Lap 13 - Nouveau Monde
Ken had been chasing Steven for over 3 laps but despite being consistently quicker on the approach to Nouveau Monde he was finding it difficult to get past. Steven braked slightly earlier than usual for Nouveau Monde on lap 13 (highlighted by his speed at a particular point in the braking zone - 40mph on lap 13 compared to 50mph on lap 12, 50 mph on lap 11 and 47 mph on lap 10). This caught Ken out and he gave Steven's Cooper a very slight nudge which pushed Steven into the tyres. Fortunately no damage was done and both cars continued.
Ken didn't make a rash challenge and had followed Steven into Nouveau Monde on the three previous laps which gave Ken the chance to learn where Steven was braking. The early braking on lap 13 caught Ken out nevertheless it is the following driver's responsibility to avoid rear end shunts.

Lap 25 - Start and Finish Straight
Clive is very low on fuel and his car is missing badly. Neil is catching him hand-over-fist and is much faster through Paradis. So much faster in fact that he rear ends Clive who is by now practically dawdling along the straight on the racing line.
It would be very unfair to blame Neil for this incident as Clive was much slower than usual. There is no specific rule for this type of incident but it is covered in the GPLAC Recommended Driver Behaviour. The advice is to "get out of the way ASAP if your car is non-functional". In this case Clive should have moved off the racing line.
