Moderator's ReportComplaint made that gaps in the field are opening up during warm up lap, specific complaint made by Johnny Dee that "JonM opens a huge gap to the leaders" at the chicane before the start finish straight. In my opinion JonM has not deliberately opened up a gap and its certainly not a huge gap. He is doing his best to maintain station. Looking at the replay, the gaps do seem to increase as you look further down the order, however, I think this is caused more by the cautious attitude of drivers slowing down to enter the final turn whilst the cars in front have/are accelerating slowly back to warm up pace. Server replay time: 209s JohnnyDee states that going into the Old Hairpin, JonM brakes too soon, "the replay shows that I keep the leaders' pace but he drops back". JohnnyDee locks the brakes going into the turn, then accelerates to fast on exit causing the back to step out.
Server replay time: 263s Dave Gymer and JonM are racing down the back straight, Dave has pulled out in an obvious attempt to pass Jon under braking into the chicane. Dave realises that Edam Speed is coming in fast at the chicane and pulls back onto the racing line to avoid being rear ended.
Server replay time: 264s Approaching the final chicane, Bernie Lomax slows to avoid contact with Dave Gymer who has moved back onto the racing line to avoid being hit by Edam Speed. JohnnyDee is already braking hard and cannot avoid tapping Bernie.
Server replay time: 266s Eddie Myer approaches the chicane and attempts to take advantage of the slower cars in front, he locks the front on turn in, takes a substantial cut across the first part of the chicane and hits JohnnyDee. He then leaves no room at all for JohnnyDee through the left had turn of the chicane resulting in further impact and loss of places to both drivers.
Server replay time: 285s Whitham69 gets a good run down the S/F straight on JohnnyDee but unfortunately has a slight loss of control under braking for Redgate, this causes him to swerve slighlty left before regaing control and side impacting JohnnyDee. This causes Johnny to be pushed out left and in getting the car back under control Johnny turns right more acutely than he would normally and side impacts Jamera. Jamera who had a good view of what was happening had back off going into Redgate and was more the innocent bystander.
Server replay time: 302s Jamera takes a wider and slower line into the Craner Curves allowing JohnnyDee to gain rapidly on him. As they go through the fast left Jamera contines to turn in towards the racing line with Johnny moving inside, Johnny makes no allowance for this but continues at full throttle through the turn knowing full well the car ahead is turning in and his own speed and momentum through the turn will cause him to drift out. Side contact is inevitable.
Server replay time: 316s Don goes wide at the Old Hairpin allowing Edam Speed to close the gap heading towards Schwantz curve. As they approach McLeans Edam has the inside line, but hes a little too fast and slides into Don. Fortunately Don holds it together but at the cost of a position.
Server replay time: 320s JohnnyDee gets inside Whitham69 going into McLeans with Jamera following behind. JohnnyDee doesnt get the acceleration coming off the corner due to his tighter line, Jamera gets a good run through the turn then realises JohnnyDee is picking up speed, you can clearly hear Jamera come off the gas. Unfortunately Jamera doesnt slow quickly enough and taps Johnny's rear. Both cars continue without loss of position.
Server replay time: 372s Bernie Lomax loses the rear entering Redgate spinning the car round. Sponsored By Gingsters is unsighted due to Popabawa and is making an attempted pass on Tom Cooper round the outside down the S/F straight. Gingsters did not see Bernie until he turned and with Tom inside him has litlle time to react. Gingsters hits Bernie throwing Gingsters car into the path of JohnnyDee who hits him quite hard. This forces Gingsters to retire.
Server replay time: 510s Eddie Myer goes through McLeans, on accelerating out he gets a slight rear slide. JohnnyDee has followed Eddie through the turn cleanly, Johnny comes off the gas but really has little chance to react and taps Eddies rear.
Server replay time: 667s Eddie Meyer goes wide at the Old Hairpin and JohnnyDee makes a good pass down the inside. As Eddie wrestles the car off the rumble strip and back to the track there is side contact between them.
Server replay time: 1142s JohnnyDee and Whitham69 are heading towards the final chicane, Johnny brakes far to late and goes straight on into the tyre wall and had to retire. I would not have normally have moderated this report, letting it go as a non accident as no one but Johnny was involved. However, Johnnys late braking could have so nearly taken Whitham out as well. I hope Johnnys close self examination of his drive at Donnington and subsequent reports has highlighted that his sometimes aggressive driving style can be dangerous. Johnny also displayed some excellent driving skills and I hope he takes some valueable lessons away from this and so improve on those skills.
