So are we supposed to go single filed up to the point when the leader says go?

So are we supposed to go single filed up to the point when the leader says go? sorry Roy, i forgot you werent here when we did the rolling start last time due to server issues... so after last weeks debackle i have decided to make all 2nd races a rolling start. its real simple, we just form up 2x2 Nascar style unless its a 3 wide start, then we roll 3 wide and take a half a lap around the track 50-100 mph when applicable... slow to 50 mph when close to the secondary S/F line and the leader (pole sitter) calls "GO" on Teamspeak somewhere in the vicinity of the secondary S/F line on the back stretch... see pics below...

Calling the green for the rolling start was exciting. I might have called it a little early, but I could not wait any longer! I did my best to lead a lap, or two, but understandably the faster cars caught up and drove by. With my pace, I might have to get used to this.

Driving Etiquette: • On track there should be give and take, Remember its a multiple lap race so you're not going to win the race in turn 1 of lap 1, the only thing you win is bragging rights to the other drivers so it won’t kill you to let someone back into line or let them gather it back up when they slip up. • We expect you to drive other players CLEANLY as you would expect them to drive you clean. • It is the Faster drivers RESPONSIBILITY to make their way around SLOWER traffic without incident. • If you happen to spin someone out it is NOT mandatory but we use it as an option and usually let the car we spun back in front of us, even if it means you lose a few spots in the process. As far as you (EXER) taking out Stash, this is the 2nd incident that has had the same result with you two and i have to step in and say this is NOT the type of driving we promote in IRONMAN... i have had complaints from other drivers that you (dive bomb) and you often put your car in places where it shouldn't be when attempting a "PASS" and causing incidents with others... I want to say we here at IRONMAN enjoy your participation and hard racing with ALL of us but unfortunately "PER THE IRONMAN RULES" you are being served a warning for "IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVING" and ANY other incidents that are "REPORTED" may result in further action with more severe consequences. Keep in mind the RULES apply to EVERYONE (including me) and i highly encourage ALL league members to re-read the Rules to make sure we are all on the same page.

For me vs Stash, first incident (last season) wasnt my fault, he steer into me.. Last incident it was my fault, but i couldnt do nothing to avoid. I didnt want to overtake him in that corner, or to crash into him, just didnt expect he will brake so early, and i couldnt do nothig about that. And after that happen, i waited for him to go on track first, so basicly i lost few places too, but i could go straight away on track and continue race, same as last time.
and about that other guy, may i see video what is that about?
I can say about xx other cases where people hit me, or did something stupid on track... Every race there are xx indicents, just watch it.. Racing incidents are normal, allways happen.

Or breaking way TOO late?Hummmmmmm..... At Donnington you had no business passing me there and took me out. As you stated you had no practice at the track. So WTF were you trying to pass there? Been doing this for 20 plus years pal. Quit blaming others and mind your own line. Admit you were wrong and move on. I have clips of both the incidents and we can post'em up and let the guys decide?
Lets move on and remember to run clean. It's only a game!
PS! Quit flashing your FUCKING HEADLIGHTS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what is funny thing about this.. as i said, there are XX contacts and crashes every race,but nobody complains about that.. But if I do something, then here it go, its on forum .
Why do you hate me, guys?
Do I do stupid things all the time? I make problems with other drivers?? last weekend i had only that 1 crash and contact. everything else was OK and clean...
I never complained to admin about nobody. and i could do that x times., but as you said "its just a game". For me it is, but for someone it is not, as we see..
I saw this few weeks (months) ago, that there will be some problems... But all good
btw, yes. I like to flash lights, dont know why.. just for fun I guess. But ok if someone bother that. I dont even notice if someone do that to me

@ Exer. Chill fella. We all make mistakes, that's a given. But most of us acknowledge the mistakes we make and apologise to the guy at the receiving end of our mistake. On top of that we try to learn from our mistakes.
Since it is clear you are aware you made a mistake or misjudged the entry to a corner. Apologise to Stash and try not to do it again.
It's the "over reacting" to the warning that rubs people the wrong way having them go on the defensive even more.
So some good advise, breath in deep, think about where you can improve the driving and enjoy the races ;-)

1st off, i will say i have nothing personal against ANY of you (except the guys faster than me lol) just kiddn...
as far as it being in the forums, well i see it as a lesson of what not to do in future incidents, sorry you had to be the example guy...
As far as i know being in the middle of this i dont think there is anything personal against you EXER... as an admin and the leader of this league, i have to take the rules seriously.... yes you are correct things happen every race, i know this because i have to watch the replays from every car after every race...
(ill admit some have been caused by me) but i never say anything about any of these incidents unless someone files a protest against anothers actions we just move on to next week otherwise im sure the league would eventually be down to just me and id have to fire myself for being a bad amin... thats no fun lol... i understand your frustration and anger about this and just remember if someone does hit you and take you out you have every right to file a protest... i give you props for waiting until Stash got going b4 you went on, thats a great gesture on your part (thank you) although i dont want this to turn into a protest everything league, but at the same time i want to make sure EVERYONE is treated fairly within the rules...
all you got was a warning (per the rules), no big deal... i will say, i know you are fast, you race hard and are pretty decent on the track, but..... there has been instances of you putting your car in a place where it shouldnt be while trying to pass someone (ive watched the videos) but nobody has ever complained until now... (exer) pleas know this... We ALL enjoy your competition on the track and hope this minor thing will blow over and you will stick around, if not i understand...
please everyone if you want to protest about something that happened, please feel free to contact me about it, or not...
and on that note ill say...
FUCK THE BULLSHIT..... LETS RACE!!!
