My Complaints:


At restart in second race, Kablikus started infront of me even though i finished 4th before SC.

That Bulgarian guy with the name that starts with a V crashed me in the safety car period, twice.

Juuretis, no idea where to start.

@ Juurme

One particular quote from you (and Moskvich3v1) which hurt me was 'What am I doing here'.

Yes, it was a crap race, but you were there because you signed up, and all us organisers tried our damned hardest to make this a great series for Beginner's, but whiners like you ruin it for yourselves, us and the other racers.

yes, Jatko and someone else (Can't remember the name) seemed to be confused over who was 3rd and who was 4th in the safety car lap...



I was 5th, and Jatko was in front of me. He drifted around T5 (I think) and spun off. About a lap later, he caught up, but took an extra position. IIRC it was sorted before green flag though...

Yes, there was a bit of confusion there, sorry!
Sorry also if I hit you!

I don't really care where I finished, the race was ruined by a couple of terrible people.

Here's the deal, folks.

I will be going throuh the replay as soon as I get a chance, first looking at the things already discussed here.

Penaties will range from grid penalties for Round 3, points penalties, time penalties.

Please be sure to keep this topic to requesting incident investigations ONLY.

Please use the "Round 2 Post Discussion" thread for generla race discussion.

Well regretfully, I have some complaints to make... :(

Lap 1
On Turn 2 J@tko (with frequent lag might I add) spins from a tap by Moskvish3v1. They touch yet again just after Turn 3. J@tko then spends the rest of the lap passing cars to regain his position.
(See Lap 5 below...)

Lap 2
Moskvish3v1 (who earnt a Stop-Go even before the 1st Turn of Lap 1 for overtaking 2 cars!) is driving quite aggressively now...
At Turn 2 he makes a mad dive up my inside. I had Technique on my right so I had no further room to give Moskvish3v1.
He connects with my rear left causing me spin to around. He continues to do so untill I'm facing the barrier, out of his way & so he could pass just fine. He doesn't hesitate in the slightest, not even a lift off the throttle.
I wouldn't mind or complain if he atleast slowed down even a tiny bit so I could get it straight.
Poor etiquette & reckless driving don't you think?

Lap 5
J@tko spins yet again under the Safety Car. I was suprised to see him go driving past me & the others at Turn 1 of Lap 6...I think Kabliuks was too!
Still with plenty of lag & more overtaking under the SC...naughty naughty Jack!

Well if the Green Flag was displayed then I think it's more or less deemed to be okay. Technically, it's not, unless they accelerate at the same time the leader does.
I had two cars hoon past me too, the green flag was up but they was on the power earlier :shrug:

11th February 2008, 00:29
Technically you're allowed to floor it before the green, as long as you don't pass the person in front of you, and you don't purposely create a gap in front to gain acceleration, right?

7. Rolling Start Procedures

8. There is to be no overtaking until the Release Point is crossed.


There's the rule.
Start Finish is deemed to be the release point.
Could 17th and 18th placed drivers (for example) start racing each other two turns before the pit straight just because the leaders have been given the green flag?

At restart in second race, Kablikus started infront of me even though i finished 4th before SC.

kABLiuks LTU was in P3 at time of SC deployment, [TG] Hammond was in 4th.

You also spun during the SC. You should have stayed in the spot you were in when you rejoined the queue. This was not explicity stated in the regulations, so you will recieve no penalty for this. This will be corrected for next round.

You did, however, make excessive contact with kABLiuks during the SC period causing him to spin. For this, I am issuing you a 2 point penalty, and will deduct that from your points earned in the race. This will also cover your overtaking under SC.

Thankyou for admitting your fault in this incident. Thankyou for allowing him to get his place back, even though it put you half a lap back.

Remember to be cautions of what's going on around you, especially in the first couple laps when everyone's packed in.

I passed two cars before the start/finish line as soon as "green flag" was displayed on the screen. One was during the first start, and the second was on the restart. I'm not sure if I should be penalized or what. I thought anything goes once "green flag" is displayed - and due to the better power to weight ratio of the RAC I accelerated much faster than the RB4's on restarts.

Well I just saw my replay to see if I made any mistakes. The only contact there seemed to have been was with hyntty but I was clearly on the inside.

