Tricky makes contact with Wrighty at the chicane spinning Wrighty. Tricky continues but lifts the throttle presumably slowing for Wrighty. Wrighty gets back on track and accelerates and Tricky also accelerates away in front of Wrighty. I am assuming there was a conversation on Discord where Wrighty and Tricky agree to continue as is without the need to give the place back.
Rule 3 : If you hit another driver during an event and disadvantage them in any way, you must let them regain their original position even if you lose places in doing so. If there is some doubt as to whether there was contact, ask the disadvantaged driver if you caused the issue. If they say 'yes', you must wait for them to regain their original place in all cases.
As rule 3 stands it's not optional for the drivers involved to agree whether to give the place back or not so Tricky should have given the place back as contact was made and Wrighty was disadvantaged. If this had been the case Tricky would have been in between Si and Wrighty in a three car race.
We either have to amend this rule so the two have a vote or we apply it as is. Having it as optional does mean it isn't applied consistently leading to future issues where people disagree.
