My son was involved in the JTKM red flag in the final at Shenington last weekend.
The time differential between my son who had the 2nd fastest time in the final of a 44.32 against the novice who turned in on him of a 49.93 was beyond 110% which is the time which he should be within to have passed his ARKS. Infact he was over 1 second slower than the 110% time !
The camera footage clearly shows him completely unaware that my son had moved into his inside and him turning in and clipping the rear left wheel of my son.
The clark was firm but understood the situation and dealt with the incident (in my mind) fairly and issued a written warning to the novice.

Now for the moan: I watched the 2 novices in JTKM on the Saturday and neither were quick enough to have passed their ARKS had they have been tested on the Saturday practice. FACT

We have only been racing off novice plates
for 16 months. As a father I made sure from practice days that my son was compitent, reasonably quick and most of all safe. There is no way i would have sent my son out as a slow novice to race on Sunday after seeing the closing speeds on the Saturday practice.

My suggestion is that in the three laps practice the novice drivers have to show they can drive within a certain percentage of the fastest lap time.
