yeah, I shit myself, fist ever race, Stevie boy stalls it right in front of me

On the upside I went from eighth to fourth before the first bend

We really need more power and less weight, I think I can compete with the faster cars then

OK ok ok Miami beat me too it, but he referred to a line which confused my little brain.

Not your fault Steve - we have a bit of "rubbing" in saloon car racing, it is part of the fun, but that was heafty shove! Unsporting, ungentlmanly, unfair and potentially putting you into the wall is just fucking dangerous. If he thinks that his driving was fair.....you know what to do when the tables are turned.

My race rule is: if contact only leaves a tyre mark - then it was a rub. If contact makes a dent and a tyre mark - the agressor was taking the piss, especially if it happens on a sodding straight!!!! FFS

If I ever have some contact with another driver, I always make a point of clearing the air with them after the race - it's the decent thing to do.

I have to agree with the others Steve - quite a clearly a 'tap' from the other car despite you keeping largely on the straight and narrow from the start

to you ! some 1250 kgs of car got pushed about quite a bit, NOT a gentle tyre rub from someone paralleling your line, but a serious biff in the diff ! Why would he do that ? Did he come and speak afterwards Steve ? Guilty as charged if he didnt !
