Rob Clenshaw runs wide at the last turn. As he rejoins from the gravel he gets on the power too hard and the back end steps out, collecting Don just as he is passing.
Given the nature of the GTR2 sticky gravel traps I can't fault Rob's intention to escape the gravel there or the angle at which he rejoins. He might have taken more care however to back off the throttle somewhat after leaving the gravel, although this is not easy. Don should perhaps have also used a bit caution and left more of a gap when passing Rob, although Don had run a bit wide into the corner. As a result I feel a caution for Rob is all that is needed.

Keysersoze is approaching the final corner, with Demonic Dan behind and about to lap him. Demonic Dan is not close enough to pass before the corner, and makes a small mistake, running wide and losing momentum. Keysersoze is left perhaps 10 car lengths ahead, and decides to carry on rather than lift to let Dan past. Dan then spins at T1.
Dan felt that Keysersoze should have let him past on the straight, in fact he wanted him to do it before the last corner. The trouble was, he wasn't anywhere near close enough to expect the other car to lift in either situation. You need to be within a few cars lengths at most, or else you make it too difficult for the other car to maintain reasonable speed - they have races to run too remember. Keysersoze didn't hold Dan up at all, and is blameless in this.

Keysersoze runs very wide at T2 and as he gets up to speed Dyno Daz comes round the corner to lap him. KS doesn't let him past here, and in fact it is not until T7 when KS runs wide again that DD gets past.
Given how close T3 was when DD appeared behind KS, I don't think it was reasonable to expect KS to lift there. He didn't actually leave the track fully and T3 is a tough corner to let someone past on the inside. I do think though that KS could have eased off a touch after this to let DD past, perhaps on the run to T6 or at least on the exit there. On the request of DD though, and considering his relative inexperience in the league I will just apply a warning to KS to make more of an effort to let lapping cars by.

Dyno Daz has just lapped Keysersoze. At the next corner, Keysersoze totally misses his braking point and rear-ends Dan. No excuse really.
- Damac (keysersoze) — penalty — Avoidable rear end shunt — 2 places lost
For advice only - unreported by victim, so penalty disregarded
