Should this guy still have a racing license? Fun cup spa

That would be the guy who didnt get his abandoned car off the track then. Or did it stop dead on the spot.

"Racing incident". . . interesting phrase, but what does it actually mean? Not a lot!

Every "racing incident" has a cause & could have been avoided - in this case, there would have been no problem if the white car hadn't stopped where it did stop, if the driver of the car that hit it had seen it sooner,etc., etc. Many incidents are the result of the coming together of a number of occurrences, any one of which, in isolation, would not have caused a problem.

Avoidable, yes, but can the blame be pinned on any one individual? In many instances, no!

Racing Incident....Well its used a lot in racing so you can have that chat with the hundreds of race officials over the country to its true meaning.

What a load of bollx some of chaps are coming out with...very worrying, especially as some of you are racers.

Drives in the mirrors for over 4 seconds on top of a bizarre defence.... he/she is a cock whichever way you stack it.

I have a chat with a clerk every time I hand in an incident report!

I can't believe that. A stupid mistake. Being a safe and competent racing driver is not simply being able to pedal quickly, its being aware of whats around you, being able to work with the team and having mechanical apptitude - something in my view the ARDS test doesn't accommodate enough. In short - No - thats an error that should have the clerks/stewards reviewing their position and considering strongly whether to allow them to continue competiting.
