Moderator's Report

Server replay time: 2s

Ken runs into the back of Mike Wrightson at Maggotts, spinning Mike off the track.

This looks bad until you see that the car ahead of Mike (Paul Thurston) suddenly backs off quite early. Paul's car is unfortuntely hidden from Mike at this precise moment and so Ken has no chance to anticipate the chain reaction that occurs. Mike has to lift to avoid hitting Paul and Ken goes into the back of him. While Ken might have shown a bit more care at this point, I feel many drivers would have been caught out in the same situation. As a result a warning seems a fair assessment.


Server replay time: 3s

The cars ahead brake much earlier than TT and he misses his braking point and runs wide into Don, damaging his car and effectively ending his race.

Ross, in front of TT, did brake very early, but TT should have shown more care here on lap 1 at what is possibly the most likely point for a crash on the circuit. He also had a decent gap to the car ahead but failed to react, so much so that he actually hit the next car. Drivers need to expect those ahead to be braking slightly early on lap 1 and so should be prepared to do the same thing. The penalty is mitigated by one place due to the early braking of the cars ahead.


Server replay time: 3s

Andy Purdy moves across into Mike Wrightson when avoiding a slowing Don (damaged after contact with TT).

Although Don did slow down, it was not by a great amount and Andy had plenty of time to assess the situation and react. I am unclear whether Andy knew if Mike was there, but either way he shouldn't have moved over.

Two things might have avoided this incident. The spotter works on road courses as well as ovals, so please use this very useful aid - it would have told andy there was a car alongside. Mike could also perhaps have anticipated Don slowing and moved right to allow Andy room in case he did move across.


Server replay time: 5s

Paul Thurston Clips Dan Minton braking for the hairpin and spins Dan off the track, damaging his car.

This is similar to the TT/Don incident, but Paul had less time to react. Dan clearly brakes very early, earlier in fact than pretty much every other driver in the front half of the field. Paul on the other hand leaves it very late and then locks up when he sees Dan brake. He nearly avoids Dan but clips his wheel.

Since Paul brakes at the same place as several of the leaders, it is hard to say that he didn't brake early enough. Dan was more than 10 mph slower than the quickest cars at the same point, and I think this was the main reason for the contact. However, Paul didn't react quickly enough to Dan braking, at a time when he should have been expecting it. As a result a reduced penalty seems the right call.




Server replay time: 5s

Paul Thurston runs wide into Brooklands and rejoins on the outside. Ken Murray is just behind and battling Gazza. Ken runs a bit wide too and lets Gazza down the inside, forcing him to stay wide. He then runs out to the exit curb, not realising that Paul is there and they collide. Paul's car then mates rather forcibly with Ken's, but fortunately there are no little skippies resulting ;-)

I see this much as the drivers do - an unfortunate racing incident, where neither driver knew the other was there nor expected them to be in that part of the track at that moment. Just one of those things.

  • Racing incident


Server replay time: 22s

Noel Kellett misses his braking point at the hairpin and hits Adam Parle.

Not much to add here, other than to say that being behind another car with no chance of an overtake you need to be extra careful to brake in time.

  • Noel Kellettpenalty — Rear end shunt — 2 places lost


Server replay time: 574s

TT is chasing Rob Burton into the hairpin. He gets no overlap under braking but tries to slide down the inside as Rob leaves a small gap, but runs wide and into Rob.

This move was never on as the gap was always going to close unless Rob was intimidated enough to leave the door open. He didn't and was quite entitled to turn in. TT should have been prepared to back out if this happened but was already committed. There really is no excuse for this.

They are £25 off this week at Overclockers, bringing them down to, well not really much less than the staggering amount they are normally selling for! Undecided

Brian intimated in another thread, that if you already owned a G25 and it was not performing as it did when it was new, then it might be worth contacting Logitech and it wasn't unknown for them to offer you a G27 at half price.

Yup. My shinny new G27 is sitting in the house for when I get home today.

I had a little guilt trip about it as the wobble on my G25 really is not much to complain about.

It's not perfect but it has made no difference to my driving.

I better highlight mine was free as my G25 was still in within warranty.

I did read outside warranty they have offered a G27 at half price to G25 owners.

The incidents from this race have now been moderated (see top). We decided to review all the car contact and also to impose penalties when required even when drivers requested that a penalty not be applied. Please pm me if you have any issues with the moderation.

Huge work here, Paul. I apologize to everyone for my jackbutt driving. I feel iR is too different from GTR2, so I'm now in the period of tranzition and evaluating my place in iR - at least here.  Undecided

Even so, there is one thing I have to say: never, and I mean never, in 12 UKGTR Seasons did I ever answer anyone's pm - no matter how xxxxxx angry I was at the time - with a report. I answered first, after cooling down, then wrote a report. To be clear: any incident deserves a report.

xyz: tried to add something sensible without sounding like a whine, but it didn't come out the right way. So: add whatever you like here. Wink
