seeing the throttle input from Fraga... if anyone tries that in Formula racing in the real world they're getting a black flag, through a corner that fast and dangerous it's just not on.

Five-second penalty for Fraga after that move at Raidillion.
Honestly, after watching it again a few times, I'm not impressed with that move. If Hizal hadn't braked like he did, that would've been catastrophic for both of them.

Easily the most dramatic final, although maybe not the best.
10 seconds against Cody is fair, but that could have (and should have) been a black flag. Miya easily had pace to contest for a win.
Absolutely brutal for Hizal. I'm not sure if he gave up but victory was right there with him catching Igor with plenty of laps to go and again with the penalty awarded post race.
I hope the drivers remember this, it should be an interesting remainder of events.

10 secs is harshest i have seen.
The 5 secs for Fraga would have been 1 sec if lightning was 1.1 behind..

The awkwardness on that podium...

Yep. That's one of the reasons why I understand Hizal's frustration.
The penalty to Igor should have been applied during the race. By letting the race finish and give a useless penalty, PD just showed how dumb the system is.
Happened the same last time to Cody in the Nations finals when he bumped Lopez. Got a penalty after the race finished, but didn't lose his place.

Yeah, and I think the classes are mostly fine, otherwise. Though I think there should be some classes for historic race cars. There ought to be at least two, one being for historic prototypes (e.g. Ferrari 330 P4) and another for historic GTs (e.g. Shelby Cobra Daytona), and maybe another for the 1950s racers, especially since more will likely be coming to the series via the Pebble Beach award.
I’d personally make a “Historic Gr.1” for prototypes like the Ford Mk.IV, a “Historic Gr.3” for full-on race cars like the D-Type, and a “Historic Gr.4” for cars that are lightly-modified road cars like the Cobra Daytona Coupe. Maybe even a “Historic Gr.B” for pre-Group B rally cars like the Lancia Stratos.

I don't think I've felt this bad during a podium ceremony for quite some time... and I've watched a lot of F1.

I think that might be too much confetti.

Yup. The stewards had to check what the gap was before deciding the penalty. If Hizal was 4 seconds back, the penalty would have been 3 seconds. If Hizal was right on him, there would have been a warning.
Lap 1, turn 1, Rubilar got run off track, going from 3rd to dead last. Not even an “Investigation”. Guess who he was run off by.

After such a good tactical move by Fraga backing off to then slingshot, I would've never expected him to essentially brake xhech in such a dirty way later on. After that Hizal definitely deserved the win, but at least he will get a chance for redemption at the world finals.

I didn't see the justification yet. But I doubt it's for something that happened on T1 of lap 1.

Had Hizal finished 3.4s behind Fraga I reckon the penalty would have been 3s. I feel the stewards had to be seen to react but didn't really want to change the result. Had Mick hit Igor it would likely have been better for him as Fraga's poor behaviour would have been highlighted and presumably dealt with more severely.

Are we really gonna pretend that Hizal always drove perfectly clean and never messed up someone else's race ?
The lift from Fraga was dirty and he was penalized. Hizal could have stayed just behind him and push until the end until an overtake occasion occur and win, but he gave up.
I'm disappointed because I didn't expect someone like Fraga to do this, but it is also disappointing to see Hizal giving up so easily. Brook got warned for giving up after getting punted 3 times when he was at the last position. And Hizal gives up after a little dirty move when he is second, 1s behind the leader ?
Come on...

Saw them investigating lesser incidents in previous races, also, no charge for Igor pushing Nico out of the track in first corner.
