There was no overtake presented at the stated sector and time. Protest dismissed.




Car 61's Teemu Soini violated the 75% rule by 11.76%. The team has been deducted 24 laps to account for the overage.


The following drivers were on multiple team rosters at the same time; and both races for the later team, so will have all of their laps disallowed:

Sampsa Jurvansuu (Joku123) 105 laps
Tomek Nogieć (IMOL) 115 laps




For repeat actions over the race weekend of unsporting behaviour, while on probation for same offence; Tomek Nogieć (IMOL) is excluded from all New Dimension Racing events until 21 June 2014 (6 months). The right to appeal this penalty is revoked due to the egregious violation of sporting behaviour during the race weekend. The probationary period remaining will resume at the conclusion of the suspension, plus 12 months.
Quote from dekojester :For repeat actions over the race weekend of unsporting behaviour, while on probation for same offence; Tomek Nogieć (IMOL) is excluded from all New Dimension Racing events until 21 June 2014 (6 months). The right to appeal this penalty is revoked due to the egregious violation of sporting behaviour during the race weekend. The probationary period remaining will resume at the conclusion of the suspension, plus 12 months.

Upon further review, self-initiated discussion with Mr. Nogieć, as well as discussions with other uninvolved drivers but being familiar to the situation, I have self-initiated a revision of this judgement.

It is as follows:
  • The right to appeal this decision by Mr. Nogieć is hereby reinstated;
  • The exclusion is suspended Until Further Notice, retroactive to 21 December 2013 (None of the suspension shall be considered served nor applied);
  • Mr. Nogieć is retroactively assigned a 6-month extension on his current probation set to expire on 21 January 2014, making it set to expire on 21 July2014;
  • Ray Kingsbury (Bmxtwins) is retroactively placed on a 6-month's suspended until futher notice exclusion from all NDR events for the same offence as the initial penalty against Mr. Nogieć;
  • Ray Kingsbury is retroactively placed on a 12-month's NDR Probation, set to expire on 21 December 2014 for the offence;
  • Ray Kingsbury is prohibited from making further appeals or protests to the administration regarding unsporting conduct or this decision until further notice. No person shall make such a protest to the administration on his behalf at this time.
The reason for this unprecedented restriction on Mr. Kingsbury is due to his repetitive and incessant complaints to the administration via multiple means of communication and the general public in NDR regarding this issue along with other issues over the course of the past few years. It has caused excessive delays in other tasks the administration are obliged to take care of. He has been found to not be free of blame in this specific incident.

All drivers are reminded that you are expected to behave in a manner that is the highest standard of behaviour and sportsmanship to their fellow competitors and administrators.

You are expected to make attempts to solve personal squabbles as mature people, with those you have the quarrel with. Contacting NDR to solve your problems for you is an extreme last resort, used when the aforementioned attempts have not been successful.

Each element of this decision may be cancelled on a case-by-case basis on offering to the administration of proof that the issue that caused this action has been resolved in a mature, polite way.
