Remit Discussion #68 - Allow Attacking car to Remove Itself (Read 926 times)

[percy]

Current Rule
R12-3-38 When a vehicle is the primary cause of an emergency stoppage, it is not eligible to restart.
Exception: Rollovers, see R12-3-47 below. Note: The intent here is that a stray wheel or wing is not part of a vehicle.

Proposed Change
R12-3-38
(a) If one or more cars are up the wall or with rollcages exposed, the race will be stopped to remove the primary cause of the emergency stoppage from the race.
(b) The Referee, once the danger has cleared, will give the unendangered car (not the primary cause of the stoppage) a 30 second opportunity to free themselves from the other car.
(c) If they are unable to free their car they will be removed from the race.

The way I read the proposed change would bring the rule into line with teams racing, I can't see any reason to not see it pass
