[Mikko Puumalainen]

Incidents:

#1

Driver(s) Involved: Jeffrey Rietveld, Jack Keithley

Lap/Replay Time: 6:28, 6:33, Lap 2

Review: Rietveld and Keithley are approaching T17, Rietveld attempts to pass Keithley by outbraking on the inside. Rietveld runs a bit deep, forcing Keithley to go over the exit curb and have a poor line for the next corner. Keithley dives to the inside for T18, making contact with Rietveld despite Rietveld leaving room on the apex and does the same in T19, although this time Rietveld turns in early without giving any room. Rietveld keeps the position.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for Jeffrey Rietveld & 0.5 Penalty Points for Jack Keithley

#2

Driver(s) Involved: Yannick Lapchin / John-Eric Saxen

Lap/Replay Time: 7:54

Review: Lapchin and Saxen are approaching T11. Lapchin doesn't seem prepared for Saxen to brake and misses his braking point. Lapchin makes contact with Saxen's rear left and both cars run wide in the corner. Lapchin waits for Saxen to pass him as both cars rejoin the track.

Verdict: Racing Incident, since Lapchin waited for Saxen to repass and Saxen's race didn't seem to be compromised any further.

#3

Driver(s) Involved: Varga / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 38:29

Review: Lapchin and Varga are heading for T11. Lapchin goes on the inside to outbrake Varga, getting alongside and matching Varga's speed as they reach the turn-in point. Varga gives room on the inside. Lapchin misses the apex slightly, which would force Varga to drive on the very outside to stay side by side. Varga makes an early decision to cut the corner and keeps the position.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for Peter Varga

#4

Driver(s) Involved: Csuti / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 43:35

Review: Lapchin and Csuti are approaching T8, Lapchin is alongside and slightly ahead on the inside as they reach the braking zone. Lapchin lifts off early which allows Csuti to gain an advantage during the braking and move slightly ahead of Lapchin before the turn in point. Lapchin then makes a late dive on the inside, making contact with Csuti and forcing Csuti in to a half-spin, with Lapchin keeping the position.

Verdict: Read Incident #13.

#5

Driver(s) Involved: Varga / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 47:30

Review: Lapchin and Varga are entering T17, Varga's apex speed is 86kph, which is approximately 4kph slower than his other laps but 10kph slower than the cars around him. This seems to catch Lapchin off guard and he runs in to the back of Varga. Lapchin then does a deep lunge in to T18, resulting in contact between Lapchin's right rear and Varga's left front tire. Lapchin then runs wide in T19, going across the exit curb and rejoins the track with an odd trajectory, nearly hitting Varga.

Verdict: Read Incident #13.

#6

Driver(s) Involved: Varga / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 48:37

Review: Lapchin is behind Varga as they are approaching T8. Lapchin attempts to outbrake Varga despite being several car lengths behind. He dives on the inside and makes contact with Varga who is also turning in. Lapchin runs wide and Varga keeps the position.

Verdict: Read Incident #13.

#7

Driver(s) Involved: Dian Kostadinov / Zoltan Csuti

Lap/Replay Time: 27 / 48:41

Review: Csuti and Kostadinov are approaching T8, Csuti is a massive 7 car lengths behind Kostadinov. As they reach the braking zone, Csuti is able to get alonside Kostadinov and match his speed as they begin to turn in to the corner. Kostadinov seems unaware that Csuti is there and the two make contact despite Csuti going fully on the inside curb. Kostadinov spins and loses an additional position to Leppälä.

Verdict: Racing Incident, perhaps Kostadinov was watching the incident happening ahead of him which is why Csuti was able to gain so much time under braking.

#8

Driver(s) Involved: Jeffrey Rietveld, Jack Keithley

Lap/Replay Time: 51:56, lap 29

Review: Rietveld and Keithley are approaching T11. Rietveld goes to pass on the outside of T11 with Keithley giving space. The two are then side by side in T12 with Rietveld keeping a tight inside line and Keithley going around the outside. As they reach T13 Keithley is still alongside but Rietveld turns in using his normal line, causing Keithley to go over the very bumpy inside curb, and making contact with Rietveld. Both cars run wide with Rietveld keeping the position.

Verdict: +5s added to racetime for Jeffrey Rietveld

#9

Driver(s) Involved: Csuti / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 59:39

Review: Lapchin spins while braking for the pit lane speedlimit. He does a 180 on the inside of the pitlane, without any danger to other cars entering the pits.

Verdict: Nothing.

#10

Driver(s) Involved: Dian Kostadinov / Zoltan Csuti

Lap/Replay Time: 37 / 66:11

Review: Csuti and Kostadinov are side by side through T11, with Csuti on the outside. As they reach T12, Csuti goes fully over the inside curb, causing his car to lift off the ground and understeer deeper in to the corner exit. Kostadinov on the outside is unaware of this happening, and as they exit the corner, Csuti's car makes light contact with Kostadinov, causing Kostadinov to halfspin in to the barrier and ending his race.

Verdict: Racing Incident, Csuti gave space, the contact was an unfortunate side effect of running over the undriveable curbs.

#11

Driver(s) Involved: Csuti / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 66:15

Review: Lapchin nearly attempts an overtake in to T14, but backs out of it.

Verdict: Nothing.

#12

Driver(s) Involved: Csuti / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 66:29

Review: Lapchin nearly attempts an overtake in to T18, but backs out of it.

Verdict: Still nothing.

#13

Driver(s) Involved: Csuti / Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: 67:49

Review: Lapchin and Csuti are approaching T11. Lapchin goes to outbrake Csuti on the inside, missing the apex slightly. As they reach the outside line of the corner, they make contact, forcing both of them to cut the corner. Csuti runs over an anticut in the runoff area and slows down some more, allowing Lapchin to gain momentum and get alongside Csuti. As Lapchin is about to move ahead of Csuti, he turns in to the path of Csuti, causing himself to spin and Csuti to take the position.

Verdict: 1 Race Ban for Yannick Lapchin, multiple similar incidents in the same race, plus unsportsmanlike behaviour in incidents #5 & #13.

#14

Driver(s) Involved: Patrick de Wit / Philipp Puschke

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 1 - 4:12

Review: De Wit and Puschke are heading for T8. De Wit brakes on the racing line while Puschke is battling with 2-3 more cars behind him. Puschke brakes on the inside and moves alongside De Wit as they reach the corner. They make light contact with De Wit keeping the position.

Verdict: Racing Incident.

I have a question :
Must I allocate in Interlagos to serve my penality ?

No, it will be served automatically.

 

[Rasmus Tali]

I am sorry for mistakenly sending wrong file if I send correct one can I get to start normally for the last race?

 

[Dian Kostadinov]

What i had to do when Csuti hitted me and i crashed in the wall. I left him enough room for the corner but he touched the curb and cut into me. Sorry but i can not accept that racing incident.

 

[Zoltan Csuti]

Kostadinov,sorry for the incident..

 

[Yannick Lapchin]

I want to apologize for showing a bad minded behaviour on track sunday.
Some things had totally upset me and I acted like a fool. I have no excuse for these facts.
It was first time and last time I do it.

Good luck for the last race of the season.

 

[Eros Masciulli]

I don't know the specifics of that situation, but this is how I've dealt with situations like this in WC.
