      @@Yom_Bristolit’s not caterham but the race organisers which is BARC, they provide the clerc of the course that makes the decisions. I agree it’s unbelievable, and should have been appealed. Caterham generally are on hand to try to lobby for fair results. But it’s not there say.

    • @placeholder2924
      @placeholder2924 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I think it was because it was deemed that neither was at fault and they didn't reenter in an unsafe manner. Having taken the escape road properly and avoided making another incident.
      These aren't seasoned drivers who have been doing this at a professional level for their whole lives. So we can't penalize them because we expect them to drive at the same standard.

    If you guys do something like this again I want to say that, rather than doing a compilation at the end, you could make an episode out of each race and people would definitely still watch it. I've really liked watching the start and progression of other TH-camrs breaking into real life racing, like SuperGT and Jimmy Broadbent, and I'd enjoy watching you too if you were to continue! Anyway, great job on doing so well even despite the bad luck! I'm sure there's a lot more that Scott could teach you too since it looks like you've got a good foundation.
    I know you've heard it before but the chemistry between you three really is great. You could even do a whole episode of Scott teaching you more advanced tricks/techniques and how much it advances your laptimes. Throw in some tidbits here and there of him and Will roasting the crap out of you when you're not there and you've got yourself a classic Overdrive video lol.
    I also really liked the videos where the three of you jump into random vehicles like those crazy karts or even the lawnmower racing. It's always good to see the three of you out on track together, no matter what it is you're driving.
