@HeerBommel.. thats ok. As i wrote difficult for backmarkers. Many blue flags were shown to them. I know some can get nervous about them..
But BBO wrote it to Ant[UK] as you can see.
I`m gonna miss you for the next race..have a nice holliday..
BBO do you want me to look at it? I would also be pissed off if someone destroyed my race. But it was a small track and as i wrote backmarkers had a very difficult race. But still..you can get penaltys if you destroys a race for anybody..
I think it went well. Backmarkers had a very hard time on this track. I also had a problem with one and he nearly pushed me off..but thats racing..
It could take 10 laps before i saw the tyres in the last chikane..they were simply gone..
But i had a fun race and only rolled once with 6 laps to go in main..illepall
"ANT[uk] - As I said last night after the race, it was not on purpose. If I wanted to push you of, I would have done it a long time before. I still did feel like I could have done something, but after watching the replay, I must confess there were no place for me to go.
I am very sorry for your loss of positions, but I chose to look at it as a race incident - keep driving and giving you an excuse later."
ANT[uk] i looked at the replay on lap 4. Kim was right behind you in the beginning of the "corck screw"...he went to your left hand side on top of the "corck". he was on the curb and nearly along side you with whole of his car. He had no where to go...he couldn`t go further to the left. You should know that he was on your left hand side. You and him touched a little bit and it made you to drive of the track.
Imo its a pure race accident. Kim had no where to go, you could had gone further to your right side to avoid an accident or he could have gone onto the grass to avoid one. If Kim really wanted to push you off he could have done it many times before that, because you and him had some fights. I know Kim as an fair and clean racer (like you) he would never ever do things like that to destroy a race for anybody.
So no penalty imo..but everybody please look at it on lap 4 and give your opinion about it. I think things like that accident happens now and then..
Edit: I now looked at it from Heli view and inside ANT`s car and its a pure race accident. I will not give any penalty in this accident. Sorry ANT[uk]... Cya on Fernbay Club next week... :-)
But you didn`t keep quiet after i told you that some penaltys would be given, no?:ashamed:
And after i told you to "shut up" you went on and wrote "you started", no? If you had been silent right there you would still have had your third place..that comment did cost you 2 sec and you went from #3 to #5..not very smart..
Maybe i did a mistake by doing my "scchyy" to let all the racers know that chatting would cost seconds, but still you should just have been quiet no matter what.. and after that i could had given my self a 2 second penalty. You are not allowed to chat even somebody else started the chat.. ;-)
Btw...you was the only one who did it..
Just learn that race admin is in charge of the race.
But we had a good race and you are fast and a very clean driver..
Edit: I really tried to get you to keep quiet, otherwise you would have gone on (and maybe lost 60 sec. ) and maybe others would have done the same.
I have explained to [ITEK]YUGO45 in a pm that he has been given a 8 sec penalty for chatting 4 times before the last driver had crossed the finish line. This has taken him from a third place in Sprint race to a fifth place.
I also did 4 chattings. I wrote: "scchhyy" "there will be given some penaltys" "shut up" and a ";-)". As an race admin i only said "schhyy" to warn the drivers against penaltys. I warned Yugo45 by saying this "There will be given some penaltys" but he was not to stop. I then said "shut up" and ended it with a ";-)" to tell him that "shut up" was with a blink in my eye (no hard feelings).
Because i could gain a place in the result if i gave Yugo45 a 8 sec penalty, i decided to give my self a 4 sec penalty.. . This will move me from a third place to the fourth place i got in the race without YUGO45 penaltys. This again will move T7R|BBO up a place from a fourth to a third place.
Maybe i wont allow it in the future.. Resetting the car will still be allowed, but pit by shift+s maybe shouldn`t...but i never thought about it because i wouldn`t use it..
But i think it`s fair to use reset, because we are only here for joy and fun..we are not too serious..
Thx for let me use my brain for the next couple of days..
Its not written in the rules that you are not allowed to reset your car.. I know why you didn`t reset your car, you thought it was the same rules as in OLFSL..
Now there is only "real" race tracks left in the Cup..
HeerBommel and Momentum Frags had got a 2 sec. penalty each for using smileys during the race. But it doesn`t affect the result in the race..
So please remember NOT to use the smileys....and please do not talk untill the last driver has crossed the finnish line, next time i`ll give penaltys for that also... I`ll put this into the rules..
The winner of a Pre-Finale or a Finale will get 25 extra kilos, if he wins both he must carry 50 kg succes ballast for the next race. #2 will get 20 kilos, #3 15 kilos and #4 10 kilos. You must drive with these extra kilos for the next race and then you are starting all over again..
BTW. Niki...why did you choose the avatar with me on? You promised me to keep the picture in your private album..
Hehe thats racing Hallen.. But i was on the way to at least a third place so i was a little bit devasted when it happend..and there was only two laps left.
But its ok with me...
