For the first one we can only hope the drivers will learn from this and take more care in the pace car lap. Start from the pit is not what we want, this could eventually encourage some people to take more risks...
Seriously, this wasn't intentional at all. We(backmarkers drivers) were in double file on sector 1, but suddently, this 2nd file died of somewhat. As the guy that was on the right didn't want to pull out, I thought his grid position was worse than mine, so I without much reflexion, I decided to fill the gap with SRS' car. And remember, there was already a big chaos in T1, everybody recovered as they could, so I think that nobody on the back was 100% sure of his position.
Oh well, I can't belive you prefer to penalize me than the guy that ended their race...
Indeed. Specially at the chicane I was like "wth there are cars all over the place, what should I do?". As people stormed through the madness, you just go. Haven't seem the replay yet but I don't have a clue if I was even close to my original position when "green flag" was shouted.
Trekkerfahrer, I represent the Revo Junkies Team. I must announce to you that you give us a DT penality because we didn't have a numberplate on hood bonnet. We have uploaded our skin to Skins thread 5 days before the event, and I wonder why you signed it as >OK< if it wasn't "OK". You could just simply sign it as >Wrong<, and we could remove the problem. I think that this is YOUR problem now, and try to correct it and then, there will be peace! Thanks for reading,...... if you read this fully!
from revision 07 march 2009 on there was following rule:
we can make mistakes, we are just homosapiens (big naked apes)
but in the end, the author of the skin is responsible for what he did. in this case the author is the team and regarding to GTAL rulebook:
PAFF, i've said all
tante EDIT:
seems, that we have to post a rule confirmation where all team have to confirm that they have completely read them
Sorry, but tbh I think thats a total cop-out on the first response.
GabbO, you said "Start from the pit is not what we want, this could eventually encourage some people to take more risks..."
Could you explain what you mean by this, not sure I follow?
Notwithstanding that, this was harldy one of those situations
6 weeks practice down the drain..........
True it did get quite messy But, I was spectating on LFS remote and on teamspeak with our driver. From that it was pretty easy to figure out who should have been where in the line up.
How true. I thought the cardinal rule was if you get punted from behind then it was always the other drivers fault
From the rules 6. Race start " The race will be started in a single file rolling start behind the safety car. The safety car will drive
at a constant speed of 150 km/h. Each driver must leave a comfortable gap to the car ahead"
Tbh we do have a little sympathy for the chap who rear ended us and finished race, visibility is zero coming throught that chicane. Its the muppets up front who caused the blockage in the first place who deserve to be penalised in some way during the next race.
Is this the perfect example of why the racers didn't deserve (yet) to get in the big leagues, or something else?
I only know that when your team gets penalised in MOE & IGTC for something stupid you did, boy do you feel it, but if the admins do nothing when someone does it to you? That's worse IMO....
Good luck in the series guys, just do your best to learn at every race, and hopefully we will see some of you next season
Aye I hear ya. So spot on, indeed if we want to get to the big leagues we better have a good look at ourselfs and improve what we ourselfs did wrong. Dont look at others anymore, no point anymore. So with that said, where is the new thread about race 2
