i dont like to complain, because if i lose i lose and if i win i win, it doesnt matter was my rival did, i was just not fast enough to beat him, i do admit i was strugling so much, my tires were going out quickly, so everytime i went wide was because i missed my break point and i lost allot of time with understeer.

in the first corner i missed my breaking point a couple of time so i had so other choice but to get on the grass and that made me lose allot of time , on turn 4 i did go wide but gained no time , infact i lost time because i had no grip, anything else was because i was trying to get back into my old rythm that i had before i took a break from f1 2011. its not like i will remain the same but next time things will change.

I have to ask how are @Olliekart and @moussa so fast?

1) a wheel
2) India is my best track
3) Set-Up
4) Simples!

Good race guys, I had no time to practice and was well off the pace of olli and moss! My tyre wear and fuel use was very high here so ill have to look into that. Thought I lost 3rd to ed as I had to pit for a second time as my tyres were gone and my times were dropping so I thought I’d take a punt on options! Possibly about 3 laps too early, but the track came to me and I was able to get the fastest lap! Ed had to pit again also and I was able to get by him while he was exiting the pits.

So r we doin germany next week – going back to the calander?

Are you serious, Moss? I’m not pathetic enough to accuse others of cheating because I, myself didn’t have the pace. I even stated that. I know I wasn’t fast enough; and without my wheel, I never will be as fast, because wheels, from my experience are 1-2 seconds quicker per lap.

What I am saying is, that in qualifying I rode on board with both you and Oli and you were both consistently running wide to gain extra time. You can’t say that it doesn’t help, because it does. You both set your fastest lap times by going wide on 3 or 4 different corners. To be honest, I don’t care if nothing is done, because in the end it’s just a game and if people want to go against the rules to gain extra lap time, then by all means do so, but I don’t want to race against those who do that.

As for the collision, I had no idea that you were there, as you said, you were coming out of the pits and I couldn’t see that until I was turning in and found you going up the inside. I had no grip and tried to avoid you, but couldn’t. Yes you lost time and I apologise for that, but so did I. But that has nothing to do with this discussion.

The fact is, you both broke the rules, but it’s not up to me whether those rules will be or ever have been enforced here before. Choose amongst yourselves, as I have better things to do.

I can’t honestly claim there should be a penalty for exceeding track limits, as I did it myself a few times in the race.

However, I saw one car, I think it was the McLaren, cut across the grass on Lap 1 between Turns 1 and 3. That should be a penalty, as it saved a lot of time.

As for my day, it was pretty quiet. I had no time for practice, so knew 3rd was my best possible result. Didn’t look at the weather forecast, so qualified on prime tyres. Then, decided to start the race on Full Wets. I had a long battle with AS01, and eventually got past. Then, I was about 2 seconds behind Brooksy for a long time after his stop. Our pace was very equal, I could never get close enough to pass.

Then, I pitted for intermediates with about 10 laps to go, and was catching up to him. Unfortunately I was pushing too hard and got a corner cutting penalty. So therefore I was no chance of holding him back, so I decided to pit for Options with 2 laps left and go for the Fastest Lap, and I was on track to get it before I ran out of fuel half way through the last lap.

Ok guys, sounds like an, erm.. interesting race. My PSN is back up and on Sunday i will host the Luxembourg GP at the Nurburgring, (will amend wiki shortly).
As for penalties, i must say.. from what you guys have said, i kinda agree with you all, i feel this is wrong as well, but since i wasn’t there i cant tell what happened :/, i will need a bit more information from you all, but i must admit, these offences do seem punishable.
Apologies to Oli and Moss, but i do want to hear from EVERYONE who raced before i reach a decision

Oli Peacock said 1 year, 7 months ago:

considering my first non-wide lap was still good enough for second, it didnt really effect my quali. i only found 5 tenths. TBH if ur gonna give me penalty, which is understandable, a exclusion from the next quali would be the max

#
ed24f1 said 1 year, 7 months ago:

I think Ollie and Moss are very good at F1 2011, and would’ve won regardless. I think it should be some sort of reprimand or official warning for the excessive track limits, and be on the watchout for the future.

As for the Turn 1 incident, I’d be interested to hear if anyone else saw it.

#
BROOKSY007 said 1 year, 7 months ago:

I saw it, but I though he was maybe pushed wide, or did so trying to avoid a collision. That was my thought at the time as I remember thinking maybe he’d get an in-game penalty. Maybe it was strategic!! Lol!!!

#
Oli Peacock said 1 year, 7 months ago:

i felt a nudge at T1, but i was already missing the apex cos i thought Moss would come sliding through, which i why i was away from the apex and thus the nudge completely upset the cars balance

#
moussa said 1 year, 7 months ago:

I did see oli cut the second corner and I knew he probably got hit.

At the start he blocked my line so I have to slow down early in the first corner, but I did feel a nudge too so things were a bit mixed in the first corner.

#
ed24f1 said 1 year, 7 months ago:

Yes, it is unfortunate if you get hit at Turn 1, and it was pretty chaotic in the wet, but I don’t think it excuses you to cut across the grass.

If you’re hit, you must rejoin the track at the nearest point, not at the next corner.

Look, it probably wouldn’t have impacted the result, but I think it was a little disappointing.

ayrtonsenna01 said 1 year, 7 months ago:

Sorry I haven’t posted guys, been busy! Ollie, it was me who gave you a tap at turn one, nothing too major though! I was directly behind into turn one and felt the line you took was fair for the first lap. I “sort of” wrecked Ed’s race, as we had a good battle. He had the last laugh though by lapping me…

As for track limits, I’m afraid I’m not too pleased about it. Everytime Moss and Ollie were near, there was clear excession of the limits. Due to the weather though, this can be a reason.

I raced Ollie’s ghost in TT before the race, and it clearly doesn’t stick to the track… I’m not gonna go crazy trying to get them penalised. Simply, the pace was there. Enough said. However, it kind of defeats the object of true racing if it was simply a qualifying battle…

FINAL DECISIONS:
Offense: Cutting Turn 1 on Lap 1
Driver: Oli Peacock (@olliekart) (2), McLaren (McRenault)
Penalty: Reprimand
Reason: Although this probably gained him some time, @ayrtonsenna01 has admitted to hitting him. Oli should have however, as ed said, rejoined at the closest point, not the next corner. therefore a Reprimand will be issued only.

Offense: Repeatedly Exceeding Track Limit’s in Qualifying and the Race
Drivers: Oli Peacock (@olliekart) (2), McLaren (McRenault) and Moussa Awada (@moss-611) (15), Virgin (Virspania)
Penalty: 2 Qualifying Bans
Reason: Exceeded Track Limit’s is unacceptable. You both performed well i nthe race however and i feel it would be unjust to remove you from the results, something i also hope no-one else would like to see. Also i have picked up that this mainly took place in qualifying when you were trying to set fast laps, and so you will both be banned from the next 2 qualifying sessions (Luxembourg and Marco Simoncelli Tribute Race).
