Hi ya chaps,
Just thought i'd jump in and offer my own views on the subject.
1-- I have never used the front bumper with the sole intention of taking a person out of the race, I did have an altercation with Ironmac at one meeting which I appologised for. This came about due to a lack of consentration as far as race positions and laps go.
2-- I can't ever remeber an occassion whereby I have slated another driver for the use of contact on me, in fact i would openly encourage gentle pesuasion as i refuse to move out the way of another car, this is not grand prix racing (what ever next Blue flags ) and i seem to remember a praccy session with Mat(413) in which we spent a great deal of laps exchanging hits so that we had some idea on how to deal with them in a race.
3-- Unforunately you are going to get the odd one or two that find it amusing to drive 'Full chat' ( omg love that expression) into another driver and these should be dealt with accordingly ( i.e loss of points, bans etc) but we have to be carefull not to erradicate the whole essence of what is a contact formula.
Hope this make some sense, If not just ignore it lol.
Catch ya trackside
TGG
