Yay, first!

• First racing lap (lap 2)
• 02, 09, 12, 13
• straight, just after green flag
• #02 gets loose on the grass, #09 swerves far too far over to the left, hits the #13, sending him into #12, causing damage that needs repairing.

Can be seen in the start replay.

Can be seen in the start replay.

#02 and #09 are both slightly in the grass as they approach the first bend in the front straight, but both maintain two tires on the paved areas (aka they aren't cutting). #02 gets a bit of oversteer and starts to slide. #09 sees this and makes a correction to avoid. Unfortunately he is 3-wide with the #13 and #12. These cars make contact and the #12 gets the worst of it.

In our view, this is a racing incident from the start. A simple case of bad luck. #09 made a reasonable move going left to miss the apparently spinning #02 car.
• First racing lap (lap 2).
• 32,41.
• S2, T9, 6:44 - 7:00.

41 was trying to pass 32 from the left, but he hadn't enough overlap and hit 32. 32 spinned and lost 12 positions.

Coming out of turn 7, #41 gets a run on #32 up the hill toward turn 8. As they round the bend toward turn 8, #41 pulls out for an inside pass. #32 moves to the left to defend, but #41 is already alongside. #32 remains to the left, 1-1.5 car widths off the normal line, pinching #41. As they approach turn 8, #41 brakes hard enough to lock his LF tire, trying to give #32 room at the apex. #32 turns across as if #41 is not there, still far to the left of the racing line, and the two make contact.

We find this to be a racing incident, but issue a formal warning to both drivers for being too aggressive at the start of a 24-hour race. #32 could have left more room for #41, and #41 could have backed off and tried a pass at a safer spot. We also issue a warning to #32 for unsafe track re-entry. We don't believe it was intentional, but the driver could have steered more to the right as he regained control and saved #48 and #44 substantial trouble.

#38 is simply careless and brakes too late, running into the back of #35 and turning him around. DT to #38.

There is a minor stackup into T3, and #48 attempts an opportunistic pass on the inside of #38. He hits #38, turns him sideways, and continues pushing him till he spins around, effectively bulldozing him.

DT to #48.
• The correct lap: racing lap 58
• The cars (/teams) involved 05 My3id Gaming GT1 and 37 nfinity eSports GT2

• And a short description from your point of view: #01 pushed us out because of late braking, causing us to spin, even though we were clearly in front.

Replay will be posted when available.

#05 clearly is showing that he wants to pass and is side by side well before the turn, #37 just takes the corner at normal speed/line expecting #05 not to be there.

Warning to #37 for not clearing look for lapping under blueflag

#02 gets a tow from #01 approaching T2 and makes an outside pass. At the beginning of braking, the #02 is fully ahead of #01. Both cars brake late (see #02's skid marks from the point of braking all the way to contact). They make contact at the center of the racing line in T2. In this case the fault is #01's, because he is on the inside line and it's his responsibility not to hit #02. However, as both cars were somewhat out of control and both were somewhat on the proper racing line, this is a racing incident, with a formal warning going to #01 to give more room/brake more safely when you know a car is on your outside.

• The correct lap: 97 lap (our #48, leader GT1 was on 104)
• The cars (/teams) involved #48 and #03
• The lap/sector/time: T9, end of 2nd sector, about 4h40min
• And a short description from your point of view. GT1 #03 was passing GT2 car #48 and crashed #48, very simple.

#03 was going side by side with #48 into T9 and again going into T10, #03 did not leave anyroom for #48 forcing him on the gravel resulting in both off them spinning, DT for #03 for careless driving and not giving room when lapping slower cars.
• The correct lap: our 134th lap, 84th since the previous disco
• The cars (/teams) involved #36 and #07
• The lap/sector/time: T7
• And a short description from your point of view. GT1 #07 was passing GT2 car #36. Simple case of divebomb from our driver's POV. We end up stuck in the sand and have to shift-P.

Will post replay when avail.

Answer to this protest of CoRe Racing GT2 #36 from Team Inferno GT1 #07:

Car #07 started an unaggressive overtaking move against car #36, braking early and going as much as possible to the inside, the driver of car #07 backed of the gas immediately when the driver saw that car #36 was unaware of the presence of #07!

In addition to that the revenge move after D.Lind got out of the pits again wasn't really fair too.
• overall lap 137
• 08- P. Diaz, K. Seifert(me) involved
• my (k. Seifert) lap: 128, Sector 3 before/in last chicane, 6:08:42
• I drove on the right side, so that 08-P. Diaz can pass me. He nearly do so, but then he comes suddenly so far to the right that he hits me on the front. this is why i come out of track.. you can watch it in the replay.

#07 was unsure on what #36 was going todo, #07 went commint to pass but at the last second #07 backed off after seeing #36 was not going to give up the racing line.

Normal racing incident

#08 clearly moves over ot the racing line without checking / making sure tzhat he is being past car #49.

dt for #08 for careless / dangerous lapping
The correct lap: 211 /GT2: 198/
The cars (/teams) involved: 03
The lap/sector/time: T1, after the corner
#03 hits #34 and causing us to spin
The correct lap: 186 8:23:50
The cars (/teams) involved: 12 04
The lap/sector/time: T9

#04 tries to pass down the inside to lap the #12 car, the #12 car stays on the outside giving #04 room to go through but #04 slides very wide forcing #12 to take evasive action to avoid contact with #04 but has no where left to go.

#04 made the pass on the inside stick but #04 ran to wide and gave #12 no room to move forcing it off track resulting in hitting the barrier.

DT #04 for passing with taking care with other cars around him.
