Hmm, I could imagine a quick and dirty solution, but did not try it:
- Record a screen macro with a screen macro recorder to start the race 
(this starts it up)
- If your robot discovers that it wants to restart do an "exit" in your 
robot (this shuts it down), in the robots shutdown function you could do 
the same.
- Now create a shell/batch script/application which does:
1. do while "torcs is running" (so hang here till the process is gone)
1. execute start macro
2. sleep a moment
3. goto 1

Another solution would be to modify these 2 things (should be easy as well):
- Add in the car->ctrl struct a field where your robot can ask the 
simulation to terminate
- Evaluate this in the raceengine, set up a state transition (modify the 
race state machine in src/libs/raceengineclient/racestate.cpp)

Hope this helps, please let me know how you solved it finally.

Best regards

Bernhard
