Lap 2 - Scierie - Alessandro Isacchini and Tristan Bot
From the start both drivers are evenly matched with Tristan trying to find his way around Alessandro in his very quick Ferrari. On lap 1 (Replay Time: 0:02:18) whilst exiting Gresil, Alessandro maintains a tight inside line before drifting out to the outside to take up the normal racing line. Although Tristan had moved out first, he wasn't in a position to overtake so Alessandro didn't block a legitimate overtaking move and when Tristan switched to the inside line, Alessandro drove fairly on the approach to Sciere and didn't move to block. Onto Lap 2 with Tristan trying everything to get past. As they approach Scierie for the second time, neither driver wants to give the other any room. The battle to be the last of the late brakers results in Alessandro running wide but he keeps all four wheels on the tarmac and exits the corner under full power. Tristan manages to keep a tight line under braking and has gained several yards on Alessandro and they exit the corner with Tristan having achieved a 50% overlap. At this point the vagaries on on-line racing take over, and although there is a clear gap on the server replay, the GPL collision engine registers contact. Tristan is out of the race but Alessandro can continue.
Neither driver did anything wrong although it would have been prudent to pay each other a little more respect and to leave each other a little more room. Two evenly matched drivers should be able to race closely and exchange positions without contact provided the limitations imposed by on-line racing are acknowledged.
