Moderator's Report
Not much in lap 1 and no reports. Looked like pretty good racing.

Nicky gets a good run up the inside of Geoff who has left the door open. They are racing side by side when GPL decides that they are too close. Neither driver did anything really wrong and there is a visible gap BUT drivers should remember that the cars are wider than they are painted. If in doubt leave a little room. Nicky could have been a little more patient and that would have worked better for them both.
Geoff is punted over a fence and Nicky's engine blows. Pity for both of them. Fulvio is rubber-necking and forgets to stay on track...

Sergio gets past Roberto on the tight inside. Roberto is a bit dozy and squeezes Clouds for room. Sergio could have been a bit more patient but was within his rights to attempt the pass.
This is a difficult incident to moderate as this is hard, close driving by two good drivers.
The Penalty Guidelines do not cover this exactly but this would appear to be covered under the Etiquette section It states: "If an overtaking driver has any part of their car beside another as they enter a corner, the driver being overtaken should not move across; they should give the overtaking car room and go through the corner side by side, or let them through into the corner and try to re-take them at the exit."
Roberto is guilty here of not leaving enough racing room for Sergio. Breach of etiquette perhaps but is it enough for a penalty?
