During the first attempt at Session 1 Race today, at the 9 lap mark, there was "The Big One."
The catalyst which set off the rest of the events in this involved cars 288 and 7.
Car 7 was under investigation at the time for bumping. On the entry to turn 1 that lap, he moved up into car 288's path, causing both to make wall contact and lose speed.
Going into Turn 2, he made contact again with car 288, but this was too close to call blame, and will as such be deemed a racing incident.
Through turn 2, he was being caught up by car 111. Car 7 was off the pace at the time, and as such will still be considered recovering from an accident. He was very close, and also at some stages, on the racing line while recovering. There was contact with car 111 on Turn 2 Exit, which sent both out of control.
The cars behind had nowhere to go when others who were very close to the start got in on the action.
In all this, the blame for it can be traced back to the initial bumping incident with Cars 7 and 288. Car 7 performed the bumping, and has been involved in several other incidents throughout the past 48 hours, and as such, Racer TomShanK will be placed on New Dimension Racing PROBATION for 6 months, effective immediately.
Probation means that any New Dimension-sanction event, be it with an NDR admin around (in our server) or an NDR league race, the probation person is subject to extra scrutiny and stiffer penalties when needed.
