Moderator's Report

A win in the Grads by Bartosz with Tom leading the championship after six races. Some issues raised re following cars (see below).


Server replay time: 0h01m38s

Bob (Baab) and Hristo.
Hristo is following Bob into big bend when Hristo collides into the rear of Bob. It should be noted Bob braked slightly earlier then normal (less then one second) the reason given that this was lap one with cold tyres and full fuel and he was being extra cautious. This is a perfectly feasible reason and the braking does not appear to be dangerously early.

The rules have this;
"In all cases, the following car is responsible for maintaining a safe gap and the driver needs to be cognizant of the possibility of the lead car slowing for no apparent reason."

Simple Rear End Shunt: Penalty 1 Place
The victim was in full control but braked early (not counting lap 1) compared with the average for the division. The shunter had not followed the victim at a safe distance for a lap or two. The shunter was in full control.

Technically, in view of the above wording, being a lap one incident could put this into Blatant territory however a penalty of 1 place (plus 1 for a lap one incident) is deemed enough in this instance.

  • Hristo Itchovpenalty — Simple Rear End Shunt — 2 places lost


Server replay time: 0h14m57s

Hristo and Rick.
Hristo is following Rick into the loop. Rick is not 100% in control of his car but would have made it through. Hristo hits the rear of Rick. At this point I would like to quote an excerpt from the recommended driver behaviour;

"Never run into the back of someone in front of you. This is probably one of the silliest things one driver can do to another. There’s few excuses here. If you are behind then you have the responsibility to drive in a manner that will not lead to you running into a car ahead. It doesn't matter if you're faster, think you have the right to be let by, are more talented, or think that all slower drivers should not hold up faster drivers. If you're behind someone then that's your tough luck. You have to earn your pass the same as anyone. However frustrated you may be, or whatever, it is your responsibility not to run into the car in front of you. Even if their braking zones occur earlier than yours would normally, then tough luck. You have to anticipate these possibilities and drive accordingly."

It is noted that Rick was not fully in control therefore the rules have this;

Simple Rear End Shunt: Penalty 1 Place
The victim had partially lost control before contact and consequently his line was unusual. The shunter was in full control.

  • Hristo Itchovpenalty — Simple Rear End Shunt — 1 place lost

Moderator's Report

A maiden win in the Privateers for Fabio puts him in with a shot at the title, well done. This leaves Bernie, Ronnie and Fabio the toppermost of the poppermost.


Server replay time: 0h06m42s

Ronnie hits Paul Badblood while attempting to pass. On the face of it this leans towards an ambitous overtake scenario.
However, Ronnie was much faster (the rules have this; 'Some discretion may be afforded if there was a vast difference in ability between the drivers'), and it appears to be a case of confusion by both parties. Paul had no intention of resisting Ronnie but both appear to have misread each other as to which side the pass was going to be. That said the onus is always on the overtaking driver and perhaps he should have considered backing off until the upcoming straight.

Under the circumstances a caution to Ronnie to take extra care when passing a slower driver is appropriate.


Server replay time: 0h11m11s

Fabio goes to pass Hannah and ends up alongside him going into the corner. There is a contact of sorts. Contact in that Hannah is knocked out BUT on both the server and Fabio's replay he cannot be held to be fully aware of any impact and carries on as normal. Normally this could be construed as warp contact but, in this instance, the contact appears inevitable. Hence, discounting warp as a scenario, there was an opportunity to Hannah's right and Fabio can be seen in his mirrors pulling out and dissappearing ie Hannah must assume Fabio is on his right approaching the turn.

Therefore this seems most appropriate;
"Contested Side by Side contact: Racing Incident
In a corner, after a legitimate overtaking attempt the cars end up side by side. Both drivers move over instead of staying on their own side of the track. Contact is made. Racing Incident."

Admittedly Fabio did not move over as such but it would not seem appropriate to penalise Hannah ('In a corner, after a legitimate overtaking attempt the cars end up side by side. One driver moves over instead of staying on their own side of the track. Contact is made. Penalty for driver that moves over') in this instance.

Onto our first race after the xmas break, Tom V O leads the Works with Hristo and John R in equal second. In Privateers Bernie and Ronnie are pulling a gap in what promises to be an exciting second half.

Subject to a viable number of entrants we are running two separate grids for Works and Privateers drivers this season. The Works will run on PRO Damage and Privateers will run on Intermediate Damage with the allowance of ONE shift-R reset. No Shift-Rs are allowed in practice unless authorized by the moderator. A Shift-R (fault or not) MUST be followed by a Stop & Go. A Shift-R for tyres/fuel is not allowed. Any driver taking more then ONE Shift-R OR failing to take a Stop & Go will be disqualified from the race result.

