I double-checked the rules, nowhere does it say that using a handbrake is not allowed.
Im using a joystick next to me as the handbrake, and pulling it up about 30% and having full throttle gives the exact same effect as using the footbrake, except im not braking the front wheels and dont have the brakelights on.
I can understand that you didn't like the sudden slowdown Terzic did, but not allowing something that isn't allowed in the rules? Cmon.

We didnt slow more than a couple of km/h when using axis handbrake. Then Alen pressed the wrong button and pressed handbrake for like 0.5 sec. That is the only thing that might be discuss-able, the rest has been just like everyone else. So saying we did 3 times in a row, is not true.

yeah, as said. The last thing can be discussed. But he then didnt do it on purpose, so THATS understandable. What I dont understand is the people in IRC saying we did it 3 times a row. But on the last one, yes, that wasnt very nice, and we didnt mean to. So sorry about that Joe.

exactly

It only happend this once. And I understand the penalty if thats the case, because of that incident, but not if it includes the other restarts, as they have been perfect
