Does anyone think its worth appealing against my stop go penalty during the 24hr race?
Car 63 Beetle,or is there a bias against orange cars

On what grounds? Why was the penalty applied?

Based on our experience at the Silverstone International Britcar race I'd say no, it's a complete waste of time.

Your TM should've sorted it out mid race, really.

Did you have yellow flashing lights on the car? Did you ignore trackside yellow flashing lights (waved yellows at night)?

Check the blue book guys, you have 30 minutes after the finish of the race to protest any decision!

You can read so many posts on the subject of passing under yellows, but even though there are often mistakes by marshalls, you are unlikely to get a decision overturned unless you have video evidence. However, after 3 days, you cant do anything!

Yeah, I know. I was just amusing myself by attempting to drag info out of the recalcitrant OP. It was like asking: "How much is my house worth?" without giving any details beyond "yeah, it's got doors and that, like".

Jeez! it was supposed to be a lighthearted comment in lieu of what the decision was with the Hamilton penalty.

all the best for your career in motor racing


Paul -- the tall one

(ie the one who almost forgot to come in for fuel at 10.15-ish Sunday morning!!)
