Brief Description of Incident:

I'd like to make an appeal of the penalty i was given here. It was a bit of a hopeless blocking manoveur, granted, but nobody in that situation lost more than a second of time. Car 88 could've easily got me at the exit of this turn if he tried to passed me without contact and just aiming for the exit. 88 also tried to push my car out of the racing line when entering the oval just a turn before this happened, would you really expect me to give him room to go past after this kind of contact? If someone bumps in corners like that, it's safe to expect to be bumped in the next turn, which is also why I did brake a bit more excessively and dive on the inside line. I do not want to continue racing like this, though.

There are some small similarities to an incident that has happened before (3 rounds ago, to be precise) that coincidentally also includes a car included in this incident. This was not penalized, nor warned. Sure, it's a completely different braking zone than what we had today, but there is a similarity of swerving, and blocking mid-turn. This went on without a warning, even though there are 4 moves to cut off draft or block the entry into turn (I would deem first 2 moves legal, blocking the right lane 1st time and returning back to the original racing line, but there is still 2 too many after those). I have a clip of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75DJyQYuNyY, you can find this from the Round 2 Feature Race mpr, timecode @ 7:20.

This round 2 incident in particular is one of the reasons why i think giving a drive-through for this was too harsh. I do admit what i did wasn't exactly the best way to deal with the situation in hand, but it certainly could've been worse. Nobody was spun around there, nobody was seriously hurt and racing carried on normally afterwards.

Appeals must follow the appeals process laid out in NDR Sporting Code Article Vi, Section 4.
