Sebring National Master Video Quiz
Here’s a video from last Sunday’s Sebring’s National Masters race.
The driver in the video, as alleged by irate Masters drivers after the race, committed three flagrant [3] blocking moves, either deliberate or the result of total track unawareness.
Can you identify these three moves?
The video is long [5 minutes in total] in order to provide context and avoid tell-tale focus on the three moves.
Click Here for the Video

Re: Sebring National Master Video Quiz
Video link fixed. There's a problem uploading files over 8MB, I think. If you have a large video, it needs to be sent to either myself or CDH for uploading, for now.

Re: Sebring National Master Video Quiz
Dom, I can see one minor move that could be protested, though I wouldn't dream of complaining about it. Unless the other moves have been edited out of the video I think I was expecting more out of Masters National drivers!

Re: Sebring National Master Video Quiz
Dom,
Without seeing what's going on in your rear view mirrors, I can't really tell if you are blocking anyone. You may or may not have, but the video alone doesn't tell the whole story. The cars ahead of you are all okay. Hardball racing, yes, but no major issues rules wise. The dive bomb car to your right at the hairpin had me falling out of my chair, it was so funny! Good heads up on your part!
There were a few items I saw that you could do differently to improve your exit speeds and car to car spacing, but we can discuss that next time I see you.
Cheers,

Re: Sebring National Master Video Quiz
Great feedback Gerardo. Yes, if we really wanted to settle it we'd need to see the in-car video from someone one or two cars behind Dom. Anyone have that?

Re: Sebring National Master Video Quiz
I agree with Gerardo you can't tell. It does look like you leave plenty of room for someone to go to the inside and they do. No major weaving back and forth. You are not even driving a defensive line. You are much too nice.
I think that is "I have no brakes" Dario flying by in the hairpin. I was watching in that corner.
