It would be interesting to hear the views of any judges of fact from circuit racing on this.
Rallycross is supposed to be non-contact - you are supposed to avoid unecessary contact. In the first incident Doran goes off the track and then comes back on showing no consideration for other drivers, cutting across the track to take out an innocent victim. In the second he drives into the inside of another car on the loose with the intention of using force to push it wide or spin it out. Those of us who follow stock car racing know these tactics all too well! In both cases contact was completely avoidable.
I don't actually blame Doran - he is young and is trying (too hard) to win. I blame organisers for gradually becoming more tolerant of unacceptable driving standards. These cars are just too fast to be used as weapons.
