Indeed, #04 was quite slow to accelerate, even though the green flag was released. However, I lifted to allow #04 past again, I can't really compromise my race because other drivers won't accelerate when they're supposed to.
But if you gain position,you should then let us pass,and from what you did,it shows that your move was not to avoid a crash or smth,you wanted to gain position,and this is not a proper way to do that.
OK, you read them then completely discarded them. You know you did wrong because you had to come up with an excuse for what you were doing.
Involving your team directly means that it was a contact incident or he unfairly overtook YOUR teams car. It does not affect every team directly, it affects some directly (those involved) and possibly some others indirectly.
MoS passing LLM before the start line, how does that directly affect you?
LRT passing three slow cars under SC, how does that directly affect you?
Car 19 was fully alongside car 17 and had every right to be there; he was making an effort to be slow enough to go side by side, yet you drove as if he wasn't there. Case closed.
1) I don't think that gaining position while going on the grass is fair.
2) I'm not speaking about what happend after this,i'm speaking about your team's racer,passing us on the grass and gaining position by that move.
I know that you guys at SCP love using screenshots to prove points in protests, so I'll give you a screenshot or two.
In the first screenshot it shows you coming out of the final corner with us immediately behind you. Your driver is in the process of lifting off the throttle, before his tires are off the curb he is completely off the throttle.
The second screenshot shows the distance, less than a car length, 2.08 meters to be precise.
Your driver lifted in a full throttle zone with another car less than a car length behind him and contact was made, then you proceeded to protests against the car that hit you?
Are.
You.
Insane?
Edit: Actually I'm not done, I'll tell the story from our point of view as well.
I wasn't actually watching remote at the time, but when I opened it up I saw Randy did a time 5 seconds slower than his best, I asked him "what happened?" and he said "I hit a slow SCP car by the pit entrance." He also then called me to take over the car because his tires flat spotted from sliding around, when we had planned on doing 5-6 more laps.
Your driver's daft maneuver of lifting off the throttle right in front of someone else ended up costing us time and caused us to have to change our strategy around a bit, if anyone should be protesting anyone, we should have protested you.
I just had a look at this, while checking the replay for safety car causes, and I see your car starting to fly into the air (I hope you filed a flight plan :razz in between the two kerbs, and the tyre was rolling well out of the path where your car would have been. I'm going to throw this one down to lag. If you still have your local replay so we can see what you saw, feel free to post it here, as it could be interesting to see what you saw on your end.
EDIT: Okay, after looking from onboard you, makes what I just said a load of pish. It wasn't any tyres reforming, correct. It wasn't any lag, correct. It was just down to how LFS updates objects. I saw it in Shift+u cam where it probably really would have been had lfs updated all objects all the time fully insteas of all the time fully in view, and some of the time when out of view.
Still, the judgment of no penalty stands; Car 31 did not maliciously hit the tyre stack, and it was just a bit of crap luck that you hit that displaced tyre.
What can I say for E.Team ? This race was a EPIC ... No ! ... A HUGE HYPER MEGA EPIC ... FAIL !!
Taht was the worst race I ever done in LFS in my life ...
Final result is DNF = 0 pts = chanpionnship lost
After watching the replay where there was confusion with Laprevotte just about 7mins left on the race, booth just pushed us while we had to brake because laprevotte was slowing us down pretty much, booth pushing and pushing us and just somehow kept the car on track and booth and saidl passed us.. we might've been 5th without that :l
