Snetterton Race 3 start

OK, so spot the problem with this start

Nick Foster's front left wheel hit my rear quarter (pic below). Its all good natured banter, but Nick claims I drifted across towards him and he was just holding his line. But I was in front? I'm confused - who was in the wrong here?

You seemed to be keeping a quite consistant line Steve and you were clearly ahead, so I'd say you were not to blame. Up to him to avoid you as far as I can see. Of course, might be easier to judge from a view on-board the other car.

Not you

You were pretty much on a straight path, I know Nick is aggressive although good natured, and had a few off's last season, one just in front of me where he pushed too hard and hit the wall at Donny, but he looks as if he just bumped you straight out of the way, with marks to prove it.

What did the CoC say after or did it not get in front of them ?

I would send Nick the bill

Lucky he didn't put you into the wall

I think Hazy / Radders have got some in car video so hopefully they'll upload that. Nick didn't have a camera in his though.

At least it makes for good telly, it'll be on Motors TV on the 22nd May

I didn't report it to the CoC as I'd had two run ins already that weekend with him, and also presumed it was a racing incident. Only thinking about it now that if this kind of thing (presuming perhaps wrongly that Nick was in the wrong) wasn't penalised that it could be used at the start to wipe out your opponent

Shame mate, so did they actually film the CSL cup this year to air, as it ws filmed last year but nothing was kept apparently or shown due to the low grids etc, and the headline races for TV slots are Sport Maxx / Radical's / Mini Challenge in that order .. hope it is as be good to see it on the box..

CSL Cup wasnt filemed last year at all. We requested it was filmed so we could make aprogram out of it but no-one actually did.

This year we are part of Dunlop Great and British and as such have our slot on the full program same as Minis, Radicals etc.

You need to make better starts Steve.....
