i think most of the time a prime cause can be found, but in some instances like the oil one, you may not, i think the prime cause should not score points in that race that is stopped,
I really think it needs to be a restart rule, either set the grid by the results of the first part, or do a single file restart like what is already in the rule book for endurance races
14.8a
In the event of a race stoppage the procedure will be:
Red Flags will be displayed at strategic points around the circuit.
All competitors still running will continue on the current lap, at a Safe
considerably reduced speed to the pits. Competitors must enter pit lane and
proceed to their respective pit area, but the Motorcycle MUST remain in Pit
Lane and not be taken into the garage area.
No tyres, fuel or repairs may be carried out.
Tyre warmers may be put on the bikes only.
The same rider must be on the same bike for the restart as was on the machine
at the time of the race stoppage.
The restart will consist of 1 warm up lap, followed by a green flag standing
start at the Start finish line
...these arguments, musings, suggestions are as perennial as the dahlias growing on the fenceline...they will flower again next year too...
Correct - What i'd point out - again - is that what is in the book is WHAT THE RIDERS WANTED.
I'd assume that as usual there will be a roadrace workshop at this year's conference. I'd also assume that this topic has gone on the agenda....
Can I also assume that those of you on here with strong opinions for change will try and attend, either as observers or delegates ?
Just think about it rather than do a runner.
How many riders crash as a result of another riders actions? A fair amount I'd suggest, they don't go running off to the steward and ask to be given points. If they have an issue with the offending rider they appeal the result and if substantiated maybe that offending rider looses out too.
The rue book is full of rule that dont work alongside each other and it needs to be thinned out .

And are you volunteering to complete this job on behalf of the road racing community? If not, why not?
