Ok, here comes a wall of text regarding the Monza race.
First of all, I was reviewing the start in detail.
The start was really well done by all. I do however have a say about 2 drivers that was lucky to not get a penalty for breach of false start.
Lynchy098 and toyotsupra was rolling towards the start with the front bumper overlapping the rear bumper of the car in front to the side by quita a bit. But by the time you reached the strat/finishline, you were just clear from the car aheads rear bumper. A close call. Make sure to keep your distance during the moments prior start.
NOTE regarding formation lap: There is no need at all to stay up the driver in fronts arse during formation. It will only increase the risk of unneccesary damage if your unlucky.
Ok, so on to the race then.
I'll list all incidents reported regarding the GT500 race.
NOTE: It's not always the other part in the incident that reported the incident, it could be detected by a steward while watching the replay. We are supposed to send out PM's to each driver involved. But this time, I'll take them in public. Feel free to PM me or Wardez if your part of an incident and have a say.
Reason why I post this in public is part because A LOT of the drivers are involved in at least one incident. But mostly to highlite how bad this race was.
We need to be more careful around eachother. And at a track like this, I just can't see why some drivers almost everytime must squeeze them selves up another drivers inside, just to be overtaken again while getting drafted.. It's a demonstration of poor racecraft.
WSGTC will not go easy, ruleas are supposed to be raced by at all times. I hope this is the last time we see a race like this.
Here we go:
When I type "lap 2", it's the first race lap. I count the formationlap as well. Much easier to just look at the top left of the screen.
I will keep it short. And no penalties will be listed since all drivers have to have a say about an incident he was part of. So I'll just list the incidents, and at what lap and time. I got the details, but wnt share them here.

I've been reviewing the replay several times. And time here in Stockholm now is 7.00 AM. You guys do the math.
Please spear me from nights like this in the future.
RESPECT eachother on track.
To all:
If a race like this happens ONCE again, we will start relegate drivers. Period.
Everybody needs to go to themselves and think it thru. If you're given penalties on a regular basis, perhaps you should look at yourself, and if you might have a different view of what is clean/ok driving and what is not.
It's not up to you what is clean and what is not. It's up to WSGTC to decide.
We know that it can be tough comming here with all regulations and strict penalties, and we have understanding for the complications it can bring. It may take you 2-3 rounds to get a grip of what's ok, and what's not.
This is round 5 guys!! It's time to get the hang of it by know, be sure of it!
