Matt Neal has used that tap and pass at clearways since 1995, maybe even 1996 so they wont do anything because its a move that not just him but a few other drivers have done over the years aswell. If they dont like it tough. Also a lot of the driver's he has done it to have picked up on it, like Giovanardi, he's done it, others he's done it to havent really picked up on it which im surprised about because normally one driver does it so they all end up doing it.
I think one small nudge is acceptable but no a proper whack, and as you say if the cars scrape as they go by each other and it doesnt effect anyone then that is alright.
so i gather you've not watched BTCC from the early ninties to now then? contact has been part of touring car racing since the super touring era, its not gonna go away.
Thats the type of stupid rule that makes racing end up crap.
Its like "oh you go first, no you, no you go first, oh ok then".
Just let them race as they do at the moment, just make it clear that if you do stuff like Nash did then there WILL definately or definately NOT be punishment. Its just too all over the place at the moment. And that everyone gets equal punishment, not the new guys out there get treated worse than the old timers like Plato, Collard or Neal.
No way, this is an issue which got me absolutely miffed, it was clearly Collards fault as Nash was on the inside and Collard still insisted on moving over and over and over until the inevitable happened. As James said why should he lift off? he had another car right up behind him so he would have ended up in the same situation as Collard did. BTCC is so close these things happen and if it does and a car gets wrecked then its tough tits tbh. If they dont like it then they can piss off to another series with no action and no coverage and see where that gets them.
On the subject of O'neill, that was the safety car / race control's fault for making the safety car come out so damn late. Was good to see that Turkington understood the collision couldnt be avoided when a safety car comes out doing about 80mph in front of a pack of cars that are doing about 120mph - 130mph.
Last year this sort of thing would have been just overlooked and maybe a slap on the wrists but nothing more (which is right as BTCC is so close). But i dont know whether they've got a new clerk of the course or whether he's had a complete transformation because he's become a complete tosser.
Well i had a look on youtube and there were video's from last year and there were the pickup's, Radical's and Mini Cooper Cup but that might have been part of the Dunlop Festival last year.
Right so if you have proof of purchase which would confirm the warranty is still in date you still have to destroy it? i'd just say "nah you're alright ill spend a bit more on a Fanatec wheel and not bother with Logitech stuff anymore" see what they'd say then.
Well no, if its broken and still in warranty then you're entitled to a new one. So they cant say no to giving you a new one if you say no to destroying it.
Anyone ever been to this? because on the website it says truck and car racing on both days but i cant find the timetable so dont know what cars it is that will be racing alongside the trucks
