Red Flags will NOT be used unless in very specific situations which are specified in the rule documents.

 

[Mo Selvarajah]

13.4 Failure to send the required files to the Administration before 23:59 GMT of the Monday following
the event, will result in a penalty and/or disqualification.


Please can you tell me why ive been disqualified, and not just given a penalty. Being sent to the back of the grid seems very harsh for submitting files about 12 hours later than the deadline.

 

[Diogo Silva]

Why me and my brother have to start from the back of the grid?

I read the rules and i saw this:

"The WT Championship top 10 drivers and the top 4 drivers from the previous Grid 2 race will not take part in Pre-Qualifying session for the next race since their participation in Grid 1 is guaranteed."

My brother finished third on Grid 2 of Canada, so he dont have to do the PQ, right?

Greetings

The rule you quoted is from last year I think, it doesn´t count this year anymore.

You should check here: http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/race-05-canada-post-race-checks.52358/ you and your brother didn´t send the required files so you got disqualified and got a back of the grid penalty.

Because FSR don't understand people have lives outside of FSR Mo. Seriously though it is a little harsh I think. Sometimes things crop up and this kind of thing will happen.

 

[Paul Berndt]

Whats all this about (start from back of grid)

My files were sent after race ! ?

Because it's the same for everybody, and I'm not going to give you a different penalty because it was "just 12 hours". It takes 30 seconds to send the files after the race.

You only sent a PQ log.

 

[David Dominguez]

The following drivers can take part in Grid 1.

 

[Tume]

Dang it! The first guy to get into G2! But this means I'm on the pole!

 

[Ron Squire]

what about me?

 

[David Dominguez]

I asked you something 4 times in the server, and you didn't reply.

yeh thats fine, and i understand its a penalty offence. What im saying is - in the rules it says 'And/OR' - which suggests that theres 2 options - Either a penalty is given, Or a DQ, or both.

Now, seeing as it was the first time ive submitted files late - surely i should just get a penalty first, and if i do it again, then a DQ? Hence why i said it seemed a little harsh.

THe rule leaves open the possibility of a penalty, or a DQ. Please respond to this or clarify the rule - thanks.

It depends which file is missing i think, a missing Log file is always DQ and a missing Qualy Lap is a penalty.

 

[David Dominguez]

The penalty is the same penalty we have used in the past for everybody.

 

[Ron Squire]

I Might be in the Grid 2 Race

 

[David Dominguez]

You still have to answer to my question.

 

[Morgan Morand]

The video of the broadcast is still freezing....

 

[Ron Squire]

i am with the Revolution Motorsport team in the WT and i am helping the team as a Reserve Driver and Scott failed to turn up so i have taken his place for this weekend

 

[Thomas Mundy]

I'm here Ron i just had a meeting that took a little longer than hoped for. I will be racing in Grid 2. Although I will be missing Hungary due to a convention so you can race from the start there and hopefully blitz them all I told Lee about it but dont think he can have relayed message to Myles. Sorry for miscommunication. Will make sure I tell Myles as well from now on.
