As the formation lap gets under way silver53 takes up a position ahead of Don1, who had qualified ahead of him.
Even if you can't see the car alongside when stationary on the grid, you can always tell whether it's ahead or behind you by looking at the row in front. If the other car is ahead, the only reason you should pull away first is if they haven't moved at all for several seconds.

As the pack rounds T1 for the first time Aagramn locks up under braking and drifts wide, and Jan Duijs goes for the low inside line. As they pass the apex Aagramn tightens in again, not realising Jan has come up the inside, and there is contact with Jan getting pushed into the kerbing.
Once he found himself out wide Aagramn really should have held the outside line considering the first lap first corner likelyhood of a car being on the inside.
- Aagramn — caution — contact with Jan Duijs
For advice only - unreported by victim, so penalty disregarded

As Don1 turns in for the final chicane he locks up his inside front wheel under braking. Evert Blommert is close behind and tries to take advantage by moving to get alongside.
Don1 manages to hold the line however and, as he moves left (the normal line) to get a good run onto the main straight, there is contact resulting in Don1 crashing heavily.
At no point was Evert alongside, and Don drove the usual line so I have to penalise Evert for putting his car in a dangerous position.
In mitigation, Don does well to keep such a tight line and this clearly catches Evert out. Evert then basically ran out of road due to the wide racing line that leads onto the straight.

Aagramn is following Spacefox up to turn 10. Spacefox brakes relatively early and Aagramn has to brake hard, which unsettles the car on the brow of the hill. Aagramn catches the slide but loses momentum and Jan Duijs, who has already committed to the corner and is already braking hard himself, cannot avoid hitting Aagramn.

[RSms]Andy has been following Ruskus for several laps and as they approach the final chicane Andy tries a late lunge up the inside, resulting in contact and Ruskus being shunted off the track.
Andy came from quite far back and was never close enough to get alongside.
