GT-Sport [Completed] Super Production Championship Cup

I left the series because of similar incidents. won a similar protest in fact. someone didn't learn from it and someone else moved on

At the request of the mods, I won't give a commentary on the incident, but I'll quickly remark on the rules of motorsport.

See Appendix L of the International Sporting Code, Chapter IV: Code of Driving Conduct on Circuits, clause 2(b), page 46:

https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/appendix_l_2021_publie_le_16_decembre_2020.pdf

This is a very famous rule due to Fernando Alonso's radio message at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2012. Nico Rosberg purportedly blocked Alonso right up against the edge of the track, however Rosberg was not penalised as a car is permitted to defend the full width of the track so long as it is the first and only defensive manoeuvre. The rules are clear and unambiguous that you must leave a car's width of space when you return to the racing line:

"Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off-line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."

"ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A SPACE"

The full text of the section Crunch refers is as follows, the last sentence is pertinent:

b) Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be carried out on either the right or the left. A driver may not leave the track without justifiable reason. More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position offline, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner.

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited. Any driver who appears guilty of any of the above offences will be reported to the Stewards.​

AKA - if someone is next to you on the track, don't push them off? Leave room if they're beside you on the track?

Essentialy, yes

Ballast, rooms and car lists for tomorrows race
I can host room 1
Can I get a volunteer to host room 2 please?
We will merge if 16 or less.

People were quick to question my weight last week but they failed to tell me I was also under power. Had no chance

Feel free to add weight or reduce power at any time

No worries I might as well drop some more power and add more weight tonight seeing as I'm so quick in this series

I can host a room if still required.

Being serious though, whoever noticed your weight probably didn't bother to check the power as it's only the weights that change week to week.

I hope everyone has noted there is a game update that needs to be done before the race. Takes a while with the usual copying time

Argh crap, just got home and saw this. Thanks for the heads up

I’m out cause internet issues
