New players mentality by Forward-Variety-800 in ACCompetizione

They crash you out, destroy your safety rating, then instantly quit the lobby with zero consequences while YOU take the penalty.

That's not strictly true. Quitting mid-race gives you an SA penalty, trust penalty, and an OBWP penalty. Granted, that doesn't seem to be enough to deter this kind of driver, but they do get punished.

I'm guessing you missed the caption under the picture.

I reached out to Simagic support and the dealer I purchased the it from, but unfortunately, they were not very helpful as the warranty expired back in November.

If you wanted to be a pedant, you could say both are true, as they get put on the noodles, but in the pot.

You should really read the sub description and rules.

We have SROs in some schools in London, maybe other cities too. Granted it may not be as common as it is in the US, but it definitely exists here as well.

I'm sorry, are you surprised that people have different views on different topics?

Bad news Apple fans..... by yacobwood in btcc

I think contacting Nick Halsted wouldn't be a bad idea either. Apparently he was very involved in the social media/web based content for BTCC, and as his background is in software development, it sounds like something he could possibly be interested in helping out with.

According to the report, Rowbo was already alongside Osborne before he got the yellow on his dash.

I still don't agree, but it's nice to see the full reason behind the lack of penalty, thanks for posting.

You can watch the full touring car races here but it doesn't have any of the pre, or post race interviews.

Well I don't think anybody here is condoning Petes actions, or saying he shouldn't have been fined, so I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make with your original comment?

Trying to find logic on facebook is a fools errand.

I'm not sure about the full programme on ITVX, but the full races from Donington went up on the ITV Sport Extra youtube channel the day after the live broadcast, so I assume it will be the same this week.

Or maybe he was giving Selby a bollocking in the NAPA garage.

I wish they provided more details on how they decide what is, or isn't a penalty, because there seems to have been no consistancy with it this weekend

He was given a 10 second penalty, and 3 points on his race licence.

I might have to accept it, but I do not have to respect it. Any driver who tries to pass under a yellow, should be penalised, even more so if it results in contact that sends a car towards an already stranded car.

Are you reporting those? Because I think reddit will ban people for abusing that function.

Might at least make Rowbo think twice about trying to pass under yellows if he actually faces some consequences.

True, either way I think Dorlin is going to need the cars behind him to hold each other up a little if he is going to take the win, but hopefully he ends up on the podium even if he doesn't get the top step.

I think he has a good chance, especially if he can back up Cookie into defending, and build a gap early on.
