Welcome to the 6th race report of Season 14 in Summit League Racing.

Ticket # 394 - Qualifying incident between LTKtarrierYT & BrushyPancake93

Verdict: Qualifying Ban & 3LP to BrushyPancake93

Detail: The stewards agreed that this was a clearly avoidable incident and that Pancake did not need to brake in the manner that he did to break the tow. This caused the crash for Tarrier and the full blame goes to him.

Ticket # 395 - Lap 13 incident involving SLR Jam40 & EVE Luke Speight

Verdict: 3s + 1LP to EVE Luke Speight

Detail: The stewards agreed that a small time penalty was to be applied here - Luke comes across Jam under the braking, causing the collision, damage and a spin for the McLaren.

Ticket # 396 - Lap 2 incident involving raceroller22 & BrushyPancake93

Verdict: No Further Action

Detail: The stewards agreed that due to the nature of the corner, Pancake was always going to come across, and he definitely gave enough room for roller here. They met in the middle when roller was drifting over, and that is what caused the incident and crash.

Ticket # 390 - Lap 1 incident involving SLR Petronas, SK1 F33 & F1ABQW3RTYYY

Verdict: No Further Action

Detail: The stewards feel that this is just a Lap 1 '3 into 1 doesn't go' scenario. Ski Fee is entitled to go for the move, Qwerty is sandwiched and Petronas leaves space, but the contact is made between the 3 which causes Petronas to spin.

Ticket # 391 - Lap 16 incident involving Ulsterstig & LTKtarrierYT

Verdict: No Further Action

Detail: Tarrier & Stig make slight contact, but the stewards feel that neither driver is predominantly to blame for both ending up in the wall.

20. l 21 l Maxwell (DNF)

Ticket # 393 - Lap 1 incident involving BlackSpartan133 & WillyBum7

Verdict: No Further Action

Detail: The stewards acknowledge that WillyBum suddenly slowing down is very likely due to controller issues and having to pause the game, and that the Sauber driver has done as much as he can to get out of the way of everyone as he is off the racing line. It is unfortunate for BlackSpartan but the stewards agree that it is not a purposeful brake check so a penalty will not be applied.
