Moderator's Report
A UKGPL favourite as it provides great races almost without fail. As it's such a long lap the more inventive drivers like Ryeman decided to try and find a woodland path to cut out the entire back section.
Unfortunately the eagle eyed Marshals saw him and disqualified him.
The Marshals also had a sweep stake on which lap John and Jethro would collide.
I believe Msr Bellafonte was the winner with lap 1.
Server replay time: 0h04m20s
John and Jethro collide (I know) at La Source and both are forced into retirement.
John passes Jethro cleanly into Blanchimont and Jethro tries to return the favour at La Source.
John covers the inside line fearing a banzai braking move up the inside but Jethro goes for the pass on the outside.
John loses sight of Jethro through the hairpin and sticks to the racing line but as he moves over on the exit he hits Jethro who is still attempting the pass.
Jethro achieves some overlap and is almost level at turn in but John's inside line and better control at the apex mean he pulls ahead again. Jethro keeps his foot in on and after the exit as John accelerates along the straight and the two collide.
While Jethro does achieve overlap, once again his decision making is called into question. A pass on the outside at La Source in a long Pro race is not advisable. Jethro has shown in previous races that he can catch John and at Spa would surely be presented with many opportunities to pass him if he was only patient enough.
Jethro's replay does show John at the exit but he does not react in time when perhaps he should have lifted. John's replay does not show Jethro at the exit.
Despite all the previous incidents between these two drivers I have put this down to a racing incident.
Jethro achieves overlap but must make better decisions as again this was an avoidable accident and it is up to the following driver to make a safe pass.
