all the time to cancel the race if needed.
Easy isn't always simple.

I don't see any problems with this race canceling deal at all.

It would be nice tho if the minimum amount of racers would be set to two players.
So if the server is a little bit empty, or no one just likes to race at that time, the race still can go on with two players.
the price money for 3th place should be given back to the race host or be devided( 1st place gets more money than 2nd) over 1st and 2nd place.
This 3th place money could also be put in this donation pot suggested in another topic.
So people are little less dependant on a 3th person, and still can race if they like.

Alvar says right time to finish a race is 24 minutes .. within 24 minutes if you are not able to finish the race is over and only those who earn over! and another thing is when the race starts are only two players ... and then the race is lost for a minimum of three players must be minimum.  ;)

If that was the case, I could get two friends with me, host a race, start it, and instead of racing just hang around the server, without ever finishing the race, just for the sake of trolling.
I mean guys, come on, 24 minutes is more than enough to finish any race, it doesn't take more than 20 minutes to finish all around SA 2 laps race to someone new in GTA! It usually takes about 15.
