Moderator's Report
Nothing of note in the Red Zone but some nice close racing and plenty of respect...couple of 'off tracks' (you know who you are!) but these were unaided...
The server dropped Fabio's and Billy's original qually times but I can't re-instate that. Odd though.
Well done everybody.

BB gets a good run on Rog down to Copacabana. Rog turns in but BB's Honda is already there. Contact and BB spins out.
Rog feels that he turned in just as BB got there but the overhead view does not support that. See the Moderation post below.
Rules have this: "On a straight, the overtaking car moves out to overtake, maintains his line and has achieved 100% overlap but the overtaken driver moves across into him. There was no loss of control. Penalty for overtaken driver."
Normally this would be a two place penalty but it was an unfortunate end to some hard racing and the idea is to allow drivers to learn and improve. Given that it is the last race of the season, and the prizes have been handed out I don't think a two place penalty is required. The apology was also appreciated.
One other thing to note is that if Rog had taken a less defensive line by driving on the centre line there would have been more room for the overtake. As a matter of etiquette, drivers are asked not to drive down the centre.
Please also be aware that this incident was not moderated by me as we never moderate our own incidents so the decision on how to classify the incident is not mine but I do decide on the penalties applied.
