Moderator's ReportA terrific start to the season at a pretty tough track for the Novices. Some close racing and very few incidents for the Novice moderator ;) Server replay time: 0h00m37s Rotaxmax blows his engine off the line but then omits to visit the pits after the enforced Shift-R. He later blows another engine and retires voluntarily.
Server replay time: 0h03m13s Badblood loses his steering wheel and pedals and thus slows markedly as he avoids the polos and congratulates himself on keeping going Johnnyboy re-appears after a healthy a dose of warp. Unfortunately they are both now on the same part of track. Badblood's race on a downward trajectory but Johnnyboy recovers very well. Neither driver does anything wrong and this is unfortunate.
Server replay time: 0h26m10s Norm is coming up behind Pierre very fast and looks to dive down the inside to get ahead for the slow section. Pierre does not see Norm coming and takes his normal line. Norm is caught by surprise and brakes heavily to avoid a crash. He then spins. Al is also approaching by now but Norm judges (incorrectly) that he has time to spin the car round. Al avoids Norm by the skin of his teeth but takes a trip across the grass. An abashed Norm lets Al go. I have looked for mitigating circumstances and Norm did the right thing after a misjudgement but nonetheless, without Al taking avoiding action a car-mangling crash would have resulted.
Pierre could have been a little more helpful to Norm by taking a wider line but there were no flags to help him. Slower drivers do need to be aware of the leaders coming through - it is frustrating but when you are a lap down important to stay out of the way if possible.
Norm was approaching the corner at much higher speed than Pierre. His overtake was at a point where the gain was marginal but the downside risk was large. Drivers are reminded that patience is required on a tight twisty track.
