I think so, because your car was fine and his wasn't. I haven't watched the replay but I think you drifted from the apex into Davey. Although, Davey said he didn't care so maybe not.
True but it's dangerous to take vehicle damage as a standard given how lopsided the damage system is. I have the rare fortune of actually damaging a Ford yet one can literally drive through me and carry on without issue. We just happened to come together at corner exit, his car steering in front of mine and I hit his wheel; black flag.
The same argument can be made about when you and I came together Noel and when Kyle punted me in the braking zone in the last chicane.
If I was an ass I could have made a stink about either one of them but didn't because both, while unfortunate, were understandable. I felt you had a legitimate passing opportunity but failed to give me space on corner exit whereas Kyle simply misjudged my braking zone given the McLaren's ability to get through the chicane faster than the BMW.
In the case of Davey and I, there was no dive-bomb into the corner, I simply could not hold the corner as tight as I would have liked. I'd have to re-watch the replay but honestly feel Davey could have gone wider as well.
Ultimately it was Davey's reaction to the incident that made me continue on and I think it needs to stay that way.
Now to be clear I'm not pointing fingers here at all but there is a flip side toward this system and that is in the form of abuse. Right now we're running a League populated with people we know that race with honor and integrity.
We can't know for certain if it will always be this way so we have to ensure that any system we come up with cannot be taken advantage of. We've all seen and heard people bitching constantly in comms and chat about dodgy driving or someone else yet few seem to realize they probably had a part to play in the situation.
...h3ll the last time I raced Sebring a Driver who punted me clear off the track blamed me for it because he said I shouldn't have been defending lol. You can't argue with someone like this because they're always right in their minds eye.
I think the best policy in this system is to tier it and follow Blancpains guidelines in the process because their system works.
Unfortunately we don't have real time course Marshals so some of our Policing will have to be made post race.
I'll likely mock up a quick flowchart though so people can visually see how the system works.
What I really love though is it's another form of communication in comms that puts our League miles ahead of the rest. You can clearly tell by our communication how much we care about each others races which is simply amazing.
