. I just wanted to "delete" what I had written in the "status" box NOT add to??
I think these long races are good, but that can be diffent for others. I wouldn't want mandatory pit stops though, as it's hard to save tires and it can give you a good advatage if you're not pushing all the way.Would prefer shorter races. I needed to pull out because I would not have time to do a full Grand Prix due to family issues. 71 laps is far too much for me. Would prefer say a 30 lap race with a mandatory 2 pitsops to change tyre compounds and make things interesting. But that's just my opinion.
........................well I've cooled down at least.! Into the pits I went, 2 secs. before repair finished I got hit by a car leaving the pits!!! Either I've been lucky up to now?...or this was the most unluckiest race I've done.!!??I agree that there was some sloppy driving. Despite having posted the event a few weeks ago, some people were joining who clearly hadn't done any practice at all. I was saying on TS I don't mind mistakes, they happen (especially in these difficult cars, and that is fine), but when people cause chaos just by breaking the silly rules (like not rejoining safely, pit exit white line, lapped cars ramming into those ahead of them, etc) it is really annoying, and unacceptable. As I posted above, my race was mostly a story of others hitting me or being super aggressive. Fortunately I was able to carry on.Well it does sound like the race was a success @Andrew James, congrats and here's to some more.
However, on a personal level it was the worst race/event I've been involved in to date.
I've waited overnight to cool down/wait for explanations/apologies before commenting. .....
Off the start line I got pushed into the wall when overtaking a slow get away car(s); thanks to dodgy coding our cars kept going without damage!? 5 corners later I got hit from behind sending me into the barrier breaking the front wing.
Luckily I didn't have to reverse but could still drive out once off the jacks, only to spin out 3 corners later from loosing the rear.! (whether this was from pit damage received or me just being p****d off who knows.?! Reversing away from the barrier I stalled the car and the race was over after 1 1/2 Laps!!!
So from my point of view, competing in many 'sprint' races with good driving and fun, this 70+ race saw the worst driving/attitude I've come across.
PM me with a quick video and explanation. That's the only way we can make sure the club racing is clean.Well it does sound like the race was a success @Andrew James, congrats and here's to some more.

Not everyone has time for hours of practice or to do full GP's, but they should at least follow the rules. And if you have seen them breaking any @Andrew James , put sanctions on them.Yes, we all have these moments as you say but you have done something that some others haven't................reviewed and apologised!!
