Race #3 (CHINA)
Appeal #1 (GhostSpeed Racing Team)
WC Race Director's Post-Race Checks incident #14#16#23#24
Drivers involved: Rob van Starkenburg / Phillipp Puschke
Verdict:
The appellant's facts are accepted. The 5-second time penalty to be added to Philipp Puschke's final race time is removed. In addition, the Court of Appeal has decided to reduce the 1.0 licence points penalty handed to Philipp Puschke to a 0.5 licence points penalty.
We are evidencing a trend of incidents where the alleged incident victim does not make any efforts or takes any measures to avoid an otherwise avoidable colission. When two drivers are battling for position, both drivers are responsible for avoiding a colission. This Court expects drivers to act accordingly to improve the league's general racing experience, and considers this factor when analysing appeals.
