Reported incidents/observed by race control:
@Quali 488 - Ignacio Hortal and Dan Svoboda have contact before the final turn. The report said that Dan had much more room on the outside and could have used that. I disagree. The track limit clearly indicates that Dan was at the edge of the track. While it is tolerated to leave the track in this corner it is not mandatory. The faster class always has to overtake safely, even in the qualification. You cannot expect the slower class to move out of the way and even leave the track for you. Drive Through to Ignacio Hortal.
@346 Robbie Bouchoms loses control of his car and crashes into Burak Sadikoglu. Drive Through to Robbie Bouchoms.
@845 and 1168 - In the first situation David Santos shows disrespect towards a slower class and simply pushes him out of the way and takes the apex. In the second situation he completely cuts of a slower class, almost causing a crash. 30 sec stop and hold to David Santos
@1021 Morten Faarup and Nico De Koninck in the GTR overtakes Morten Faarup in the 370z. This is not really a divebomb since Nico is far enough up on Morten at the point of turn in. Nico could have hugged the inside a bit more, Morten could have left a bit more room. The slower class sometimes has to give up an apex, especially when a pack of faster cars tries to get past. No further action.
@2905 Jesper Krogh and Pablo Suarez fight for position. Pablo tries to drive side by side with Jesper where there is really no room for that. But Jesper doesn't follow a natural line but rather tries to close the door while Pablo's splitter is already beside him. No further action
@2957 Jesper Krogh and Francesco Morante fight for position when Jesper pushes Francesco towards the outside of the track until Francesco loses control and bumps into Jesper. I don't know what Jesper is trying to achieve here but that's not how you fight for position. Warning for aggressive driving to Jesper.
@4114 Danny Kiiro in the GTR comes from too far back and has slight contact with Morten Faarup when lapping. This would have been no further action or maybe only a drive through because the contact was minor, it only cost Danny and this happens in an endurance race aswell. But Danny flashes his lights afterwards which clearly indicates that he does not understand what his responsibility is when lapping a car. We have to make sure that both classes understand their responsibilities which is why a harsher penalty is given. 30 sec stop and hold to Danny Kiiro.
@4376 Mark Hutchinson misses his braking point and tries to avoid Jesper Krogh on the inside of the turn. Drive Through to Mark. Jesper, you have to check your mirrors. Your reports make it seem like you just prefer to produce contact with someone that is slightly mispositioned. Even when it's not your fault you have to avoid contact at all cost. Just turn in later and let Mark slide through on the inside.
@4973 Rob Timpen in the GTR tries to lap Jesper Krogh. This is aggressive and borderline but Rob is side by side with Jesper at the point of turn in. No further action. Again, Jesper, this will happen to you in VEC and VLMS aswell. You will have to learn to give up your apex once in a while. It's not nice, I know how it is but that's what you have to do to avoid contact.
@5347 David Santos in the GTR tries to position himself at the outside of Jesper Krogh to lap him on the inside into the next corner. Jesper slips wide which causes contact. Now this if finally too much, Jesper, your racing line would have carried you all the way to the outside of the track with no room for a GTR to overtake you into the next corner. You cannot insist on your racing line every time. You have to work with the GTRs and sometimes that means offering a little more room on the inside for them to overtake. You only have to delay your acceleration a little bit which costs you 2 or 3 tenths. Together with all of Jesper's incidents before it's a 30 sec stop and hold to Jesper Krogh. In multiclass racing you have to learn to alternate your racing line to fit the traffic around you. This is important.
