Snetterton Race 3 start

[deleted_user_0_csl]

OK, so spot the problem with this start :banghead:

Nick Foster's front left wheel hit my rear quarter (pic below). Its all good natured banter, but Nick claims I drifted across towards him and he was just holding his line. But I was in front? I'm confused - who was in the wrong here? :banghead:

Not you :banghead:

You were pretty much on a straight path, I know Nick is aggressive although good natured, and had a few off's last season, one just in front of me where he pushed too hard and hit the wall at Donny, but he looks as if he just bumped you straight out of the way, with marks to prove it.

What did the CoC say after or did it not get in front of them ?

[AlexGTT]

You seemed to be keeping a quite consistant line Steve and you were clearly ahead, so I'd say you were not to blame. Up to him to avoid you as far as I can see. Of course, might be easier to judge from a view on-board the other car.

[TANKSLAPPER]

I would send Nick the bill :hahaha::hahaha:

Lucky he didn't put you into the wall

I think Hazy / Radders have got some in car video so hopefully they'll upload that. Nick didn't have a camera in his though.

At least it makes for good telly, it'll be on Motors TV on the 22nd May :hahaha:

I didn't report it to the CoC as I'd had two run ins already that weekend with him, and also presumed it was a racing incident. Only thinking about it now that if this kind of thing (presuming perhaps wrongly that Nick was in the wrong) wasn't penalised that it could be used at the start to wipe out your opponent :banghead:

Im with you 100% Steve, and well collected mate:thumbs:, watch the line of the tarmac join just before impact, it stays in the same place relative to the dash, as a Former Banger Racer, if thats what CSL Cup is about let me at him !:hahaha:.

That other car seemed to get off the line pretty quick mate ...:clown:

[Thorney]

Hard to tell from that angle, its on a straight bit of track so both of you should maintain a constant line, if one or other of you drifted accross the track into the other then that party is at fault.

Dunc - off the line starts aren't my area of expertise - I stalled on race 2:hahaha:

Thanks for the heads up on the tarmac line :thumbs:

Shame mate, so did they actually film the CSL cup this year to air, as it ws filmed last year but nothing was kept apparently or shown due to the low grids etc, and the headline races for TV slots are Sport Maxx / Radical's / Mini Challenge in that order .. hope it is as be good to see it on the box..

CSL Miami mate !! :hahaha:

If further assurance were needed of your line, just check out the line the armco makes with the right hand window, its dead straight to the point of impact, if you were drifting across his line, you would see an angle forming and narrowing between the armco and the top of the dash

[Thorney]

Only counts in a turn mate where the inside car has right of way as it were if it is alongside or near as dammit alongside.

That makes sense - I understand

CSL Cup wasnt filemed last year at all. We requested it was filmed so we could make aprogram out of it but no-one actually did.

This year we are part of Dunlop Great and British and as such have our slot on the full program same as Minis, Radicals etc.
