Summary
Evil Clive starts from pole followed by Tim and Piero. The start was clean until Dean gave Dave Rainier a bump and run move into Hugenholtzbocht. At the front, Tim tries to overtake Clive on the outside of Tarzanbocht, and it would have worked had he not touched the curb at the exit of the turn. Tim dropped back to third temporarily, but he quickly reclaims 2nd place. Sam moves up to third on lap 16. Clive is slowed slightly by lapped traffic, and Tim is back on his coat tails. Clive did not have any breathing room until lap 29 of 36 when Tim fell a long way off the track. Clive finished first. Tim is second and has the fastest lap. Sam Blood completes the podium for his best result of the season so far.
Note: It became obvious to me that some of the drivers do not have the Zandvoort Multi-Season Track update installed. In 1969, the multi-season track update includes a pit wall. Two people performed Stop & Go's in the middle of pit lane. However, when I viewed their S&G's without the pit wall update, it looked like they stopped close enough to the pit stalls.

Lap 1 – Hairpin – Dave Rainier is leading Dean Logan and Ronnie Peterson into Hugenholtzbocht. Dean is too ambitious on cold tires, and he bumps Dave at corner entry. They both have a half spin. Dean is bumped back in the correct direction by Dave’s car. Dave’s car rebounds off the Armco into Ronnie’s path. Ronnie’s car bumps Dave back in the correct direction. Dean and Dave continue without damage. Ronnie is able to continue with minor right front tire problems and severe right front suspension problems. Dean creates the incident report admitting that he was too ambitious on cold tires. Ronnie states that he would prefer that no penalty is given.
Under the typical scenarios for Rear End Shunt in the rule book, this would be classified as a “Blatant Rear End Shunt” because the victim made no mistakes and was driving their normal line at normal speed. Also, the shunter was in full control. In this situation, the incident did not cause too much damage or loss of time to the drivers involved. Also, Dean did a good job admitting his mistake and reporting it.
