Gents, in order to keep things fair and everyone as happy as possible, a slight change to the wording of Rule 3 (contact causing disadvantage in races) has been agreed as it could be argued it was open to some interpretation. Please see the new wording (now in bold) in the Rules V1.4 here
In short, if you hit someone and this contact causes them to be disadvantaged in any way (eg knocking them on to the grass and they then spin out), then you should wait. If there is some doubt as to whether contact actually took place, ask if you caused it and if the answer is yes, please then wait for them to regain their original place.
Disadvantaged drivers should not feel any pressure to say 'just carry on' if they genuinely feel contact was made. This ensures good etiquette between drivers and makes things as fair as can be. Obviously if there is a genuine disagreement about this, the incident should be referred to the admin post race for them to look at.
Hopefully this amendment to the wording will clear up any confusion and continue to make our race nights as enjoyable as they can be for everyone. As always, please post any issues below
