Counter Protest
Session: Race
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident: L4 / 11:05
Car(s) involved: 88, 98
Location of Incident: T16
Brief Description of Incident:
1.1 Car 98 has room (1 - 1.5 car widrh) on left outer side of circuit but chooses to hold tighter line (fair tactic) however, my car was already alongside on the inside on corner entry, and as I adjusted accordingly to compensate for Car 98 line change.. when applying power on exit and with regular minor counter steering movement, due to lag had exaggerated the car placement and caused Car 98 lag contact, flick upward and pivot around my front bumper.
1.1.2 It was not in my best interests to P.i.t someone into a spin, let alone have car contact that way,
1.1.3 Steering movement from my car was not heavy or abrupt, although I try to predict and compensate my steering in advance of the netcode hitbox, I am not able to reliably do so especially when the car ahead is not predictable...
1.2 Sorry Jarod, but I don't know what else I could've done beside ceasing acceleration completely to wave you by :/ Didn't think the actual contact could've been anything more than a 0.4x cc but the ping must've made it worse as your car jumped up off the ground
That's all -

That is not how this works. There is no such thing as a counter protest. You are welcome to protest the incident also but we ask for a BRIEF description as it is down to the stewards to decide what happened. This is not a discussion thread.

Due to the above, your 'counter' protest is null & void and will not be considered. Please be aware that repeating such type of protest may result in penalties (see NDR Sporting Code May 2020 Article XI.1.4).

Should the stewards wish to ask for additional info, they will ask for it. A protest needs to be what, where and when. Not the why and how.
During the event, the following penalties were applied by the stewards following reports from the Race Director.
Race
Car 97 - Drive Through Penalty - Unsafe Re-Join (Lap 8 - T10-11)
Car 24 - Drive Through Penalty - Causing a collision (Lap 10 - T7)
Car 14 - Drive Through Penalty - Causing a collision (Lap 13 - T17-18)
Car 88 - Drive Through Penalty - Causing a collision (Lap 26 - T1)
