I'm not sure if you're just joking around but I think that's a little uncalled for. 👎
@Biffy - bad luck. Don't let it put you off.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Actually I'm quite pleased that I got moved up now.
Cheers Biffy. 👍
You can say the same for posting a dirty lap and also deliberately posting dirty splits.
That's against the spirit too, am I correct?
Deliberately driving on the razor's edge and going for it in the submissions hoping for a green flag ain't called a good sport (again feel free to correct me), it's called desperation to win.
Sorry, it's harsh but that's the way I see it.
I really did not see the humour in your comment, definitely in bad taste. I'm pretty sure I acknowledged my mistake, accepted it, said sorry, and moved on? So why are you still bringing up? I'm fully aware now that it was a bad idea, as Kevin said, it doesn't require further discussion.
And I'm sorry, but your post just stinks of bitterness. I didn't just look at my lap and think "oh that's dirty but I'll submit just for the hell of it" as you seem to be implying. I did take time to review it, I made very sure there was absolutely no contact with that fence, and there wasn't. I knew it was very close, yes, but my understanding is, if there is no contact with the walls/fences that has a physical effect on the car, then it is clean. And I still think that now. I didn't "hope" for a green flag, I felt it was clean so I submitted. After at least half of day of practising and getting those splits, do you really think I would just throw my lap away because it was close? If I considered it dirty I wouldn't have submitted that time. Easy.
And I'm aware of the 'spirit' in the WRS. I love it, the camaraderie around here is great, it's why I'd like to stick around because most people are very friendly. But I really do not understand the point you are trying to make? I am competitive, no doubt about that, sometimes it rears it's ugly head and irks people, I really don't intend to do that, it's just a part of my personality. And I won't lie. I want to win, but that doesn't mean I expect to win, neither do I try to bend the rules as much as I can as you seem to be implying. I'm not "desperate to win" either, I won't stand for that lazy assumption. I'm pretty sure that one of the objectives of the WRS is to get the fastest times you can achieve, and learn from those who are faster than you. I don't try to disrespect anyone atall, that definitely the opposite of what I want to do, but I'm not going to dumb down my driving just because you don't like it.
No speed drop in the datalogger, no. To be honest, I reviewed that bend 4 or 5 times and failed to get a shot that would prove without doubt there was contact. Viper's pictures look more damning than any I got but I think it may still be best to get the admins to review and discuss it. We have previously allowed a lap that had mirror contact but did that set a precedent for ignoring the mirrors as part of the car? I would't like to say that exactly but for msyelf, I'd already decided to call it clean because I couldn't 'get the shot'. Then again, the rules also state that if you're not sure a lap is clean, consider it dirty... and Biffy must've known it was borderline. I was also very close on that corner but after checking my own replay there at least 10 times, none of my shots looked like contact could occur.
Yeah, like I said above, I was aware it was borderline but very sure that it was clean.
I know it was close but I was quite sure it was clean, there was definitely no wall contact. When I checked the lap on the replay, I did not see the car go through the poles either.. sucks to get red-flagged because of a dodgy mirror
and that is twice in 6 WRS combos, what a horrible record.
