Mikko Puumalainen · Apr 23, 2013

Incidents:

#1

Driver(s) Involved: Jernej Simoncic, Fredrik Nilsson

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 1 / 03:28

Review: Simoncic is waiting for the lights to go out as he accidentally lets go of the LC button, causing him to jump the start. As his car begins accelerating, he hits the brakes and stalls his car. At the same time, the lights go out and the other cars get moving. Nilsson is directly behind Simoncic on the grid and is unable to react in time, hitting Simoncic and causing damage to both cars.

Verdict: Racing Incident, unfortunate mistake by Simoncic

#2

Driver(s) Involved: Zoltan Csuti, Blair Disley

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 1 / 03:33

Review: Disley leaves his gridslot and has to back off to avoid the incident between Simoncic and Nilsson happening in front of him. Disley slows down an appropriate amount while moving towards the inside wall. Csuti is starting 4 positions behind Disley and is heading towards the scene. Csuti keeps accelerating until he's only a few meters behind Disley, which results in Csuti making heavy contact with the back of Disley's car, causing terminal damage to both cars and sending Disley spinning across the track, hitting Marconi along the way.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points for Zoltan Csuti

#3

Driver(s) Involved: Jack Keithley and Marco Zipoli

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 2 - 05:18

Review: Keithley and Zipoli are heading for T1, with Zipoli in front and on the outside line. Keithley pulls out of the slipstream and has his front wheels alongside Zipoli's rear wheels as they begin braking. Keithley doesn't gain any ground during the braking zone and as they turn in to the corner, Keithley dabs the throttle as he goes over the inside curb, understeering in to Zipoli's car and taking the position because of this.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for Jack Keithley

#4

Driver(s) Involved: Giuseppe Marconi, Zuhaitz Cabo

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 3 / 07:04

Review: Marconi is several car lengths behind Cabo as they head towards T1. Marconi seems to miss his braking point and makes moderate contact with the rear of Cabo's car, causing Cabo to run wide but keep the position.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for Giuseppe Marconi

#5

Driver(s) Involved: Dian Kostadinov and Yannick Lapchin

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 3 - 07:14

Review: Kostadinov and Lapchin are heading for T4, with Kostadinov being multiple car lengths behind Lapchin. Kostadinov brakes late and dives on the inside, locking his brakes as he approaches the apex. Lapchin is giving more than 1 car width of space on the inside, but Kostadinov slides wide, making contact with Lapchin and taking the position.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points for Dian Kostadinov, nearly identical incident to Melbourne

Mikko Puumalainen · Apr 23, 2013

#6

Driver(s) Involved: Morgan Morand, Bono Huis

Lap/Replay Time: 26:20

Review: Huis and Morand are approaching T1, with Huis in Morand's slipstream. As Huis goes to move on the inside, Morand makes a sharp move towards the inside, not allowing Huis room on the inside if he were to pull alongside. Huis lifts off and loses some momentum while starting to manouver himself towards the outside. Morand begins braking about 20-25 meters before his braking point compared to his previous laps, partly due to being on the inside of the track, but still somewhat early. Huis is caught off-guard by this and makes moderate contact with the rear of Morand's car, most likely causing damage to both cars.

Verdict: Official Warning for Morgan Morand, the blocking move was legal, but Morand started braking too early compared to his previous laps, which caused a dangerous situation

#7

Driver(s) Involved: Bono Huis and Morgan Morand

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 16 - 28:03

Review: Huis and Morand are side by side as they approach the braking zone for T1. Huis brakes later than Morand, running deep in to the corner and committing to the outside line. Huis is right at the edge of the track as Morand tries to eliminate all extra space from Huis but has a slight oversteer moment and has to straighten his steering momentarily, resulting in contact with Huis, which allows Huis to secure the position.

Verdict: Racing Incident, Morand made a mistake but Huis got the position in the end

#8

Driver(s) Involved: Jack Keithley and Morgan Morand

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 29 - 49:08

Review: Keithley and Morand are approaching T1, with Keithley in Morand's slipstream. Morand initially moves to defend the inside, which prompts Keithley to take the outside line. However, they both simultaneously decide to switch sides, with Morand going to the outside and Keithley to the inside. Keithley slowly closes the gap between his and Morand's car, barely getting his front wheels alongside Morand's rear wheels as Morand begins to turn in. Keithley continues to slowly move further alongside Morand, resulting in contact with Morand's sidepod and for Morand to run wide, but keep the position.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for Jack Keithley

#9

Driver(s) Involved: Peter Varga and Morgan Morand

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 39 - from 65:20 to 65:59

Review: Morand is closing in on Varga as he is about to lap him. Varga is following Marconi closely in their own battle, as Morand follows about 1 second behind for the 2nd sector of the lap. Morand catches Varga as they enter S3 and he loses some time at the second to last corner before Varga gets out of the way.

Verdict: Racing Incident

#10

Driver(s) Involved: Morgan Morand, Ivar Kalamees

Lap/Replay Time: 66:21

Review: Kalamees is following Morand on the main straight. He tries to use every meter of slipstream before moving towards the inside to pull alongside, however as he reaches the rear of Morand's car, Morand moves towards the inside, resulting in Kalamees making moderate contact with the rear of his car.

Verdict: Racing Incident, this is what can happen if you try to use every meter of slipstream

Mikko Puumalainen · Apr 23, 2013

#11

Driver(s) Involved: Ivar Kalamees and Morgan Morand

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 40 - 66:55

Review: Kalamees is following Morand through T6 and T7, multiple car lengths behind as they reach the braking zone for T8. Kalamees brakes late and dives to the inside, making contact with Morand at the apex, forcing him wide and resulting in Kalamees taking the position.

Verdict: +10s added to race time for Ivar Kalamees

#12

Driver(s) Involved: John-Eric Saxen and Marco Zipoli

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 45 - 76:06

Review: Saxen and Zipoli are side by side as they begin braking for the final corner. Zipoli is on the outside and leaves plenty of room on the inside for Saxen to take a comfortable apex. However, Saxen misjudges his entry and hits the inside curb, causing his car to jump in the air and understeer in to Zipoli, causing Zipoli to lose momentum and another place to Kostadinov on the oncoming straight.

Verdict: 0.5 Penalty Points for John-Eric Saxen

#13

Driver(s) Involved: Jack Keithley and Morgan Morand

Lap/Replay Time: Lap 57 - 94:30

Review: Keithley and Morand are approaching the final corner, with Morand several car lengths in front of Keithley. Morand begins braking at a normal spot. Keithley initially does the same, but he brakes lighter than usual, rapidly closing the distance between himself and Morand. Keithley makes a late move towards the inside, making contact with Morand, causing Morand to run wide and Keithley to take the position and keep it as they reach the finish line.

Verdict: 1.0 Penalty Points & Disqualification for Jack Keithley
