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.

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.

Yes let's bring on Kyalami! I'm down to a 1:19.21 now, although admittedly it's in the Lotus. Did 1:19.60 in the Fez but perhaps there's more there. I just gave the Lotus a quick run to see how fast that time in the Fez really was and it seems it was pretty fast because the Lotus was only faster due to the Cosworth V8 in the back. Still, it boggles the mind how Phil Woodward is able to do a 1:17.72 in the Fez and is able to go even faster in a Lotus! Still, being only a second down on a WTCC Macau race winner isn't too bad even if I do say so myself Grin .

Tom.
