Mazda Cosmo Sport '68 Twin Ring Motegi Tour *CONGRATS to LITCHI!*

Some great racing tonight, especially with Nic, close & clean fun. A few bumps & nudges throughout the evening, but just mistakes, nothing deliberate. Got taken out of contention for race 2 by someone elses mistake, but like I said, it was just a mistake so no worries.

Lovely car to drive, but not much overtaking action in it, but was fun all the same. Thanks for organising the event Water Melon. Are you gonna do trophies? :D

Guys, sorry I've been busy since the race last night, and want to look at one replay again before imposing penalties, to consider steward reports.
Any details of any penalties will be communicated to all in PMs at the time I post the official results.
I will be posting the results & prob some photomodes :) likely after the cubes races, and after dinner & movie tonight.
IE: Not before 11pm US EDT / 3am GMT
 
I almost took out StreetKing on lap 5 in the last race, sorry for that :guilty:
But after a really nice save through the first corner he could continue as before, thank god. 👍

The car is good fun to drive and all the Motegi courses are very nice tracks.

Penalty Assessments:
Race #4 - VBR incurred a position demotion
Cumulative Total Points Penalties (from multiple races): Litchi - 1pt, John Wells - 1pt, VBR - 8pts, Phouchg - 2pts, watermelonpunch - 2pts, Audiman2011 - 1pt

I used points penalties, because if we did position penalties I would've had to hire a high priced Wall Street Quant to do the math. :lol: :boggled: :rolleyes:
I realize that many incidents in these races were much influenced by the exciting handling of the car :sly: :lol:, and simple excitement in the heat of the race.
This car on these tracks certainly was exciting! :)
But it is important to impose penalties to maintain order, encourage track etiquette, so as not to have snowball effect of erratic driving violations in future events. 👍
Race incidents are part of racing, but so are penalties. :P
