Erm no, to quote a quote (taken from the TCC Rules and Regulations

The track limits are determined by the solid white lines either side of the track. At all times, two wheels must remain on this part of the circuit, unless of an occurrence where it is near to impossible to keep two wheels on the track, like avoiding a collision. During a race meeting, each time the track limits are not adhered to, a warning will be given. Each driver are allowed five warnings of all four wheels leaving the track via the inside of a corner, at any part of the circuit. If a sixth and subsequent "corner cutting" occurrences happen within a race meeting, then that driver will lose a position for each corner cut. Again, if a corner is cut to avoid a collision, this would not be given a warning.

The track limits must be adhered to in the event of gaining an advantage whilst having an on-track battle. If a driver overtakes a driver by getting all four wheels off the track, the driver must give that position back before they may continue the race. If the driver which was overtaken backs off heavily either through incident or "mechanical" failure, then the position will not need to be given back.

You have openly acknowledged something wasn't quite right with the replays, and im the first to welcome the
new rule, it clarifies a lot of things. But i can't let this go knowing some people now have penalties and some don't when
initially there was quite a lot of jump starts according to your 'replays'

I've now ended up with a penalty from a warning i didn't technically receive last round, i never got a chance to say to myself
'[Censored] jay, just start a little later, you have a warning now' you sirs have robbed me i tell you  

If you wanted to be 'fair' this rule should of been implemented to start at Tsukuba.

Kilroy8 wrote:I don't mean to sound rude but what do you expect should happen? You still jumped the start, I know the rules have changed but that doesn't mean that everyone's penalty should be wiped.

BG Trash McNish wrote:the rules themselves havnt been changed a jump is still a jump but we just had to move the goal posts to allow for the errors that the replays provide us.
