Moderator's Report

Server replay time: 184s

This is a tricky incident to moderate, in the event that only Mark and Fabri were involved it would be fairly clear cut and easy to moderate.
However, in this case the incident was complicated somewhat by the addition of Barone who had opportunistically snuck inside of Mark's car while entering Cimini 1.

In the Replay Fabri can be seen taking avoiding action to avoid rear-ending the car in front when braking into Cimini, he then traverses the outside of the corner and avoids the racing line in doing so - Cimini 2 has a gravel trap to the outside of it's exit so Fabri moves to rejoin before this aiming around the apex of Cimini 2.
He can be seen to leave room on the inside at Cimini 2 for any car on the racing line to fill at this point.

So far this is all good and by-the-book.

Unfortunately what Fabri cannot see in his mirrors, is the fact that the car behind is actually 2 cars - Mark and Barone - who are side by side at this point. As a result the gap left is not big enough and Fabri's line through Cimini 2 results in Contact with Mark at the Apex.

The rules state that "a driver who spins or otherwise departs from normal circulation of the circuit bears primary responsibility for rejoining the race safely."
and goes on to state that:
"Where practical, rejoining drivers should avoid taking the racing line or crossing the track until back up to speed."
and also:
"A driver who is approaching a rejoining car should be prepared to alter their line or slow slightly to take account of the rejoiner."

Fabri had left room to the inside but was unsighted to the cars behind, and could not know in time to react that approaching traffic was 2 wide - conversely Mark could not be expected to avoid Fabri's car with such short notice when he already had a car to his inside and was himself at full throttle.

Considering the circumstances mentioned above for this incident, and the rules and penalty guidelines of SROU regarding rejoins, I feel that this particular incident is best judged as a racing incident.

Advice: If mirrors or the 'look back' function do not give a clear view of approaching cars, then drivers should take care to ensure there is as much room as possible to allow drivers who are on the track space to race and/or take avoiding action. On lap 1 or the early stages of a race more room might be required as battles are more likely to be occurring through the field.

I think the confusion is caused by the server message while sat on the grid.  It states tyre change OR 1 litre of fuel.

I agree  although I had just posted a reminder before going to grid.
I'll look into whether that message can be changed, but I think it might be hard coded...

As far as I can tell this is hard coded - I certainly can't see anything to allow me to alter it. Roll Eyes

On the plus side though everyone did a tire change, so unless any reports get filed I have an easy job this week!
Thanks everyone angel
