[Scav3nger]

Stewards Report: Circuit of the Americas

Note: This is a preliminary stewards report, further incidents may be looked into and will be reported at the time.

Race One:

Nothing to report at this stage.

Race Two:

Incident Involving Car 55 – Jump Start
Car 55 (Woebegone6) was found to have jumped the start of the race and receives a 10 point penalty.

Incident Involving Car 2, Car 17, Car 4, Car 17 and Car 86
Car 86 (Hyboi) was turned on the exit of turn 1 by Car 17 (Scav3nger), this spin was deemed a racing incident after Car 17 was squeezed by Car 2 (MRN3Drifter) into Car 4 (UnusedDragon488).

Incident Involving Car 013 and Car 170
Car 170 (x06 The Doc 06x) attempted a pass on Car 013 on lap 1 turn 12 that was initiated outside track limits and subsequently completed by cutting over the kerbing on turn 13. As this incident was part of a greater incident outlined below, an official warning is given.

Incident Involving Car 4, Car 17, and Car 86
An incident on the penultimate corner saw a collision between Car 86 (Hyboi) and Car 4 (UnusedDragon488). Car 86 had a moment into the corner and contact with Car 4 was made, the subsequent transfer of momentum pushed Car 4 into Car 17 (Scav3nger), who lost position to Car 86 as a result of the collision. Car 86 redressed the position on the lead-up to the finish line. No further action.

Incident Involving Many Cars And A Notice to All Drivers
Cars 2, 3, 5, 013, 16, 17, 55, and 86 were involved in various taps, bumps, and paint trading throughout  the opening laps of the race. All drivers, not just those listed, are reminded that we are looking to avoid the carnage often seen in public lobbies. Feeding other drivers into corners, using them as your brakes, or bumping your way past is not the way we want to go racing.

Many drivers were involved in incidents throughout the first two laps that could have been avoided with a little more patience. Attempting to go 4-wide into, or out of, turn 1 or diving a little aggressively into the side of the car in front, are acts we would prefer to see less of as they have the capacity to breed more incidents through “revenge mentality”.
