• The correct lap 6
• The cars (/teams) involved #01 and #27
• The lap/sector/time Lap 6, Sector 1 Turn 2
• And a short description from your point of view - #27 uses car #01 as a brake entering the T2 hairpin. As a result, car #01 loses 4 positions.
• The correct lap: 12 GT300
• The cars (/teams) involved: 04, 51, 64, 01
• The lap/sector/time: Lap 12 GT300 / sector 2 / 21:40.00 Replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: 04 divebombs 64 into T3, making 64 spin which 51 cant avoid. 01 also gets held up by this.
• The correct lap: 13
• The cars (/teams) involved: 06, 26, 51, 64
• The lap/sector/time: Lap 13 GT500 / sector 1 / 21:10.00 Replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: 06 and 26 are battling for position, as are 51 and 64. On the apex of t1 64 hits 26 which causes 26 to hit 06 and cause 06 to spin and lose 9-10s.
• The correct lap: 50 GT300
• The cars (/teams) involved: 51, 27
• The lap/sector/time: 50 GT3, SC1, 1:28:00.00 replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: 27 backs out from a divebomb on 51 into T2, but then decides to go anyway at the apex spinning us costing us 3 positions
• The correct lap: 34 GT300
• The cars (/teams) involved: 51, 14, 69, 17, 77
• The lap/sector/time: 34 GT3, SC2, 1:00:15.00 replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: 14 divebombs 69 into T3 and brakes too late, which causes them to have contact and 14 spinning to a stop on the race line. 14 then instead of turning right on to the grass to recover starts moving straight over the road causing 51 to hit 14.
• The correct lap: 2 GT300
• The cars (/teams) involved: 53, 61
• The lap/sector/time: 2 GT3, SC2, 0:04:35 replay time
• And a short description from your point of view: #53 not brake enough to avoid contact with #61 with result a spin and loss of two positions for #61
#53 comes from quite far back to make a passing attempt into the hard right-hand turn. #61 comes slightly off the normal line to defend, and #53 slides into him, spinning him out. In this situation, #61 has the position and is allowed to run the line he chooses, and it's #53's responsibility to overtake safely. DT to #53 for avoidable contact.
#27 simply goes in too deep to turn 2 and pushes #01 into a spin. DT to #27 for avoidable contact.
#64 is racing hard with #51 down the front straight as they are being overtaken by #26 and #06, who are also fighting hard. #64 is bumped a couple times by #51 (due to blocking). As they enter turn 1, #64 outbrakes #51 but runs into the back of #26, who collects #06 and sends him spinning. Oddly, #64 appears to release the brake just before contact. DT to #64 for avoidable contact.
#04 attempts a VERY late divebomb on #64 going into the AS7R hairpin, spinning #64 and collecting several other cars. SG to #04 for avoidable inter-class/lapping contact (rule K3).
#14 attempts to lap #69 entering AS7R turn 1, but loses it under braking, tapping the GT300 and spinning himself. He comes to rest in the racing line at the exit of the corner. As cars come at him at racing speed, he spools up his turbo and turns to his left (track right) travelling a few feet before collecting the oncoming car of #51. DT to #14 for unsafe recovery from a spin.
#27 attempts to lap #51 in turn 2, but seems to hesitate where he should take decisive action. He remains in #51's blind spot and spins #51 when he goes for the apex. Moreover, he attempts to use handbrake to make the corner, which causes him to slide even more into the GT300 car. While this would normally be an automatic SG (per rule K3) for avoidable inter-class/lapping contact, we are commuting the penalty to a DT to #27 in light of the fact that #51 did not leave sufficient room when he had reason to believe #27 might be to his inside.
