race 1 start
is it just me or does anyone else think bright should have been given a drive through for jumping the start like skaife, i know when the camera was on skaife it caught him rolling but if you look at the long shot it shows bright leaving at the same time as skaife & before the rest.
it looked like he jumped early to me but thats my opinion |

I will have to have a look at that. As I am sure they are going to replay the start again today

i read somewhere that skaife said that he rolled forward then stopped and he reckoned he didnt advantage himself ???
i mean geez hes 2 inches closer to turn 1 surely thats advantage enough isnt it ? |

I can definately tell you Skaife was rolling and didn't stop. The live side on vision showed this off much better than the replayed grandstand version.
And yes Bright looked pretty suspect too. Last edited by pigsy; 29 Nov 2003 at 23:52. |

I can't say i noticed Bright creeping at all, i'd like to see a replay from side on beside Brights car to be able to comment.

I'm with you, Jetsetter, never noticed it, but Skaife moved, and didn't halt again before taking off.
But how was Marcos' start? What a blinder!!! |

In plain English a jump start is movement or being out of position when the race starts. IN the case of V8's once the red light comes on, you move, you are out of position. However - having said this - the current race director has changed his mind a number of times over the past 4-5 years as to exactly what constitutes movement and being out of position eg at Barbagallo 3 and 4 years ago he pinged (or at least attempted to - even Colin Bond was against the decision) a certain red team for wheel movement of approximately 1/16th of a wheel turn....(HRT have that particular video tape btw...) On other occasions he has not pinged some drivers for moving forward and stopping whilst the red light was on, yet on others he HAS pinged them. As recently as 2 months ago he issued a reply to questioning stating that movement DURING the red light period was OK provided they were not moving when the light goes out: Quote:
