[Valerio Vinassa]

incident with Bob L. in lap 4 just before last chicane Bob spin around track JIm come out really close to Bob for me the room was too close so I take the Bob side lost wheel and wing race over.
is an incident race happen

 

[Alberto Casado]

this time I had the laptimes to really drive together with somebody

Lap 3, getting very near Kennet, planning where to overtake, I get a tad too close, so I have to brake and I slide a bit. Steve, who was behind, tries to pass on the inside, we touch, I lose control, rear wheel out and that was the race for me.

I don't think the overtake was unfair, I simply did not see him (was more occupied catching the slide), and then the contact in the middle of the turn was final.

* I might add, I have the virtual mirror because the normal ones fall out of my screen, I believe he was right in my blind spot.

 

[Bob Laube]

the first 4 laps would sooo cool, I came up to position 12!

Unfortunately, I came to the 130R a little too far to the outer curb
and turned at 250 km / h
even before I came to a standstill
I was unfortunately in the line of vale and ruined his race

My very, very sorry to Vale

Hope, we got more luck for the next events

 

[Nicolas Rouge]

One lapping incident with Kurt (sorry mate, I was stupid).
A tap from Steeve at the end, no problem for me.

 

[Valter Ostman]

Sorry if I blocked you Tim. Thought it was Anthony. I got no blue flags. I always respect blue color.

Kennett, I'm very sorry for turning your car around in Casio.

Incident 3 : Once again, stay focus to avoid stupid off track rides. I don't think i could stay much more on the left to leave more room to Valter without making it dangerously close to the grass. Maybe Valter could just lift up the throttle a bit entering the 5th gear right hander before the hairpin, and stay more right. My plan was to keep it as much left as possible and make a very tight hairpin, as i thought that was the safest thing to do. At least we didn't had an accident, just a bit of work for my mechanic crew.

- I perceived it as we raced for position. Isn't the rule that the outside car yields if there is no room when you go side by side? And in your clip it looks like there was a smallish space for your car on the left. But of course I'm sorry for the contact Steeve, it wasn't intentional to go that wide.

Valter followed his line and I touched his right-rear wheel, he spun Now I see that I had to wait for him, but in the cockpit I was sure that my attempt was completely legal and there was not my fault. Now I see that I was wrong. Sorry Valter.

- No problem Alex. You didn't see what happened.

I will check the replay later and produce a better incident report. Right now I'm on my way to my daughters family in Stockholm, a 450 km drive in wet and maybe some frozen wet. Hope I can avoid contact and going off track

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

no problem mate happen better not happen but sometime

was too late try to turn on left for avoid Bob.I had chosen to move to the right because he was first to the far left but him spin again and across the track at right

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Got rear ended twice, no damage. Both in the last chicane, i had VERY conservative braking distance, sacrifing on brakes but gaining on exit.. With engine map 1 i could put throttle down before the car settled.

Vale: those situations are like a coin toss, it's 50/50 chance, left or right.

 

[Kurt Kjellin]

One lapping incident with Kurt (sorry mate, I was stupid).

NP Nicolas no damage the car was OK

 

[Alex Galyutin]

Got rear ended twice, no damage.

One of this was me I am really sorry Kennett. It was my fault.
Later (after watching the replay) I will post an accident report (there were some)

 

[Tim McIver]

No worries Valter, I know you are normally very good on the blue flags. It's a shame they weren't working. Luckily I wasn't going to get back past Reik unless he made a big mistake and I had plenty of breathing room behind.

Had a couple of incidents with Peter early in the race. I'll have a look at the replays later and report in.

 

[Jim Hawley]

1 small incident to report

End of lap 3

Braking into the chicane I touched Bob L's rear left, this was the lap before Bobs big off, I hope there wasn't any damage that could have contributed to his accident 1 lap later?

Bob? were you ok after the touch?

Jim

 

[Dino Paolini]

No incidents

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

No incidents if I remember correctly

 

[David Turnbull]

no incidents to report

 

[Anthony Ishak]

TS 846 incident with Peter.

Peter had a spin earlier and came behind me , he had a better exit out of spoon curve and tried a pass on me, then suddenly his front right hit my rear left , my car span and hit the wall with the front first . the car was heavily damaged , the steering wheel was bent and lost the front wing. i had to let everyone pass me as the car was un-drivable.
After repair i came out 2 laps down

Peter did wait for me , I am not sure what exactly happened there , watching the replay it seems Peter lost control right when he tried the pass.

Anthony

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

One of this was me I am really sorry Kennett. It was my fault.
Later (after watching the replay) I will post an accident report (there were some)

NP, you got decent punishment as i was entering the pits anyway that lap leaving you to confusion when you waited for me to pass ,,..

 

[Bob Laube]

1 small incident to report

End of lap 3

Braking into the chicane I touched Bob L's rear left, this was the lap before Bobs big off, I hope there wasn't any damage that could have contributed to his accident 1 lap later?

Bob? were you ok after the touch?

Jim

I have not noticed Jim
no problem with me and the car

 

[Anthony Ishak]

Sorry if I blocked you Tim. Thought it was Anthony. I got no blue flags. I always respect blue color.

I understand your confusion Valter, i confirm we had a nice fight there for many laps but i pitted on lap 27 , I guess Tim came behind you right after that. that was an unlucky moment for Tim

 

[Bob Luneski]

Got rear ended twice, no damage. Both in the last chicane,

I think the other tap may have been me, but I can't find it on the replay. If so, sorry and glad there was no damage.
