You are wrong again, and you are still not listening. As I mentioned at the start of the day, it's not about the points any more, it's the principal of how this has all been handled and the complete lack of consistency. Sorry to say this but it also comes across heavily as favouritism towards team members.
I've explained in detail the scenarios of the incidents that I was involved in and if consistency is put through all of them, then there is no way I would suffer any further than my fifth place finish.
Furi incident, Not my fault, pictures to follow and again the proximate cause of all else that follows (other than the next aspect)
Litchi's intentional attempts to slow me down unfairly (pics to follow)
My spin with Litchi 50/50 (with pics to follow)
My exiting the pits (accepted I crossed the yellow line, as did Mule, before I got collected - simple case of following the leader and having plenty of slow cars around track)
Incident with Matty (out of my control due to unloading and in previous races would be deemed as a racing incident).
It is ridiculous and laughable that I am the only person to get penalised. Completely unjustified.
Either penalise everybody, or penalise nobody.
You can not blame everything that happened in the last 23 laps of the race on the wreck between you and Furi on lap 77. You can't know for sure what would have or would not have happened had the wreck on lap 77 not happened. All we have to go on is what actually happened. And with everything that happened, there is more than enough blame to go around.
After the wreck on lap 77, Furi slowed down and waited for you in the trioval when most other drivers would have been glad to drive off and finish 3rd all on their own. Furi opted to drop back anyway, and he helped you catch back up to Litchi. Then, Furi and Litchi both helped push you all the way back to the lead pack. So, the wreck with Furi had no lasting effect on your race, as you were still in the lead pack with less than 5 laps to go. Saying these two guys single-handedly ruined your race is selective remembering, as these two guys also single-handedly rescued your race, when they had absolutely no obligation to do so.
Also, you were going to have to pit again either way, as you and Mule just didn't take enough fuel to finish the race on your last scheduled pit stop. Compare everyone's fuel after lap 70, and you can see who had enough and who didn't, especially if you know exactly how many liters of fuel are spent per lap. You just didn't have enough. Saying that you would have had enough fuel if you hadn't wrecked is a guess, and is still not "evidence" that a racing incident with one person can be blamed for you having to pit.
Your illegal exit from the pits, however, definitely caused you to be collected on lap 100, and directly caused the wreck that occurred with Matty, as you blamed the damage from that first accident for the later incident.
As for Litchi slowing you down, I'll be glad to penalize him. How much time did he actually set you back? 2, 3 seconds total? Let's totally overshoot it and call it 5 seconds lost. I'll penalize him 3x more than he cost you, so let's add 15 seconds to Litchi's final time (a points penalty is silly for a NW driver).
But, if we're going to penalize Litchi, we're going to penalize everyone for everything, right?
You and Litchi had a wreck that was caused by you driving down on the apron when there wasn't enough room to get safely under Litchi. That wreck is 50/50 at worst, so should I penalize both of you, or call it a racing incident?
Mule got a 1 point penalty for exiting the pits before the yellow line, right? Does it sound fair that you now get the same penalty for committing the exact same offense at the exact same time?
For the Matty incident, everyone that saw it has said that it
looked intentional. Mule said it in PM (as did Tom and Matty, who both registered a PM complaint). Carb said it in the thread. I also thought it at least looked suspicious, but I was willing to take you at your word when you said it wasn't intentional in your PM. However, everyone that saw it said it looked like you steadily climbed the banking after the damage unloaded, driving directly in front of Matty the entire way in an attempt to block him. I would say that's worth at least the same 15 second penalty I applied to Litchi for slowing down another car. You definitely did a better job of slowing down Matty than Litchi did to you, right?
So, if we apply all earned penalties evenly, what actually changes? You and Litchi both get 15 second penalties for holding up another car's forward progress (when both of you swore via PM that it was completely innocent and unintentional), so that's a wash. Matty is going to pass you, just like before. Mule is going to lose a point, just like before. Furinkazen can lose a point for the lap 77 wreck, but he's not in the Chase, and it really wouldn't affect him much either way. But, you are going to get how many more penalties instead of a gifted point from Mule?
Is this how I should set the standings when I count the laps tonight?
