I was so engrossed with the battle with F11, I didn't even realise he was pitting on lap 20 so forgot. Evora had a faster lap time in it, but the clio had the acceleration and straight line speed and F11 didn't make 1 mistake. Colin nearly finished me early on in his lovely late braking style , but I hung on - just.
Would have been close on last lap if I'd pitted also.
Still great fun and I came first!!!!

didnt you win on the last race in s3 aswell? always nice to end ona good note

Yep, Carmo's missed pit should have a time penalty, McSam's win in race 2 IMO.

carmo pitted on the last lap as he realised his mistake also this has happened a few times this season without penalty so did not apply a penalty due to this and also for it being the last race of this season

[CJ1987]

First of all you dont need to keep saying "dont take offense" when ever you question a decision or put a suggestion forward to me as long as it has substance to the argument/suggestion, unlike what some people think im not a dictator where if you say anything to me your immediately in my firing line for doing so.

Now onto my decision, i didnt say because its the last race you can get away with anything but what i did say is it did have a part in the decision (small one i might add). The main reason why carmo didnt get penalized was because it was a genuine mistake and its the first time he has ever done this since he joined the champ also it has happened earlier in the season and didnt get penalized so would be unfair to treat carmo differently to everyone else who done the same.

Your right in that rules must be adhered to but i do give lee way to drivers if i feel they deserve it and in this case carmo got it because these sort of mistakes can happen if your battling hard with someone you can forget which lap your on. I also want to add is that if any driver done it a second time then they would be penalized but if i start penalizing everyone for every infringement of the rules even if its small then it would kill the champ so thats why i look at every bit of detail, for example i look at it from the drivers pov, what the driver is normally like, if they tried to rectify their mistake, if they have done it before and if they apologized for it immediately afterwards to name just a view.

Hopefully this clarifies what my "thought process" is as some people put it

You can't be serious.

Might I direct you to Tsukuba, where I made the mistake of not pitting. The first time I'd done such a thing, just like Carmo. I held up my hands, just like Carmo. I tried to pit on the last lap but was only allowed to drive through, just like Carmo. I won the race as a result, just like Carmo. And, quite rightly, I was penalised for roughly the time the correct pit stop should have cost me, twenty seconds, just like..

Oh wait, there's one fking set of rules for me and another for everyone else, is there?


I'm certain Carmo had no intention of being classified first as a result of his mistake, and only kept driving because he wanted to see where he stacked up in the battle he was having for second. I'm not going to touch F1 in this championship, nor will Carmo's standings change, so it makes no difference at all. You could at least have the good grace to give me the win I earned in the last race of the season.

difference is sam that when carmo realised what he done he pitted at the end of the last lap to try and make up for it, in tsukuba you didnt so both cases arent exactly the same as you claim also there has been other drivers in the past (myself included) that didnt pit at the right time for varying reasons who didnt get penalized, weird how you havent objected to them before but seem to only be doing it now as the other drivers mistake put you in 2nd.

You are the one who has double standards not me so stop claiming it as its starting to get tiresome.

Alfanatic said:

Next season's rules already fix this particular problem by abolishing the two compound requirement.

as kiseca says there's no mandatory pitstop rule anymore so the 2 compound rule is also gone but id be interested in hearing the other loopholes because tbh i cant se any atm

[CJ1987]

fuelracer496 said:

I agree that the tyre compound / pitting rule is already sorted, I wasn't specifically talking about that. In terms of loop holes - Colin, shall I pm you or do you want this to be covered publicly?

could you pm me first please

[CJ1987]

Regarding the panel it wont be applied since there's only been 3 drivers who have put their names forward and 2 of them done it to build up the numbers also no one should be forced into putting their name down because of someone else.

So next season i will be applying the penalties as usual but the rest of the process will stay the same for season 5 atm.

Carmo99 said:

I can join the panel Colin as I think its a good idea - reconsider now?

if you really want to then the panel is go go go as someone said last night , if anyone else wants to do it now is the time to let me know before i pick the main panel and its back ups

[CJ1987]

Yes Viper, I was slipstreaming and thought "great F11's worn out his tyres and has to pit early, then looked at screen and saw "LAP 20/21" and thought sh*t i've fu*ked up".
I was so engrossed I really thought we were on lap 15 or so.
Stupid I know.

ruining tyres does not compute with F1

Do you guys fancy an inter champ race re-match?

Both championships are at the end of their seasons ATM so I thought It would be a laugh to get together again?

Let me know who's interested from your side and I'll organise it.

Flip

not for me considering what happened last time out, the other guys are more than welcome to if they want
