Lap disallowed is a little harsh. LOL. accidentally pushed over the white line and you find yourself a lap down at the back of the grid!

Can investigate if someone was forced of the track if needs be and just remove the penalty or hand the place back.

No no, I think your firm hand as a steward during the race would also be great!


You boy, I didn't like that, back of the grid now!!!!!!


Do not pass line, do not collect £200.

7 strikes in BTCC, and you out for the year now !

The thing is with Johns F1 rule`s is that there are so many area`s to be abused, they have to write a rule that covers every mm of car, this is where those T wings have come in, the made the length of the car longer and it is in a area previously not covered by a rule, so they took advantage, this is why the rules are so complicated,

anything too clever they poo poo anyway.

no room for abuse in mine, anything within those rules is fine.

wanna make it look like a stegosaurus, as long as its within the width and length (think i'd add a height in there as well) and its fine.

it's a done subject, total waste of time and more dangerous than not having it imo, imagine halo deflected an object into the cockpit, straight into the race suit and not the impact resistant designed helmet.

another little tit bit.

Since Aston Martin’s 2015 cash-injection partnership with Daimler, the company’s been on something of a roll. Unhinged Vulcan, raffish DB11, a bespoke car for James Bond himself, and now, a new 503bhp Vantage. Work is well underway on a new factory in Wales, and in the coming years Aston will make its first foray into the luxury SUV sector, with the DBX. Oh, and there’s something about a road-going F1 car called the Valkyrie being masterminded by some chap called Adrian Newey. Sounds like fun.

But Daimler are paying the bills at the Mercedes AMG F1 Team.
