Crossing The Finish Line
When crossing the finish line, crashing your car is not acceptable under any circumstances and will not be tolerated.
Driver's are still racing and racing for position, crashing can cause frame hits for people and it is unfair to disrupt their racing. Pull over off the track and Esc.. or drive back to the pits.. its just common courtesy.
Breaking this rule will result in points loss or removal from the league.

Re: NZrFL:32 Europa Challenge Round7
I've noticed the live laps is picking up oddball lap times for some reason (Rifty Me Hugh and Seca all have like under 40 second times).
Is there a glitchy timing split/sector on the track? Hopefully it won't cause any problems on the night during race eg not counting a lap or counting extra laps etc??

Challenging track but good fun
Really hard to follow cars closely especially around the back half of the circuit, so kudos to all for the close racing!

Great version of Brands, a real challenge.
Had an average night, again
After taking damage and racing with bent steering in the first two races, I bailed from the 3rd when it happened again.
This run of bad luck has to change at some point
Roll on next week.

Re: NZrFL:32 Europa Challenge Round7
I realise there was an almighty crash in race 2, but I still felt a great sense of satisfaction at coming in 5th. Well over 500 laps at Brands Hatch, a day's worth of fiddling with FFB, and an ever-so-manly callous on my thumb are paying off!
Being pinged for the world's mildest infraction in Race 3, and then being DQ'ed for not pushing the right "stop-and-go" button while in the pits, was painful at the time but a good learning experience. It won't happen again :-)
Looking forward to next week!
