Round 3 - Taupo - Race 2 Updated

Oh dear. Post race investigations have thrown up some interesting decisions. Dale has been penalised for the nudge to the rear of the Honda Civic, as it was caught on video tape and thought to be in breach of the rules. The penalty is a 50second addition to Dales race 2 time, which effectively knocks him all the way back to 9th place in his class, and a next-race start position at the back of the grid. Also there's 3 race demerit points.

Pretty harsh. But the worst thing really is that even though the Civic constantly hit the back of Dale's car during the race, causing a fair bit of damage, the driver receives no penalty as there was 'no evidence' of breaching regulations. This all despite us showing photographs and video of Dale quite clearly being spun in a corner from behind.

That's Motor Racing, I guess.
