[Fot] RGB Season Final Race

[Jason Ostrowski]

Entertaining YES! Brilliant drive as usual!
I must comment on how totally different the level of aggression is with your
sanctioning body from most club racing and virtually ALL vintage racing in
the U.S.
We race very hard and fast as well. But, pull some of the moves I have seen
by various drivers in your videos...
Your licence will most likely be suspended or put on probation.
Do it again and you may not be welcome back to race at all.
It is interesting that it seems almost every race weekend you have shown us,
a following driver approaches from behind in an attempt to pass and makes
contact with the rear fender of the lead driver.
This is simply not tolerated over here. And is... in most cases, likely
grounds for some type of probationary measure. and possibly suspension.
And to comment further... many have occurred very early in the race. As in
this case (with the two, front running cars, racing ahead of you) the one
contacts the other, with half the race to go...again in a questionable try
to say the least... taking both out of contention and letting you walk away.

In my opinion, this tendency seems unnecessarily aggressive. Patience and
good tact will reward a good driver with a pass... perhaps at a slightly
later point in the race... while giving the same racing enjoyment and a much
more mutual positive outcome.
Believe me, I understand that accidents happen and there are going to be
incidents with contact...but every race weekend...a few times?
It seems you guys may benefit from some tougher stewarding.... unless you
all enjoy weekly trips to the body shop.

Love your videos and envy your momentum,
Jason Ostrowski
