Official Race Report
Incidents:
Brands Hatch seemed to bring out the worst in everyone in Lobby #1
The list of reported racing complaints is long and very time consuming. We are still working on them in a timely manner. You will be notified if you have some involvement concerning the reported incidents.
There was a lot of unnecessary and unacceptable driving behavior from many of us..Me Included. Some of the penalties my seem harsh depending on your involvement but necessary depending on the severity of the offence. We do promote Clean Racing and we will do what's necessary to make that happen.
Brands Hatch is one of my least favorite tracks of all time. I think many might see why now. It's a very difficult track to make clean passes on when the cars are exactly all the same then add in a track that side by side racing is almost nonexistent and chaos is sure to follow.
The biggest issues I seen in reviewing the replays were people just trying to pass in places that were impossible to do cleanly and nobody wanted to give an inch or back off.
Another huge issue that needs to be addressed is the caution flag & cars that are out if control.
To many times people just ignored the caution flag or another car involved in a accident and it caused a mess in 5 separate occasions.
Everyone needs to respect the flags and back off and do not pass until clear. This is just a warning to everyone for now but we will be handing out penalties for this from now on.
As expected there are some growing pains to get through with every Brand New Series but everything will and is starting to improve
Rule modifications:
Anything other than lobby related issues is no longer permitted in the lobby chat. It is becoming a distraction for others and I've missed something important Information from all the chatter going on.
So if it's not important lobby related questions or answers then please keep the gossip to yourself until all 3 races have concluded.
Leaving your car on the track during the race:
First off I don't know why anyone would want to leave their car in the middle of the race track and possibly ruin the race for others but they did & it did.
Two people quit the race #3 after hitting the stuck car in the middle of the track. It absolutely ruined the race for 3 people who were all very upset and had every right to be.
If this happens again and I have to stop the race or quit the race to remove your car then you will not be returning to this Series. There is just no excuse for it.
Another car parked in the sand at turn one in race #3
While this might seem to be a minor issue compared to leaving it on the track its not.
If you decide not to continue with the race that's your choice but we will not tolerate anyone leaving their car parked around the track.
You have three choices
1. Park your car in the pits
2. Pull your car from the race the track altogether.
3. Leave the lobby
Stewart's:
I would like to Welcome Macboyilija as our full time 3rd steward. We can really use the extra help so things are finished in a timely manner. With 2:40 minutes of race footage to look through it gets to be very time consuming.
We are also considering a 4th steward preferably someone who races in Lobby #2
This way they can help Desertpenguin with all lobby #2 incidents and Macboyilija can help me with all of lobby #1 incidents only.
