[Fernando Deutsch]

Came late, could not qualify, and then got a drive through by jumping the start.

Was fun catching and fighting people, but involed on two accidents. Sorry Andrew and Keith for the collisions.

funny me too - sorry to hear it Fernando! I had my first jumped grid...and I got disqualified, so I had to leave! What was I supposed to do to make up for the jump start?? Hope y'all had a fun race!!

I think it's time we revisit something.
Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a complete lift of the gas please if it is safe to do so.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

You can find everything about the rules here, but these are the consequences. Not my rules, but I have to enforce them. If you go out from time to time and it's an accident, I understand. What I saw tonight was not an accident. I just want us all racing by the same rules.

(#)Set system of punishment for breach of rules (other than the Golden Rule) in club events.

• 1st offense: PM warning explaining the rule broken, and potential penalty for next infraction.
• 2nd offense: Two week racing ban.
• 3rd offense: 30 day racing ban.
• 4th offense: 1 year racing ban.

Yeah, I think I was a bit guilty of that one. Was going wide in turn 4 every second or third lap unintentionally, but I didn't realize it was actually beneficial time-wise, so I didn't make a huge effort to correct it. I made sure to keep it together after you and Tariq mentioned it. Sorry about that.

Same happened to me. Particularly frustrating since I was already at the very back of the grid, and came to a complete stop and waited until everyone else had already started moving. But those are the rules, no argument there. My fault for not seeing the warning message which was apparently on my left monitor as I'm running triple screen. Lesson learned!

I believe the penalty is to drive through pit lane within the first three laps? And presumably AI takes over or at least a pit speed limiter turns on?

It's a simple drive through the pits penalty. I've had my share of them. Qualied 3rd in an EU race only to jump start. It sucks, but that's the way it is. I think you have 2 to 3 laps to serve the penalty from when you get the penalty. I always just serve it on that lap or the next one. Haven't been disqualified yet. Hope this helps

That's all I'm asking. We all go wide from time to time. On turn 4 you can carry more speed through there and benefit down that little short shute straight. The only problem is trying to keep all 2 wheels in so I tend to be a little slower than some guys because I have to keep 2 wheels in.

Thank you for understanding, being honest and correcting it on the fly. We have a bunch of great guys, but of all night to not push the limits too much it's on a Social Night. New guys follow our lead so to speak.

The pit limiter is automatic, but you have to drive it through the pits. I think it's within 2 or 3 laps of the penalty.
