Moderator's Report
The Novices always look forward to Silverstone, and Billy was so excited that he started before everybody else.
Unfortunately he was spotted and reprimanded.
Skymole also thought about going early when Billy moved ahead of him but his quick apology to the stewards saw him excused.
Not many reports from this race but don't let that fool you.
There are more than a few penalties.
Server replay time: 0h00m30s
Billy loses control in T1, hits the inside wall and bounces across track where he is hit by Skymole.

Fran Rear Ends DU Fossa into Becketts on Lap1.
He claims Warp is involved but I have no client replay to check.
The server shows contact but a quite violent reaction from Du Fossa's car so there may be some warp element involved.
However, given that this was Lap 1 of the race when warp tends to be at its highest, Fran was taking a risk by getting so close to Du Fossa entering Becketts.
I have taken the warp effect into account but Fran could have avoided the incident by driving more carefully.

Martin makes the catch of the race when he passes Fabio round the outside at Stowe.
Server replay time: 0h04m33s
Martin hits Norbert entering Becketts.
Martin claims that Norbert braked early enough to allow him a pass but he had no overlap and left his move very late.
Norbert was already heading for the apex and was in the middle of the track so any gap was fast closing.
Martin hit the inside kerb and lost control before hitting Norbert.
Server replay time: 0h04m42s
Norbert spins at Becketts and drives across the track in front of an approaching BadBlood who hits him.
Norbert had a clear view of approaching traffic but made no allowance for it.
Server replay time: 0h07m00s
Martin and Fabio contest Abbey.
Fabio is on the inside and the two are bot making a valid attempt to win the corner.
Martin suffers a warp contact and is thrown from the track.
Warp Incident
Server replay time: 0h14m25s

Blito takes avoiding action and hits the fence.

Not an incident as such but Karliss asked me to look at it and give my opinion.
Karliss was following Skymole into Copse and had to brake hard to avoid a collision, making himself spin in the process.
Skymole continues apparently unaffected but discos along the next straight.
Is this disco caused by Karliss?
I do not think that the two incidents are related and I do not think it is Karliss' fault that Skymole had a Disco shortly after their near miss.
It is a slight possibility of course that Skymole's client saw some extra data traffic but his Disco would then have probably happened immediately rather than so long afterwards.
I do not think that Karliss could have done anything to prevent Skymole's Disco.
Sometimes accidents do happen.