Race List = IGOR
Server(s);
Works = UKGPL_5
IP address = ping myjamesonline.net
Privateers = UKGPL_T7_2
IP address = 62.149.202.168
Race date = 09-01-2011
Time = 21:00 UK time
Track = Watkins Glen
Variant = 67F1
Damage Model = Works; PRO / Privateers; INT
Qualifying time = 35 minutes. Don't start until 30 mins left on clock to allow everyone to join.
Race length = 50 minutes (laps 45)
Password: see above

Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page
The track can be downloaded from : original papy track
Add-on’s available at : http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3620

Please be in IGOR UKGPL chatroom by 8:50 pm UK Time

Reserve drivers should not join the server(s) until there are only 30 minutes of qualifying left. Please restrict chat to pit messages. Moderating will be by reported incidents only, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident with a particular emphasis on lap one. The aim is to review the race the following weekend so incident reports should be submitted within five days of the race (ie the following Friday). We're hopeful most incidents can be resolved amicably and recommend a days deep breath with a replay review before posting. A sorry in the forum won't be taken as an automatic admission of guilt by the moderators.
The Works will run on PRO Damage and Privateers will run on Intermediate Damage with the allowance of ONE shift-R reset. No Shift-Rs are allowed in practice unless authorized by the moderator. A Shift-R (fault or not) MUST be followed by a Stop & Go. A Shift-R for tyres/fuel is not allowed. Any driver taking more then ONE Shift-R OR failing to take a Stop & Go will be disqualified from the race result.

With the token system chassis strategy will be a factor. A driver must have sufficient tokens for the chassis he drives in the race.  Any driver who does not have sufficient tokens will be disqualified from the result and his tokens will be set to zero.

Chassis costs;
Lotus 20 / Eagle 17 / Ferrari 15 / Brabham 10 / Cooper 5 / Honda 3 / BRM 0

To see your current tokens hover your mouse over your total points on the championship standings page. Ten tokens will be added when you cross the start line.

The Championship is split into two sub-divisions, namely Works and Privateers. The driver split will be;

WORKS drivers
Kinghiro (R)

NOTE: Please ensure you join the correct server, due to the way we import if you start the race on the wrong server your result will not count.


Watkins Glen International ("The Glen") is an auto race track located near Watkins Glen, New York, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for 20 consecutive years (1961–1980). In the early years races passed through the heart of the town with spectators lining the sidewalks, but after a car left the road in a 1952 race, killing one spectator and injuring several others, the race was moved to a new location on a wooded hilltop southwest of town. Later a permanent race course was constructed on 550 acres, overlapping part of the previous course. Despite improvements, the circuit became unable to safely handle the increasingly faster and stiffer ground effect cars of the late 70s and a few horrendous, sometimes fatal accidents and increasingly rowdy segments of the crowd began to tarnish its image. Finally, in May, 1981, several months after Alan Jones had won the 1980 race for Williams, the International Auto Sports Federation removed the race from its schedule because the track had failed to pay its debts to the teams.

I never get to beat those pesky Ailiens, and rarely even grab a tow, unless generously offered one, which then quickly disappears.  They've plenty to spare, you know - there's no need of a reminder . . .  grumble!

Watkins Glen is not one of my favourites either, I don't know why, but I usually struggle around here in the Waza with my rear tyres on fire after 5 laps, so there should be a good smokescreen behind me if i last 45 laps!!   Grin

Time to blow to cobwebs and resume battle this season. It'll be my birthday on the 9th so you all must allow me to win  Cheesy. I've always liked the Glen, and drove the race of my life here back in S18. I'll just hope not to crash at The Loop on lap 1  Roll Eyes.

Can't decide what to drive as I normally have terrible luck at Watkins. I either manage the podium or crash and burn  Roll Eyes

It's my birthday then too Sam so perhaps the privateers will let me take top spot Smiley

Turned out to be too much of a liability on this one. Internet lag on 3G/HSDPA is a lot worse than I anticipated, and the Honda was a wild beast that I couldn't tame.

Probably out for Brno too as have done no practice at the place and don't know the track.

really looked forward to this race and did some practice. pleased with my 105.17. qual.took a defensive line into the bend l2. the gap to the car behind was big enough and I brake a bit early and soft. smashed out.I was in a 50 50 desicion to just stick to left and let myself be outbraked.Just a tad closer and I would done that. too dangerous to defend there the hole race but I would see if I could shake him off first.If I braked on the ideal line he would very likely be in my blindspot when it was time to turn in. I wanted him in my mirrors. that was my desicion this time anyway.ofc that brings in the danger of getting smashed ,but I thought the gap was big enough.maybe next lap if the situation was the same I would have gone wide. I was "supposed " to go faster than him should do low 6 s in the early laps. anyway if not, I would have let him pass a lap or two later if he kept getting attackpositions(learned something from my very defensive driving early at zeltweg amateurs some months ago Wink ).will my dnf s never stop? 8 in a row if I count in the race I finished with bent wheel for 10 laps. Used some hours to modify my gearstick too and it doesn t slip out of third anymore. Didn t help much tonight, but in the long run It s good to have one less thing to worry about.
oh yes...the start was fun. my teammate bart had a real nice 5.12 q and we went out side by side.I took a wideline that made me loose so much speed that tom passed me.exciting yet  clean start.Smiley .
