Not much in the Red Zone although Clutch finds that driving in the woods is pretty hazardous.

Norm is a bit slow out of Esso but keeps a tight line. As he takes the kink his car naturally moves towards the middle of the track. Dean has got a better exit but gets a bit sideways but is placing his car to pass Norm and also moves towards the middle as the car is unsettled. As he straightens GPL decides they are a bit close and the cars spin catching Doni out.
I have looked at this several times and whilst this was avoidable had either driver given way neither was obligated to. In R/L they would have just had a drag race down to the corner. So neither driver did much wrong here but it is always advisable to leave a bit more space when passing. Particularly early on. Both could have.
Dean feels that Norm moved across. He didn't but he could have kept a tighter line. They are racing for position and Norm is under no obligation to give way. This is just close racing. Dean would probably have been better advised to wait a few yards before closing Norm down. He had the pace. His wobble at the kink is what puts his car so close to Norm.
