100% agreed! I cannot remember who it was but the person who lost their time it was for that round, surely they only left because they broke or had a crap round!!

I think alot of rules were being bent/broken during the weekend.. it is hard to enforce every rule and the BRCA have a very hard task of running the meeting.

Talking/shouting on the rostrum i agree does need to be enforced more effectivly, in my heat there were a few drivers shouting when crashing, wanting to get past another driver, telling people to move - all whilst the ref was in attendance and nothing was done?!

I had to literally tell everyone to keep it quiet as it isnt the most easy of situations to race in when you've someone near you shouting about.

I understand completly why talking on the rostrum would put people off, but it is going to be very hard to renforce isnt it?

The rule is already enforced, at every drivers briefing Paul Worsley says everytime that the rostrum is a strict no talking area.

With a ref being a few feet from the 10 racers on the rostrum a simple 'keep it down' is all that is needed.. this however seems to be overlooked in the lower heats.

Right ok, Ive never raced at a national before and was unaware of that.

Yes i would agree with that, i end up telling them to shutup if it's bothering me a lot, then you lose concentration.

I had this no offence to stu whyman but he started talking to him. But it was jay holmes so im sure stu was talking to him to calm him down a little as he was getting slightly excited about being in a very close battle for first.

Yep, Woody I remember, it was Tricky in your 2wd heat. He broke his car during an outburst rather than an accident, then walked off the rostrum.

Sorry but if I break my car im going to just walk off the rostrum too. 10 seconds off THAT time is all that was given to Tricky, and all that will be given to anyone else.

Unless, dare I say it.... we have one rule for one, and another for the rest of us...


In some cases when people have crashed and stood back, id rather they leave the rostrum quietly than hoover behind me.

That's odd, I'm sure during drivers briefing they said you would lose your best round score/time of the day... I must have heard that wrong

I see no point in that rule at all then; 10 seconds off a time when you leave the rostrum early has got to be the stupidest rule ever, as Ian said you’re hardly going to be leaving the rostrum early with your fastest time of the day. Who's idea was that one, back to the drawing board I feel!?

I think I need to clear this up.
From the Rule Book -
15.14
No driver may leave the rostrum until the race is declared over or unless instructed to do so by an Official.

17.13 Competitors exiting or entering the rostrum during a race may incur penalties as 17.6.

17.6 At the Referees’ discretion, penalties can be incurred for bad driving and/or corner cutting with any one of the following, depending on the severity of the offence: Official Warning, 5 second stop-go penalty (Nationals Only), 10 second penalty, 1 lap penalty, disqualification. The Stop-Go penalty area must be well defined and in a position that is practical to operate.



So if observed leaving the Rostrum you will incur penalties which have to be applied to that Round.
For your first offence - 10 secs will be applied - regardless of the time set.
For your second offence (in the same meeting) a more severe penalty will be applied e.g. one lap.

In this instance, it does seem pointless, but would you say the same if it had happened after 12/13 laps and the driver was relegated 20 places down the round?

Maybe on some rostrums that is ok, but what about Southport for example, or York at the Indoor Finals?
Would you accept it if a driver bumped into you as he was leaving the rostrum and caused you to crash, and costing you your best time of the day?

I can agree that a dyson at full chat would be quite distracting.

If there is one thing I can't stand, is people stomping off the rostrum cause there car is broke, bugger everybody else huh, lets just disturb/distract everyone else.

Talking is different to be honest, lightens the mood, arguing is a no-no.

I don't agree with it, even talking distracts me. I may talk before i go up but ONLY when im far enough away to stop distracting others.
