UKGTL Season 6 GT Classics Cup - Oulton Park (Island) - Aug 21

[Jeffrey]

Hey Jeff, not true... I also like long walks on the beach and poking dead stuff with a stick!

LOL, just a warning before hand, Germans like to lie in self dug holes, they are not dead however . But, be my guest in poking them with a stick .

No I don't agree. This is about racing etiquette which is not something you should get penalised for having or not having. It's down to the moral fibre of the individual.
Unlike accidents caused by bad driving which I would have no problem reporting.

Ok, but first point here is that as we have said on numerous occasions, the incident report system is not there as a primary source of PUNISHMENT, but as a tool to help highlight and help rectify any instances of errors, bad driving, lack of etiquette or simple rule breaking. The 'Moral Fibre' that you mention....I bet yours differs from mine and mine differs from Jeff's and SBG's differs from Dave's etc etc etc.
There are a set of rules and guidelines that we all have read and understand, these cover race etiquette and what level of conduct is expected and required, so if you, or anyone else feels these are not being adhered to then incident reports should be made without hesitation....how else can the mod team try to rectify them?

My second point is,

If I accidently hit another car and they lose it as a consquence

....even accidently hitting another car should be reported....especially if it then causes a 'loss of etiquette' from the involved driver. An Accident is an incident after all and should be reported as such....once again not with the intention of handing out a penalty, but to highlight the how's why's and wherefor's of the accident and try to prevent a recurrance.

Had a clean'ish start, saw a Falcon come past me down the hill at warp factor 12 ! no way he has ever gonna make the corner!
Only just brushed me so that was lucky!

@ Psuedo, Ok understood. I'll submit a eye witness report tonight.

[jimmer]

sorry Steve for getting in your way when you were lapping me. i saw you coming and moved over .have looked on the replay and the car turned on the raise to the hairpin and i basically swerved in front of you .my fault

I myself got a CTD decided to call it a night

Got CTD-ed twice during practice

but when I went to the grid it CTD.

I got the CTD in praccy and rejoined somewhere in a swamp

Same here... somehow I hit rock bottom

I also got CTD'd twice in practice. Never happened to me before at any track. Got in a right panic when it was happening that I might miss the race!

That was related to the lack of garages I guess? Thats entirely down to me I'm afraid, sorry. I did mention that I was unhappy that some lost out and wondered if something should be done as a result but, as no one has commented, I guess we are happy for result to stand. Its a shame that a lot of the add on GB tracks have limited garages (realistic  ) even though they can accommodate large grids. We could keep entries number higher knowing the race will be ok but we believe the grief that happened last night is best avoided so will limit grids in future. If it goes any lower than 25, which hasn't happened yet, we will not use that track.

No worries Jimmer, like I said, it was a tight track and hard work for the lapper and the lappee.

I can't remember whether it was you, but I did get in a right pickle lapping someone, meant to flash the lights, left them on, then thought I'd engaged the pit limiter cause the car stopped accelerating, changed my LCD mode several times as I forgot all the button mappings in the heat of the moment and finally after some seconds realized I hadn't changed up from 3rd to 4th and that was why I'd stopped accelerating.  Doh!   Total senior moment, panic set in.

So the 'lights on for ages' wasn't actually intentional.

[Gothwitch]

They could be a tad busy!

Just to say sorry to anyone who got involved with my spin on the second lap. I got a back wheel on the grass & around the Falcon went & unfortunately ended up in the middle of the track. I think Pseudo & Spanner were two that got involved, sorry guys. So for the second week running I had to work my way back up the field, only managing 10th this week though, & that was courtesy of Syd running out of fuel on the last lap!

Apart from the spin it was a good race, thanx all.

Cya at Watkins Glen.

Can I post a report.... I think I cracked a rib laughing as No Brake Drake shot past my other half at 'this is going to hurt' speed just before the jiggly bit (technical term) causing him to soil himself slightly!!!

[Wiltshire Tony]

@ Gothwitch, I think your report's should be compulsory reading after every race.

[Gothwitch]

Yep.. thinking of putting myself forward as moderator... The said car drove straight up his trumpet like a looney.. penalty death!!

Sounds to me like two incident reports should be submitted
