Duke excluded right or wrong
After watching Duke's exclusion on motorsportmad i think it was a bit unfair.
What do you think. |

the rules are the rules we dont make them if the coc says he was driveing wrong then he has to take what he is given and learn from this. it is not up to us say as we were not in at the after race meeting . i am sure he got his point across to the coc .

The ERC rules are clear. If you push and cause a spin to the car in front of you, then you are black flagged. It doesn’t matter if the “pushed” car saves the spin. You can push and shove a bit only if you are alongside the car you try to pass.

The reason I said it was a bit unfair is because there was other pushes which caused a lot more damage (2 stock hatches nearly or writin off)he did push but what damage was done.

Was any action taken? Was it viewed as a clear cut "driver A was at fault" or was it 50-50?

listen this man is a good driver with out doubt ,
however he did push the other man off clear and cut . This sport needs to be cleaned up last year there was alot of damage done and I for one am with the coc on this one but not againist the duke but in general ramming is not the way forward . their is no need for it. Times lads is whats imprtant. good event today but agree about the other should have ran c finals. Go on the sponsors of the duke good stuff!!!!! |

Hmm whached the thread for a bit.
Im going to remain un-biassed on this, why ? Because i wasnt there. The one thing i will say is that its difficult to judge braking points comming off rallycross 3 so this type of incident is very hard to avoid when your in the heat of things... Michael Coyne and Ben Power come to mind. To be fair to both Mike and most of the stock hatch guys, they can drive a very clean and tight race... All it takes is for someone to brake a few feet early and someone is off. |

Michael thats an unfair comment about an official. Any incidents that reports or complaints are recived are investigated fully with the evidence avaible on the day. Did you appeal to the stewards NO so you excepted your penalty. I think its unfair that the people who run the sport FOC for you guys can be slated for doing what the class asked for.
