Hi Chris, you comment of 'I was recently on the receiving end of very courteous and sportsman like behaviour from someone waiting after an incident, and being on the receiving end of that was a highlight of the race meeting', add's to my point, your totally correct, in that part of what make the hobby 'fun' is not just about when you win, but also even if something happens, so long as there is 'Fairness' from both drivers involved in the incident, you still go home with a sense of enjoyment!
Sadly, at nearly all the 'local' club's I race at, one of the things you hear on a regular basis is 'the driving standards are disgraceful'
