Thereโs a distinction between hungry but raw and desperate, and heโs been driving desperate since the races last season. If he were in VCARB you could justify this as a development season, but heโs just not set up to have a chance. His attitude hasnโt done him any favors either. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] ThiccSemperTyrannis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) If you want to be really really confused, read what the stewards said about it. "We applied the Driving Standards Guidelines as a guide to determine who had the right to the corner. Applying those guidelines, it is clear that LAW was well ahead of DOO at the apex of the corner and was entitled to use the full track at the exit. DOO should therefore have given LAW sufficient room to overtake and his failure to do so resulted in a minor collision. As the resulting collision was minor, we took no further action." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] Fump@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago You're right.
