ERC Race Series - Euro Saloons & Sports

[ERC]

That video is the first handicap Ricky, not the second.

Ivan had flat spotted his treaded tyres and fitted slicks, without telling me - which is of course not allowed. (I have noticed that his left front has been locking up under braking for ages.) This tyre change was noticed by other drivers and an observant pit lane official but it was too late to change the handicap, so he was allowed to run, but romped away, which was a bit naughty.

However, although he was first across the line, the bottle of Moet went to John Sampson who finished second and as you still managed third in race 2, you will have been promoted to second!

Just had a discussion about Dot rated tyres and will be making a ruling clarification shortly.

I haven't looked at your ERC in car as yet, but congratulations for your very restrained driving in the other class, where it appears that there are some people who do not believe in giving the faster cars an easy run through in the handicaps!

PS: Now I have seen the above video, it is pretty obvious why you couldn't get ahead and unfortunately, you only need someone to slow you by 1 second a lap (turn 2/3...) but you are then way back at the finish.

Excellent picture quality by the way.