Also would like to clarify one thing. If I am leading under SC period, am I aloud to leave a gap between me and SC so that i get more speed coming into the last turn when the green flag is going to be displayed?

You are allowed to gap the SC once it's lights are out and it begins to accelerate away.

Hi taylor, that would be kaluiks and I. For the record, we weren't actually "on the power earlier". In fact, both him and I bunched up behind you and were on the brakes when the green was displayed. Our cars (LX6 and RAC) simply have better acceleration than the RB4 which is why we easily passed you before the start finish line. Safety car rule #8 and rolling start rule #8 seem to conflict each other - maybe this should be clarified for future seasons.

Sorry about my lag. Seriously, I've never ever lagged before without msn or IE on. I didn't have either on. Also, for me, it only really happenned right at the start and at the end of the race :shrug:


Lap 1
J@tko then spends the rest of the lap passing cars to regain his position.


Lap 5
J@tko spins yet again under the Safety Car. I was suprised to see him go driving past me & the others at Turn 1 of Lap 6...I think Kabliuks was too!

I had my secret weapon on - Road_ normal tyres, which really don't work on gravel! :( It meant that I didn't have to stop, but that was irrelevant anyway!

OK, I accept. I was in quite a strop at the time, and I think you'd be glad that I wasn't on TS; you'd have got quite an earful!

Thanks for trying to help dougie, however there no mention of the leader in the rolling start rules.

The release point is a point on the track, not a point in time and the Start/Finish line had not been crossed by the cars involved in this incident.

If I had thought it was a legal move I wouldn't have just let him drive right on by, I would have made an attempt to defend my position.

This will be futher clarfied in the new rules:

Case examples:

Car in P4 of 12 spins, recovers and rejoins in P9. The driver may not return to P4, but must hold in P9.

Car in P1 of 20 pits, and exits the pits in last. That car will be restarting in last.

The WARNING to [SR] Mutt is for causing an avoidable incident. The first contact was unavoidable, and you did make an effort to avoid futher contact, but you did cause a second incident after, and for the second incident, which caused the spin is what you are recieving this warning for.

i admint that i did that, and i am not saying that it is not fair to put panelty points to me, but it is totaly not fair if next time any body spins during SC because he was hit and it causes him to lose like 10 positions, means if he finishes in 15th final position he gets 2points (20points less!if no body would have hit him) and the one that hit gained one position and plus 2points, but well he did a bad move so he lose 2 points and its status quo. My english is not perfect but what i am trying to say that the one who HITS actualy has advantage,because he eliminates one oponent,gaines one place, and at the end get only two points penalty, and the one who is HIT drops lots positions down and if he finishes there he get many many points less. its not really fair....

New Penalties for juurme:

Suspended from Round 3.
Start at back of grid for Round 4.
Probation for rest of season.

Probation puts juurme on VERY thin ice for the remainder of the season. Any further offences may be given more strict penalties than they would normally.

Math1js will be issued a WARNING for his disconnecting early.

This is lenient compared to the others because of the following reasons:
1 - He joined the series during the week-end, so may not have been completely familiar with the rules, and will be given a grace for this.
2 - He felt he was causing accidents and wished to minimize this.

Thanks for trying to help dougie, however there no mention of the leader in the rolling start rules.

The release point is a point on the track, not a point in time and the Start/Finish line had not been crossed by the cars involved in this incident.

If I had thought it was a legal move I wouldn't have just let him drive right on by, I would have made an attempt to defend my position.

I'd rather one of the race organisers reviewed the incident and made an official decision.

Could I have an official decision on the overtaking before the Start/Finish line on the rolling start please.

The new regulations will contain this.

But, overtaking is forbidden until YOU cross the line on the restart/start

OK, well I won't kick up a fuss about penalties or anything, even though he finished the race right in front of me. :smileypul

1. I didnt start practicing yet and most of u did O_O!

3. Im training with G25 to go back to momo for the race :S

Maybe it wasn't so smart to put the fast drivers towards the back of the grid...it'll be R2 all over again :scratchch

But do you not remember what happened when juuretis was put to the back? He tried to force his way through - with apparent results...

This is what would happen when the quick drivers are put to the rear...

But this is why the following car is to take all possible care when overtaking.

14 laps is quite a bit of time, if you're patient and don't make mistakes.
