Moderator's Report
This was another new track for UKGPL 65s and it appeared to be a success with some good driver comments and some good close racing.
A simple track to learn but the tricky braking points, sometimes in mid corner, can catch out the unwary.
NHance led most of the way but a poor end to the race saw him slip from the top of the podium giving Vosblod another win.

Fabio rear ends Nigel into the Hairpin.
Fabio appears to be considering an overtake but does not make a clean attempt and ends up hitting the back of Nigel.
It is always the responsibility of the following driver to avoid such a collision.

Norbert Stemmler leaves the track but keeps going forwards and manages to rejoin the track without spinning.
Unfortunately he moves across the track and hits D Rock who is lucky to recover and remain unaffected.

Ross Neilson rear ends Pete Maestro approaching the hairpin.
Pete hits both the 400 and 200 markers at the same speed as his previous lap when Ross was following him.
Ross just brakes too late and takes no avoiding action.
Pete takes a free SHIFT R
Server replay time: 0h19m25s
Following his SHIFT R after hitting Pete Maestro Ross spins on cold tyres going over the sand and ends up in the middle of the track.
He appears to panic a little as RogUK approaches and the 2 collide.
Though this could easily have incurred another penalty, I think the 2 place penalty for the original incident is sufficient and advice may be a better altenative.
Drivers should always take car when rejoining the track and be aware of what traffic is approaching at race speed.
If you do find yourself in the middle of the track it is always better to remain stationary until traffic has passed. It is very difficult to second guess a stationary car, and once the approaching driver commits to a line around it, it is very difficult to alter that line if the obstacle moves.
Perhaps in all the excitement Ross forgot to take his Stop n Go for the SHIFT R following his initial accident.

NHance is being overtaken by RogUK and turns into him before he is fully past. Both are contesting the corner but RogUK has the required overlap.
Although NHance touches RogUK I think that both would have made the corner had it not been for D Rock arriving far too quickly and hitting them both

DRock rear ends both nhance and roguk who are both involved in a battle.
NHance is being overtaken by RogUK and both are contesting the corner as D Rock arrives far too quickly. Although he does not lock his wheels it is debatable whether he is losing control or not. The passing move ahead had slowed both drivers a little, but it is always the responsibility of the following driver to avoid such a collision.
