Tokyo Round 8 Stewards report
Stewards: Memto89, cobra75, ItzRacing, Glenalz81
Race 1
Lap 1 - Octimuscrime - Evildragon – Racing Incident
Verdict: NFA
Optimus tires to take the racing Apex of the corner while evil dragon is on his inside. If he knew he was there or not, positioning his car on the left hand side of the track and then trying to get the Apex of the corner on the first lap with all the field there is never going to work. All other cars manage to either go wide or take the apex depending on what side of the track they are on.
Lap 1 - Killing heidi - Cobra75 – Unsafe Rejoin
Verdict: 30 Second Penalty (Killing-Heidi)
While Killing-Heidi loses it all on his own and cobra was completely blinded by the smoke, it could be argued that heidi needed to wait until the field had passed before moving, especially through a blind high speed corner
Lap 4 - Evildragon - Santu – Avoidable Contact
Verdict: Warning (Evildragon)
While evil is a lot faster through the corner it is still his job to account for the car in front. After coming round the corner evil hits the back of santu which was completely unnecessary. On the other hand santu is breaking in a completely flat out corner, so both to blame for a silly incident.
Lap 4 – Santu – Evildragon – Avoidable Contact
Verdict: 90 Second Penalty (Santu)
Following the previous incident, Santu would’ve been aware of Evlidragon’s presence. Santu however chooses to move across and make contact with Evildragon, forcing him into the wall. On a street circuit, extra care should be taken.
Lap 5 - Memto89 - Itzracing – Racing Incident
Verdict: NFA
Memto gets a run on Itz and they both head into the fast chicane. Memto forces the issue and Itz tries to take the Apex, both cars bounce off each other and Itz gets damage from hitting the wall.
Lap 11 - Itzracing - Evildragon - Racing incident
Verdict: NFA
It is clear that evil has damage which is compromising his driving and on a street circuit it is very hard to keep it out of the way of other cars. There is no malicious intent and evil was not fully in control of his car.
Lap 12 - Itzracing - Glenalz - Avoidable Contact
Verdict: 90 Second Penalty (ItzRacing)
While the 2 cars are coming into turn one hot, itzracing is on the inside and both brake at the same time, but just after the apex which glen is clearly on the outside itzracing rolls off the brakes and rolls onto the curbs not giving the racing room glen still needs as he is still along side.
Lap 20 - Killing heidi - Cobra75 - NFA
Verdict: NFA
The race was finished at this point
Race 2
Lap 1 - Octimuscrime - Play117 - Racing incident
Verdict: NFA
While the field is coming into turn 1 on the first lap, Play tries to make a move on lynxy and then backs out of it. Octimus follows lynxy and makes contact with play, no damage was caused to either car but it is a very low percentage move that could have resulted in much worse outcome.
Lap 2 - Cobra75 - Itzlynxy - Racing incident
Verdict: NFA
Lynx goes wide and into the wall, cobra follows him and has no time to react. Lag may have also played a part.
Lap 2 - Octimuscrime - Evildragon - Blocking
Verdict: 10 Second Penalty (Octimuscrime)
Optimus moves completely over on evil, squeezing him into the wall. The move was in reaction to evils move and was not a defensive move.
Lap 2 - Octimuscrime - Evildragon - Avoidable contact / Driving standards (DQ)
Verdict: Octimus - DQ, evil - DQ
After the blocking evil stays to the left and octimus moves to the right to cover the apex, evil gets the good line into the corner while octopus gets the compromised line. Evil tries to performs the undercut and makes contact with octimus tipping him into a slide. Octimus then reacts to the contact by swerving and ramming evil dragon. With that, there is strong evidence that Evildragon used the handbrake to force the spin and crash damage. The actions from both drivers was unsportsmanlike. No driver should retaliate to a previous incident and should instead allow the CORE Stewards to deal with any incidents. Drivers also should never use the handbrake to ‘take a dive’ and try to implement a penalty on another driver. This act was very dangerous and nearly took out an innocent driver who had no involvement in the incident.
Lap 2 - Glenalz - Santu - Racing incident
Verdict: NFA
Both cars are along side each other, santu tries to take the Apex and glen is there.
Lap 4 - Itzracing - Glenalz - Avoidable contact
Verdict: 90 Second Penalty (ItzRacing)
This is a case of forcing the issue when not even alongside, it’s a short braking zone over a crest so the cars will always be unstable there, glen is clearly covering the line and Itz forces up the inside, understeering past the Apex after braking very late and hitting glen into the wall.

Verdict: 30 secs

Verdict: 30 secs
Lap 12 - Santu929 - Pit in line
