What's NCF stand for? It's something link 'didn't finish but completed more than 3/4 of the race' I presume?

Non-classified finish. Tends to get awarded to people who cause a red flag incident. They crossed the finish line (as you get a count-back after a red flag), but they don't get classified due to causing it.

Ted, can also mean that the driver/car hasn't completed a minimum percentage of the finishers distance.

Has been used in F1 and is used in Rallying (OTL-over time limit)

The Pennisula TVR was down as NCF in the second GT race becuase it spent about half the race in the pits. Think you have to complete 2/3rds of the distance to be classified. I could be wrong on that, feel free to correct me
