[ROUND 9 INTERLAGOS] RPM vs FOR

[Xosé Estrada]

Disadvantaged car: Rami Kaukola
Team: RPM

Reported car: Mikko Korkiakoski
Reported Team: FOR


Description:

Mikko came up the inside of Rami with no clear room to make the pass. As it's a 90minute race, moves like this should be punished as there is the whole race to go and not just a few laps. Rami suffered damage and dropped to position 13, costing us lots of points.

 

[Ivo Simons]

No penalty imo.
Rami closes the door way to hard. Mikko just had a look and you see it coming way before the corner. Its far from a extreme dive move on the inside. Rami just had to give more room and could avoid the incident. Can compare it abit to the Webbber Hamilton incident on Singapore.

 

[Ross Balfour]

-4 from RPM, reasons have been stated.

 

[Hugo Hekkenberg]

No penalty for the FOR team from the FDR team.

Rami closes the door and there was Mikko. Rami could have seen Mikko so he could avoid the collision.

Real racing rules say that a defending driver (Rami) can shut the door at anytime he wishes as long as the attacking car (mikko) has not passed his real wheels. In this case Mikko wasn't close enough so its definitely a penalty. How high is up for the teams to decide

If you shut the door when someone is next to you doesn't matter how far, you risk a incident. What did you expect Mikko to do jump away ?
And if you ask me Mikko did pass the rear wheel of Rami.

I thought we where not going to discuss anymore

 

[David Garcia]

Guys, everybody have a diferent point of view on every single matter so no discussion please :tongue:. Even I have my opinion about it... wich I will not share .

 

[Michael Hart-Jones]

No penalty. Rami turned in to Mikko.

 

[David Zafiu]

No penalty as the FOC car was pretty much on the inside and RPM car closed the line totally.Yes,it's a 90 min race..but let's say that FOC car was late on brakes and anyway it's not a forbiden move! 0 penlaty from MAG

 

[Flavio Borgna]

Could be considered a race incident, Rami had not enough room for overtaking, and Mikko having a car on his side would have to stay more wider. Overtaking too impetuous are to be punished to preserve correctness of the league.
COR voted -2

 

[Tom Ilsbroux]

No penalty as Rami closed the door to late.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

longest discussion on our forum about this one but in the end we vote for race incident with a remark that this a 90 mins race with possibly a better chance coming up in the next three laps or so.

 

[Robin Johansson]

-2 gubbklubben votes

 

[Grégory Cogotti]

No penalty, the accident could be avoided.

 

[Simon Melhuish]

no pen, racing incident to us

 

[Neil Gault]

the rpm car as soon as he turns in probably lost sight of the tailing car this Mikko should of known and by sticking his car in where he did he was probably all to aware of the outcome.
