Stuart and Don make contact into T1. Don attempts to ease up and let Stuart through into T1, Stuart stays a little wide and Don tags him when he starts his turn-in.
Don doesn't do much wrong, apart from maybe mis-judging how quickly Stewart will pass. Don stays wide and eventually runs out of track and has to make his turn-in and just catches the back of Stuarts car. I think Don could have eased off a little more if the intention was to let Stuart though.
Stuart seems to have taken his normal line through the turn and not taken into account that Don was still there. I think Stuart could have taken a slightly tighter line in this case
Make sure you have your spotter turned on, that may have helped in this case.
Racing incident.
- Don (Donald Wright) — advice — Leave a little more margin for error going 2 wide into a fast turn
- Simmo (Stuart Symonds) — advice — Leave a little more margin for error going 2 wide into a fast turn.
For advice only - unreported by victim, so penalty disregarded

After the previous incident Stuart is on the inside of the track facing the wrong direction, when he attempts to re-join the track he drives straight into John Stamper who can't do anything to avoid the contact.
It's very disappointing to see a re-join this badly thought through.
Instead of turning around off-track and rejoining safely, Stuart is facing slightly the wrong way around the track when he rejoins and so would have taken the entire width of the track to turn around anyway. This mean that for a relatively lengthy period he was causing an obstruction.
I don't think there's any other option than to award the maximum 3 place penalty.
