That’s definitely the right decision, though I think they should have bigger penalties to act as a deterrent for other drivers (or indeed the same driver). I was hoping for a 10 or 20 second penalty, just to really show to all the drivers that this kind of driving isn’t on, but it’s better than nothing.

Now Shedden’s been promoted to first after Jackson’s car was excluded for exceeding the boost limit:

And Plato gets his second place back…

Wow… Shocker there.
Firstly, the Plato decision is probably right. As much as I don’t agree with it, and don’t like him, he drove quite a good race. I think he should have been made more an example of.
Secondly, unlucky for Jackson, I suppose they were trying to be competitive and hoping no-one would notice, or it was a genuine mistake.

Wow! So Shedden’s gone from third to first? Brilliant!

Though you really do have to feel for Jackson, that was a great win.

Someone pointed out the irony that Shedden got disqualified at Donny for the same reason last year.

a great days racing at Doni, saw races 1+2 from the Craner curves and race 3 from the short straigh between Mcleans and Coppice from a bank which gave us a view of the entire circuit bar Redgate and Old Hairpin (isnt it great having a track with proper corner names)
In race 2 Frank Wrathall lunged inside Aron Smith and had a tank slapper which he never regained so thats why he lost time,

Great news for Shedden, bad news for Jackson and Plato effectively has no punishment at all.

@Ratboy So that was why Wrathall was all of a sudden quite far down the order when he came round to me at Redgate! I’ll get round to watching the races on YouTube whenever they’re put up.
