Session of Incident: Race
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident: (Lap 43) @ 1h:02:20
Car(s) involved: #92 & #55
Location of Incident: T1
Brief Description of Incident : 55 came from the pits after his DT, 92 was about to overtake him with a lot greater speed, but then 55 suddenly turns on 92, causing 92 to lose control.
No penalty. In the server mpr, both cars do not seem to actually make contact, but react as if it was made. However, the loss of time was not significant, and Car 55 did not gain time in the course of the incident.
Car 55 - Causing an avoidable incident with a blue flagged car. There is no reasonable expectation for Car 69 to yield to the flagging car as quickly as it would have been in this situation. The following car is responsible for first initiating a safe overtake. DT penalty.
Car 55 - Warning for causing an avoidable incident. The entire cause is not solely on the 55, the 92 was also squeezing the line a bit. Car 92 is given a Caution for this apsect. Car 55 majority fault, contact would have been made regardless of 92 squeezing.
Car 55 - Warning for blocking (sudden line change). Car 92's spin was self-induced, while recovering from the contact.
For the combined incidents, DT penalty to Car 55. Both DTs will be applied as DTs. A DT costs approximately 12 seconds, so the penalty is 24 seconds.
All cars completed the compulsory pitstop.
No violations of the spectate rules.
