Moderator's Report
There was some corner cutting in this race. I would like to point out GTR2 is not sensitive at detecting corner cutting, but UKGTR cutting rules applied to this race, so they should be followed. Therefore I unfortunately will have to exclude some drivers and penalise others.
These 'incidents' represent the single hardest set of decisions we as moderators have ever had to make. As chief moderator I am personally very disappointed that so many drivers chose to ignore the cutting rules, which were only introduced as the result of requests from existing drivers.

PRibeiro is trying to go around Enzo into the first part of the Rettifilo. Enzo cuts the first part trying to defend but is unsuccessful and PR has the place as they brake for della Roggia.
PR then cuts the second part of the chicane.
I'm writing these up as cautions because any gain made would have offset against the other driver's cut.
- Enzo (enzo) — caution — accidental corner cut
For advice only - unreported by victim, so penalty disregarded

James cuts through the grass at the lefthander out of Variante Ascari. By doing this he can carry more speed out of the corner making a pass on Paul Richards fairly easily. James didn't give the position back.
Normally this would have been worth a 2 place penalty. It will be reduced to a caution because of his exclusion.

Paul968 is following Enzo through Ascari, and takes advantage of the latter's mistake on the exit to get alongside into Parabolica.
They travel down the main straight side by side, Paul getting about 65% ahead and on the left by the time they reach the turn in point for the Rettifilo. Enzo cuts the first part of the chicane, with both left side tyres on the green concrete, which allows him to get back fully alongside Paul. who is thus compromised on the exit.
Enzo then wins the drag race to the della Roggia and regains the place.
- Enzo (enzo) — penalty — gaining advantage through corner cutting — 2 places lost

Leuven gets a decent exit out of Ascari and draws almost level with PaulW, but as they continue towards Parabolica, PaulW's superior top speed moves him just clear of Leuven's nose.
At the 200 metre board, Paul, who is in the middle of the road with Leuven on the right, moves fairly sharply back to the left, right in front of Leuven, who has to duck quickly right to avoid running into the back of him under braking - there are less than two seconds between Paul's move and the braking point.
Having forced him to swerve back over the right, Paul then tries to squeeze Leuven, who is about half way alongside at the turn in point, out of a move, and instead finds himself knocked sideways and off the track.
Essentially it's a racing incident, but moving over right in front of another driver just moments before a braking zone is not a smart idea. If you don't think you can make the corner from an inside line, you have to brake earlier. Sometimes that means giving up the corner.
- PaulW — advice — don't move over in front of something right before a braking zone
