Hello Gordon,

Reference FRC's Penalties - I was looking over the DTP RULE and coming to think of it, there is really only one penalty for racing at FRC...

I really dont think you can make it any easier for anyone to adapt, as its written in the GENERAL COMPETITION REGULATIONS... Yet some how for whatever reason/s - we still have issues with it every once in a while.

:arrow: If a car drives through or bounces a car ahead in the same lane causing it to de-slot, or if a car causes another car to de-slot when exiting the pits or changing lane...

The two situations in bold print is very straight forward to comprehend but do you think the changing lane part could do with a little more clarification :?: :)

GG - Here's a suggestion wording the DTP rule... and not taking away that your way wasnt good too.

If a car drives through or bounces a car ahead in the same lane causing it to de-slot, or if a car exiting the pits or changing lane causes another car to de-slot...

Its still written in your style but because of the bold print here, when reading will "drive" the point home :)

What you think?

Luke,

I couldn't have put it better myself :) I'll change the wording in our regs to your excellent suggestion.

My pleasure GG & glad you like the suggestion :D

Although I still think, the changing lane could do with a little more clarification...

For example - If someone makes a lane change for a clean overtake on a slower car and slower car runs into the back of faster car by chance & they (of course slower car) get de-slotted... Would you call this a drive through still :?: This is exactly what happened when I over-taked Arden in last F1 race & you came up from behind and re-slotted him right after 8-)

Whats your take on this GG :?:

On a separate note, Ramesh & Arden sorry I couldnt make TSCC :( & sure you'll had a great time still :)
