Moderator's Report
There was a problem during the final lap which caused the server to lose track of Merlinthepike and Gomes Silva whilst they took the chequered flag. The results have been adjusted to show Merlin 5th, Gomes 6th, and Locutos 7th.

Ossie is following Cej very closely up the hill towards 12. Cej begins braking and moving towards the apex but Ossie brakes too late and runs into the back of him, putting Cej into the barriers and destroying his engine.
Whilst this is primarily Ossie's fault, especially as it was on the first lap, drivers must be aware that if they position themselves in the middle of the track at the beginning of a braking zone, they greatly increase the chances of the driver behind running into them if they make a mistake or simply underestimate how early the driver in front will brake.
- cej (ce) — advice — try to avoid starting to brake in the middle of the track
- ossie (Ossie) — penalty — rear ending Cej on lap 1 (reduced slightly) — 2 places lost

This starts with the leader lapping Dangerman as he comes out of the final turn, allowing Reign Man's TVR to close on and then get alongside the former's Porsche.
Dangerman moves right but is then squeezed back to the left by Reign Man, who makes contact with him in the process. This contact is uncesessary.
Reign Man then brakes slighty later for turn 1 and is half a car length ahead as they turn in. RM doesn't quite stay tight to the curb and Dangerman makes light contact as he turns in, but I regard that as a racing incident.
However, Dangerman then tries to take the line again despite the fact that the TVR is half a car length further ahead and within a car's width of the inside curb, and bounces off him into the gravel.
Dangerman was of the opinion that he was entitled to the corner because he turned in earler. Wrong, I'm afraid. The TVR was further ahead and had the inside line. To try it once could be regarded as a racing incident; to do it again (and take yourself off in the process) is foolishness. The replay doesn't leave much room for doubt.
