Xosé Estrada
Premium
Reported team: RPM
Reported car: Jesper Taulborg
Description:
During the qualifying of the last race, STC staff realized PSRtv responsibles wouldn't be present in time to start the broadcast normally, so a session restart would be needed. That implies I (Xosé) was trying to contact Ian from PSRtv, and David and Eckhart were taking notes of the qualifying positions, quite busy momment.
At a certain point, Jesper entered the staff TS channel and mantained the following conversation with us:
Jesper - Guys, can I re-enter the server?
Xosé - You are not in the server anymore?
Jesper - No, I'm not
Xosé - Ok, you can rejoin the server then.
David - Yes, is open qualy session, you can rejoin
Jesper - Ok, thanks guys
The STC staff assumed he disconnected from qualy session, so confirmed him he was authorized to rejoin, as everybody else did in this case in the past.
What we didn't know was that Jesper already had a qualifying attempt with this result:
It seems he made a mistake and then pressed ESC and left the server.
He asked then authorization to rejoin, and when he did he set a new qualy time.
In the conversation we maintained this first try was never mentioned, and we were never asked about authorization to make a second attempt.
We ordered the grid manually during warmup lap and this facts were never communicated to race direction also.
The incident was reported by more than one team and looks very serious to us, so we decided to report it in STC name.
