Lap and Timecode of incident: Dont remember
Cars Involved: Deko
Brief Description of incident: He chatted twice (or three?). I think you should have given him a "stop-n-talk"
:shhh:
The GREEN GREEN GREEN was me forgetting I had edited my Safety Car Standby bind, and when I went to punch it and it showed up I immediately went fp. The SCS message is to warn that there may be an SCD soon. It's also used to help me find where incidents are because the tracker records those messages with a timestamp. Apologies for it, though.
Also, protests are due by 1800 UTC on Monday, August 17th, 2009. No protests will be accepted after that date. There are none pending from during the race.
Lap 5, timecode: ~8:27.29
Car 90 and 93 but in the end, caused a chain reaction which got more cars involved
Watching car 90 from the start of the race, it was quite obvious that it was imminent that it would crash sooner or later. During lap 5 in T2 (or 1 if it's counted as a chicane), car 90 -after a faulty move on the line 09- spun and then continued on to reverse -when quite a chunk of the grid was a fraction of a second behind- right into the rear left of car 93 which due to this, also spun. Unfortunately it didn't ended there with other cars also crashing because of the same reason.
Car 90 started the chain of events which ended my race and cost me my 1st position in the championship.
Leaving all of that aside, a more alarming question remains:
Safety car is only released when a car is in an unrecoverable and dangerous position, e.g. Rolling, Getting stuck in the gravel, doing a me at the final iTCC round....
There was no need for the Safety Car at that point in time. Yellow flags are waved at the incident scene by the (virtual) marshals for a reason. DO NOT IGNORE THEM (for anyone). Charting full on into a yellow flag zone is a recipie for disaster. SCs are only deployed when a car is in a dangerous, not quickly recoverable position. The only times I bring out the caution while an incident is in progress are during oval races. Otherwise, a deployment genrally only comes out for a very severe incident, or a car stranted in gravel or on side or parked on course for whatever reason.
This is the second time you have argued that a SC should have been deployed for an incident you were in, that clearly was not severe enough to warrant it. We respectfully ask that you cease and desist this kind of arguing immediately.
