Division 1 - Season 6

Theres some serious quotation issues going on here
Both were rage quits yes. Cagm within the same lap he plowed into coojak and took SPL for a trip, and then Konnor who got sick of his sunbaking tyres, parked in the pits but then left anyway.
I think rage quits should be deemed as a Zero, but it can be used as a drop. After all, with a drop round in Round 1 they have nothing to fall back on later in the season if it goes wrong, so it's a penalty in itself.

I wouldn't throw cagme under the bus mate, he didn't exactly plow into them. He would of pulled off a pretty good move if it wasn't for the magnet effect.
They got caught napping braking very early into t2 he shot up the inside probly using his normal brake marker and made the apex for the corner easy. But got stuck to whoever it was and couldn't turn. Blame the game.

I know where you are coming from Slambo but the first 2 lines of the drivers briefing is stated as...
1. After some prac races this week, if you are mid pack or farther back, BRAKE EARLY so you dont create chaos at Turn 1 !
2. REDRESS if you make contact. When following other cars you NEED TO BRAKE A LITTLE EARLIER so you dont drive up the tailpipe of the car in front ! Use your heads please !
He knew he had issues with his wheel off the line but still went hard at it. I wouldn't say I was napping but adhering the driving standards on lap 1 of 20. Had he of just tried to pass me there would have been no issue as there was plenty of room on the inside and it would have been a clean pass but he tried to get greedy and take 2 places to compensate for his slow start off the line. If we all used our usual brake marker into turn 2 then only Beau would have make it out cleanly. Either intentionally or not he made contact with 2 cars causing incident and made no attempt to redress. I'm sure Stu doesn't write these driver's briefings for the fun of it.

i know im retired so take my opinion as you will, but isnt this why we dont play these things out in the public eye?

Protests are not to be mentioned in the public eye unless released by a Mod.
There are no protests in this situation and is more of a debate of how the opening lap went compared to how it was directed it should of gone. I wasn't throwing anyone under a bus, just explaining reasoning behind why it appears as a Rage Quit for him rather than a dsc.

Yes, my bad I should have kept my mouth shut. I respect each and every driver on the grid but was just frustrated with the situation. I have nothing else to say on the matter.

nah mate i dont mean it like that. more so to point out a flaw in the penalty system. so, assuming what i have read is correct, because Cagme didnt finish, his actions go unpunished, even though it ruined 2 peoples races. therefore if an offence is commited and then the offender rage quits, why dont we make the punishment roll over. otherwise someone who doesnt think theyll do too well has less to lose by taking people out.

I would like to think that nobody here would take advantage of that situation and there is a distinction between mistakes and purposeful reckless driving.
Had he finished the race in front of us there may have been a protest appealing for a time penalty to try and pick up that extra position but by quitting out of the race this negated the position loss to us effectively redressing the incident, although we lost track position and the pack he had also served a penalty or sorts.

@stucar17 all good man was a bit annoyed last night. Was the first time since no tune series that I didn't take tyres and just wrecked all my practice and good first stint. I'll do a pit strat reset if I don't take tyres again.

I do agree Take it easy for turn 1 then everyone should have there marks for t2 and it's game on.
And yeah probly should of redressed but i don't Think it was reckless at all just got caught out by being off line and early braking.

Anyways.. who's keen for some laps tonight

Well I wasn't going to comment due to the possibility that it would blow up into a heated argument but given it already has I may as well put my side of the story out there....

1) I wasn't aware off the line that my FFB was playing up. Me pulling to the left off the line was an error on my part as a result of a lack of practice getting this car off the line and managing the boost in 1st gear.

2) I realised my FFB was playing up after T1. But given my long absence from the game I had forgotten just how unplayable the game is with the glitch as I had intended to continue and see the race out. But after T2, 3 and 4 I knew doing 20 laps with a wheel in that state would be painful if not potentially damaging to the wheel and as a result decided to quit out of the lobby.

3) As for the T2 incident I saw it as Slambobagan saw it. Both SPL and Cookjak were going awfully slow out of T1 so I went for the easy pass. I pulled it up comfortably for the corner but as soon as Cookjak and I made side to side contact we were both simply passengers to the magnet effect. In trying to get off Cookjak I turned heavily to the right which is why I cut across the track once I was released from Cookjak. I deemed the contact with cookjak a racing incident hence why I continued to drive off. However upon reflection I should have redressed the contact with SPL as that was no fault of his own.

I'm not too worried whether it's a drop round or not, I'm here to try and have some fun. As for the before pits tyre glitch....first time it's ever happened to me but in another series I run it has happened before

Make sure your back for next race Konnor. So much better having you there!
( I haven't taken anybody out for a while, you could be the perfect candidate!)
