You could have just stopped and waited for the safety car to pass you. And the spectate system does not spectate you for backing out of a gravel trap at slow speed.
I didn't know they were qualifying in this format. Looks really cool. Also, i'm thinking they should really put working lights on the cars, as well as better wipers.
Protester:96 - J.Marsh
Protestee:60 - D.Lind
Lap #:25
Turn #:Exit of 1
Protest Description: Lind comes under me coming out of turn 1, hitting me hard in the side, causing me to lose spots and others to spin.
Edit: Never mind, missed that part. But i'm throwing full double file restarts out as a suggestion, with the leader being able to choose the inside or outside on the restart.

Do you see anyone getting penalised? No. Bump drafting IS legal in some racing disciplines. None of them thinks that it is cheating. Are they all sick in the head too?
Seems like every time Montoya is dominating, NASCAR knacks him for speeding. Unless there was a malfunction with Montoya's pit speed lights, I'd say NASCAR basically rigged the results. I hate to say it, but it could be the cold hard truth.
If you are so bent on realism and that everyone on the planet can afford a $300 wheel, why not buy a real car and race it on a real track with other real cars?
