Basically, Ryba can't hack it and has thrown his toys out of the pram.

That was my thoughts too. Or maybe running out of money in some ways.
I didn't understand, how someone could do such a team and don't take it as a marketing thing. But no energy drink is known under "Brutal fish" etc.

It seems as if they've left on good terms with the rest of the series, so surely more financial than anything else

Yes, maybe his hobby. But as far as i understand, they did it serious and could also do something with it, like establishing energy drink etc.



But in a way, i am curious, what might "kill" the fun for Martin Ryba?

Good race after that unnecessarily long safety car.

Nice to hear Andy McEwan on that race. Anything to stop Paul Jeffrey talking 100% of the time.

Franco Girolami is the 2022 champion.
Together with TCR Italy it was my favorite TCR series in 2022.

The TCR Europe paddock has been hit with scandal on the final day of the season as one of the teams accused another of intellectual property theft.

On Sunday morning at Barcelona, Hyundai Motorsport customer team Target Competition put out a statement about alleged actions committed by Comtoyou Racing, an Audi Sport customer team and the series’ champion team. The statement read as below:

“During the course of the weekend of the final round of the 2022 TCR Europe season in Barcelona, Target Competition learned about the theft of a season’s worth of onboard videos, including winter testing by a competitor team.

“The engineer of the competitor Comtoyou Racing stole a Target Competition hard drive, downloaded the confidential videos of all our drivers without our permission or knowledge and then distributed them in pre-event Team Information to their team and drivers, giving them an unfair competitive advantage at the last weekend of the TCR Europe season at Barcelona.

“Furthermore, they also still possess all videos from the 2022 season which can be used to continue gaining an illegal advantage from our intellectual property going forward. This unsporting behaviour, in our opinion, should not go unpunished. Without a favourable decision, we will have to look into the legal options available to us.”


...
Full article

No sympathetic behaviour of Comtoyou.

I would wait, what will be the outcome.


I don't know, what an Audi-team could use of this data from a Hyundai team?

It's not data, it is on-board video footage...

Maybe, but what can be seen there? What can be used from old races?

And of course: how can another team get their hands on it? Someone broke into their race transporter? Where is something like this stored?
Or did someone forgot this hard drive somewhere else than their own box?

The statement from Target states that A ComtoYou engineer took a hard drive. A lot can be learnt from on-board videos. The ComtoYou drivers were observed on the Friday watching the Target on-board videos.

Who observed that?
Where was the hard drive taken?

The on-board-videos might be not from Barcelona, maybe from earlier races this year. I can't see any advantages, that they can obtain from watching "old" onboard-footage...


It will be interesting, how this case will go on?

The hard drive was stolen by a ComtoYou engineers according to the statement. The hard drive contained all driver on-board videos from Targets pre-season testing in Barcelona this year, ComtoYou did no pre-season testing in Barcelona so the Target on-board videos would have had a value.

As you say, let's see how this plays out.

On one side of this - why would they steal them if there is no advantage?

On the other side - some advantages are given here (there are many more examples out there).

I don't think, that guys like F.Girolami, T.Coronel, Vervisch etc. need some video to know Barcelona. Especially in a different car.


If the hard drive would be, where it should (in Targets box/Transporter/hospitality), it can be very difficult to steal it.

Then i would rather think, that someone lost it outside of Targets "property", and someone found it (maybe Engineer of Comtoyou).
Otherwise Target could make an issue at the police station, rather than just a statement.


I don't want to accuse Comtoyou (as i was not there), but i can't really think of any professional team, that let an Engineer steal property of other team and will watch it together...
Sounds for me like a hollywood movie...

Is it only inboard video or is there also telemetry data added to the video? The latter case has value.

Are you suggesting that Target lied with their statement? I can only think that they had all the evidence required before going to the media, anything else would leave them open to a huge defamation case...

I guess the truth will come out over time.

Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Target engineer lost a bag with the disk, Comtoyou found it and watched the videos.

BTW Comtoyou denies accusations:
Quote:
“We read this Sunday at 1pm the statement published on Instagram by Target srl, competitor of the TCR Europe 2022. This statement was also relayed by TouringCarTimes at 4pm.

“In no case did Comtoyou Racing steal data or videos from the competitor, and in no case did we refuse a meeting to talk about it. These statements are purely and simply false and defamatory.

“We formally dispute the allegations contained in this communication and we request the publications be immediately removed and that an official denial be immediately published by the competitor. We demand that these points be respected, otherwise we will file a complaint with the authorities within 24 hours for slander and defamation.”
