Moderator's Report
I think that there were more "incidents" in this race than the whole of season 22 GT's!! Even the rolling lap was not contact free??
Doni and Juha managed to tangle at the pit entry and although neither driver reported this as an "incident" it is perhaps worth a moderator's comment.
Any driver about to enter the pit can make clear his intention ( even if he does not use GPLWAIT with the automatic chat message) by holding a line close to the kerb and slowing gently and early. By the same token, a driver following any car as they approach the pit entry would be wise to allow for the possibility that the car in front is going to pit and give themselves a little room to take avoiding action.
A couple of drivers took more than the single Shift/R allowed under the rules and are therefore DQ'd ...yes I do check :o)
Only one reported incident(s) however.

Approaching Hawthorne Jason runs in a little too wide and Doni takes a tighter inside line to make a lapping pass on Jason. Jason's line tightens and suddenly the huge gap that Doni saw is fast vanishing into shadow as the big MK4 comes back towards the apex.
I have watched the reply from both drivers views and think this incident came about as a result of simple misunderstanding.
Jason expected Doni to wait for a better opportunity to make the pass and did not anticipate that Doni would place his Ferrari where he did. Doni on the other hand, had closed up on Jason to lap him and could be excused for thinking that Jason was taking a wide line to let him through at the apex.

The same two protaganists arrive at Druids and again Jason runs wide, and again Doni goes for the inside line. Having been caught out only a lap earlier by the same car/driver combination, one would expect Doni to exercise a little caution and self preservation and wait until he could make a certain and safe pass around Jason and his very unpredicatable Mk4. But Jason should also have been aware that his car was difficult to control and position on the track, and could have made sure of a smooth and predicatble line around the outside at Druids by braking just a little earlier so as to allow a faster car a clear passage on the racing line?
I do not think there was anything malicious on either side, only a slight lack of patience and judgement.
Caution. to both drivers to exercise more care
