The following topics are sorted by a chronological order, since there are at least two of them equal in importance.
1.: Protests
1.1: 02.05.09, Grand Prix of Westhill:
One race later, 16.05.09, British Grand Prix in South City Town Course:
04 Rudy van Buren removes a competing driver from the grid.
...
No penalty, no warning, no protests, no reaction or consequences at all.
Admins how do u explain this? Satisfying explanation demanded.
1.2: 16.05.09, British Grand Prix in South City Town Course:
- Admin Hynninen: says something concerning the race.
- 04 Rudy van Buren: "Shut up while racing!"
- Admin Hynninen: "Did u even listen to what i said ?!"
- No penalty, no warning, no protests, no reaction or consequences at all.
Admins how do u explain this? Satisfying explanation demanded.
1.3: 2009 Kyoto 500:
1.3.1: 123 Ronald Kasemier is put on probation period for no reason / absolutely nothing. His behaviour throughout the sessions and the race is reproachless.
An apology from the admins for this unexcusable injustice is demanded. Of course the penalty must be canceled.
1.4: Quote from an NDR rulebook: "... the Race Director has the option to recall the Safety Car and restart the race
with not all cars caught up."
The driver, who, unlike the author of this ununderstandably idiotic idea and the race director beeing just as ununderstandably idiotic by supporting it, is not an idiot, has the right to inform both of them about the fact that they are unfair idiots.
so far the formal part.
2.: Critics and improvement suggestions (no order from here on)
2.1: referring to these 2 posts:

I agree on the first part (marked in blue). On the rest i totally disagree, since it sais that we cannot do anything about stupid behaviour. This is as wrong as it gets. It sais that at a certain point a limit is reached and nothing can be done about it. This cannot be it, can it? If you base on that then there will never be improvement. Instead one never must be satisfied and always develop further, become better. This can be done by improving the driving, improving the way of usage of the driving devices and by improving oneself, the way one behaves and interacts. All this can be done without spotters ... seriously ... how low can one's expectations be?
2.2 the ventrilo recording:
Something which actually should be as clear as it gets: FM-Team, it is not about the race director beeing allowed to record or not, it is his duty! He must do everything in favor of an as just as possible management.
2.3 the restrictions:
NDR I would like to ask u something:
- Do u like the dirt FIA, Max Mosley, ... ?
- Do u know that anyone liking them is a piece of dirt?
- Do u want to be among those pieces of dirt?
No? Why do u do the same as them then? This is the introduction for a discussion i would like to have with u. The point are the numberless restrictions u enforce. The arguments against restrictions couldn't be stronger. Just compare the sorry state motorsport is in now with the glorious time until the millenium.
2.4 the pits:
U guys already made a great decision by putting as harmless marks as possible on the track (the cones) which seperate the race area from the pit road and mark the point from where the leader may step down after yellow. Unfortunately even those cones are too dangerous and affect the racing too much. Lines, such as used in other context, would be much better and safer.
2.5: the good:
It always is the trappings which make something better or worse. The programme u guys did for the Kyoto 500 is something truly great. If u ask me there shoud be a special effort put in such trappings. The programme simply is an excellent enrichement to the whole. Just two little things: The grid on page 14 is designed strange. U should have made either only the first row or the first 3 rows big. Then the cars should either show in straight direction or be shown from the side and that going left, not right.
so far for now.
U find it is a lot of hard critics expressed all unmasked and at once? Well I've told u once and I'll tell u again: I only criticise what is important or at least matters to me. I dare dream of NDR becoming much more than it already is.
I'll keep adding things.
with the wish to soon hear about the next oval event
