that has to be a top secret tire.. PJ is wheeling, in the GRASS lol..

 

I guess they don't have a rule against gaining a position from going off track.?.

 

On a straight? I take it you don't know anything about Donington.

Don't know Donnington, didn't see the race, just the pic. If that side of the track is the shortest way to the line, then going a little further that way would get you there faster ( if you can hold it up), yes? General question about any track / race, really.

Is it stated that it's only in corners that if you go off track you cannot gain a position?

Again, I didn't see the race and I am not trying to question P.J.s' accomplishment, just seeking clarification.

 

Do we know if he went off the track on purpose, or if he was pushed wide? I don't think there would be a penalty if it wasn't his fault, so that wouldn't be an issue.

 

If you're on a straight and in second hurtling towards a finishing line coming up, is there any conceivable way you can think of that going into the grass would help you gain you a position?

For the record, at Donington that is the long way around as the final corner, some 100 or so yards back is a left hand hairpin.

I suppose not, meaning I don't know.

Haven't watched it yet. Busy day.

he was credited with the win.. safe to say no penalty ?

 

No kidding. I watched 24 hours of Le Mans, FIM 1000 superstock, 2 WSBK races, world super sport, Formula One at Monza, 2 BSB races, and now wrapping up my football the evening.

I was working live broadcast, DVR, split screens… That shit is just too much work.

 

Slacker.

Damn, I'm so burned out I thought the end of the third quarter was the end of the game. Still a lot of work to do tonight.

 

What sort of (American) football games do you guys get over there?

-jim

 

I'm watching Redskins at Saints right now. We get San Francisco and Green Bay next. And later Pittsburgh and Broncos. But I think I'll be asleep by the time that one starts.

 

Never thought about it until I saw the picture. Now, yes, I do. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
