Thanks Snowman.

At least they apologized in the end, baulking is a big problem in this type of event when you are only ever getting two money laps out of a set of tyres.

Did he honestly mean to do it? Not saying that he didn't, but he did come to basically a complete stop at turn 2 to let you past on your flyer.

Was he on a flying lap as well? I assume not because that line into the hairpin wouldn't really work would it..?

And as said above, at least he apologized! Bad sportsmanship if he didn't, it just goes to show how competitive it actually has gotten!

Here is a small article from www.Speedcafe.com

See a little controversy goes a long way!!!

cheers dave

i like this line "In the Open Class, Sydney Evo driver Nik Kalis was the clear winner with a 1:34.82 ahead of John Boston in a Nissan 300ZX."

what the hell? lol. John Boston in the 300ZX was 3rd last (15th) in pro in the 300ZX and was 4th in open in the S2000. ahh I just realised what happened. they must have counted the 300ZX time in open instead of pro where it would be good enough for 2nd. funny.

lol, he broke his box hence being practically parked at T2 when glenney came past on his second flyer.... he was on his warm up when glenney was on his flyer. he should have buttoned right off and let glenney past out of T5, but when glenney was up his date around T8 (having been behind him for 3 corners already) and he finally decided he'd let him past it was too late as glenney was already going around the outside to get past him on the right going into T9 so when he moved right he ended up blocking glenney again. by that point he was about to get on it for the start of his flyer (and by now probably didn't want glenney past him since glenney would be getting off it somewhere after T1 where Dave would now be on his flyer) and simultaneously glenney realised that having been held up in 4 corners now meant his lap was screwed so just backed off to get some space and try again.

it was just a bit awkward more than anything else but really he should have just buttoned right off it somewhere around T5/T6 and let glenney go and then got himself set for his own flyer.

That was a lot worse than the RX7. He would have seen you coming from T5 as Baron said. He had ample time and opportunity to move across.... which he did..... right into your line! It almost looks deliberate which makes it even worse and completely justifies Glenney's and the I imagine the team's anger.

[mattye]

WOW That looks like he meant to do it So shit.....

[Beer Baron]

I will say this. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not (and we have no idea really) glenney showed what a pro he is not to lose his shit. I imagine it would have been sorely tempting to get right up his ass or even pass him out of 9 and give him the "wtf" gesture etc but that would have just compromised his next lap too. He took a deep breath (and probably let a few "fcks" loose), backed off for some room and got back to work. Sadly we don't always see that level of control on the international stage (FIA GT anyone?) well done glenney.

Thought I'd let you know that your car is getting a bit of exposure in a few of the popular Japanese Auto publications (Option,Option2 , Rev Speed) and on DVD here in Japan.
