Session of Incident (Official Sessions for Round 3: Qualifying 1, Qualifying 2, Race): Race part 2
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident (or session time or UTC Time of Day): 32 lap after restart. It was at 4pm UTC
Car(s) involved: 78 and 25
Location of Incident (Track Map Here): T21
Brief Description of Incident: 78 pushes car 25 off on exit. As the commentators put it "he clearly unwinds the steering wheel and pushes them off while easily making the corner"

Drive Through Penalty for Car #78 -avoidable contact and not leaving sufficient racing room, which results in #25 leaving the racing surface.

Car(s) involved: 25, 74 and 78
Location of Incident (Track Map Here): T21
Brief Description of Incident: Unsafe passing from 25, later holds 78 and 74 up more.

Car #25 loses the rear end slightly on turn in which results in him running wide. No case to answer for. Protest dismissed.

Yes so to confirm as red flag was at around 1h 20 mins into the race, the race will be restarted with 11 hours to go (as LFS only gives us hour increments) from the race standings as of lap 30.

Quote from McEscher :

Nice! But why not 10 hours? By the time the server and race were fully restarted the amount of time left would be below 10.5 hours afaik.

It's done to the nearest half hour (I think...) and the server failure was somewhere near 1325 UTC.

It's basically a restart of the race with the order being taken from when the red flag was issued (or when everyone disconnected) with 11h to go

Quote from The Very End :

I hate you sig.

To be honest my old sig was you posting one of the funniest things I've ever read on this forum, so I figured I needed to redress the balance.

Quote from BorislavB :

there is some problem with tracker

Yes deko has got his spanners out and is trying to fix it.

Quote from dekojester :

The stewards have investigated the following:

Race
2:21:30-2:22:30 race time
Cars 30 and 25
Turn 15 / CS-18
Car 30 and 25 have contact at the apex of Turn 15, resulting in a spin for Car 25.

Car 25 - Drive-Through - Ignoring Blue Flags
Car 30 - Warning - Causing an avoidable contact with Car 25 at Turn 15

Car 25 have appealed against the Drive-Through penalty awarded to them in the above incident. The incident was then looked at another admin not involved in investigating this incident originally. Original decision was upheld. Car 25 gets a 20-second stop and go penalty.

Admin initiated investigation:

Race
2h57 race time
Cars 72 and 71
Turn 8 / CS-8
Car 72 spins and reverses back onto the racing line into the path of Car 71.

Car 72 - Drive-Through - Unsafe recovery from incident

Integra?

Quote from Seb66 :

Bit of acceleration out of some tolls in the mini! notice broken wiper and floppy aerial http://youtu.be/mzvdSWj4r9c

Once did that in a 1.2 litre diesel VW Polo with 4 fairly big guys (except me) and a load of lead in it. 0-60 in 16.8 seconds

I was glad to see during the draw that we got our first glimpse of the one best thing about the World Cup being in Brazil. Well.... the two best things......




Cleavage much?!?!?

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Dear dumb ****,

You just proved my point and your ineptness at the same time. The energy spent in work would be equal to that done in kinetic energy.

W= delta KE

And you may be the first European person to be less intelligent than an Amercan, congrats.

Regardless, it is definitely a spot by the energy they exert at the very least....

Wat.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Well, if you are going a further distance and exerting more force yes :P. Just at a distance stand point Jimmie Johnson is that much more of an athlete than Danica. :P

Wat.

High five Boosted! I've got the same wheel! How long do you have it? Mine is holding up quite nicely for 5 years now

Same! Best wheel ever.

Quote from Racer Y :

They should have the Winter Olympics in the tropics.... to make it more challenging.

Or the Summer World Cup in a place where it's 50 degrees every day. Oh wait hang on a second......

I don't get how, if the pit boxes are that small and are right next to each other, how you're supposed to enter and exit your pit box without going in someone else's? They're only like 2 car lengths long :/

Quote from N I K I :

Oh that blows. Should be far more interesting than Bahrain though.

When I say hot I mean ~25 degrees apparently, but I would think definitely in the range to give the Mercs tyre problems. Especially if there isn't *that* much rubber down after the rain.

Quote from N I K I :

Hamilton's gonna be right on it as well. The tires and fairly cool conditions suit Merc and they've got a mighty top speed advantage over Vettel. I really hope for a fascinating race for victory.

AFAIK it's supposed to be really quite hot here tomorrow
