A great win for Fulvio Policardi around the streets of Adelaide. Dean took the runners up spot and Clive rounded the podium, despite an interesting last lap between the pair of them.
Dave Rainier provisionally too the Privateers trophy this time out, but a collision with Fran paid to that unfortunately. The resulting penalty gives the win to Dave Curtis.
Three incident reports this time out. Findings are below:

Bob gets a better exit out of the last corner and tries to pass Fran on the pit straight. The torque of the Maserati engine keeps Fran level with Bob as they approach the chicane. Fran, unsighted to where Bob is, takes his line as if Bob wasn't alongside him. Bob does his best to avoid by moving closer to the pit wall but contact was inevitable with Fran taking his line.
This situation has occurred many times, with the same driver unfortunately. I may sound like a stuck record, but this is why Pribula is such a useful tool as the mirrors in GPL aren't fantastic. Listening to other driver's engine note can help too. If in doubt, don't move across the circuit.
Bob didn't do anything wrong, his attempt at a pass was legitimate. Unfortunately the blame in this instance has to lay with Fran.

Billy gets caught out of Jack 'O's braking point into Wakefield turn. Despite slamming on the anchors, he gives Jack the lightest of touches which causes Jack to pirouette.
Jack's braking point was consistent on this lap with his others. Bill typically braked later on his clear laps. Simple rear end shunt on Bill's part.
I've applied a one place penalty on this one due to Bill's efforts at avoiding the collision.

Dave Rainer goes into Rundle road a bit hot this lap and collects Fran up ahead. Fran typically takes a wide line at the corner and didn't deviate on this lap. Dave typically took more corner speed than Fran on his other laps, but it was debatable whether he would have made the corner given the extra speed he took on this lap. Fran was an innocent victim in this instance.
