Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 180
Drivers Involved: LemartesOFBaal, ShortTrackFoz93
Series: Sport Tire Challenge series
Round: Round 1
Race: Race 1
Lobby: B
Lap: 3

Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fhj9M4F40

Description by RW26 BLAZE: ShortTrackFox93 was going down the inside trying to follow RW26 BLAZE. Doesn't seem to see that LemartesOFBaal was turning in so he got moved off the track at turn 5 and both end up causing a collision.

Please give your response to this incident:

Stewards Decision:
LemartesOfBaal: Warning. The sudden pivot caused the early phase of the incident.
ShortTrackFox93: -2 Position Penalty. Fox when pushed to the inside tries to force his way back out, making the situation much worse. Such actions aren't recommended as they do warrant sanctions.

Lap: Whole race

Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeQHkdorYk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgZglhQbr6Y

Description by Flyin Mikey J: This player was severely outclassed in the race such that they were a hazard to others, and also interfered in chat a lot.

Please give your response to this incident:

Staff + Stewards Decision: SITE BAN.

First impressions weren't even that bad, we just witnessed a severe skill discrepancy, seemingly not aided by the driver choosing full sim settings and all assists off. This is not grounds for a ban at all, and we would have just held him back until we were satisfied that he wouldn't be a hazard on track.

However, the second clip shows a lot more malice and negligence such as obscene track limit violations and egregiously driving into others and other childish behaviour. Combined with an illegal livery containing expired memes, we lean towards this being a negligent and malicious player that is better off not here. It is not worth the risk of detriment to the current field; we will not entertain this any longer.

Drivers Involved: Jack Coffey
Series: STCS EU
Round: Round 7
Race: Race 2
Lobby: A
Lap: lap 2 (first race lap)

Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkpb756yDeQ

Description by RW26 BLAZE: I was suppose to run in race 2 but due to technical problems in the actual race lobby, I pulled out and decided to watch the race to make sure its all ok. After a first lap incident in the S's before the Nissan bridge, the race went into Safety Car (and I did check the causes of it and they were racing incidents). Anyway, coming to the end of the lap I was riding onboard a car right near the back of the field when I spotted a car heading to pitlane late, came out, then change his mind again and enter the pitlane crossing the line clearly and easily. When I went to check it on the replay, it was a White BMW Driven by Jack Coffey who broke the pitlane entry rules. He later when on to win the race (and run out of fuel at the same time).

Please give your response to this incident

Stewards Decision: Jack Coffey: Warning.

This took longer than anticipated because we wanted to clarify the details before coming to a decision. On face value, Jack was looking at a standard penalty as he did breach the strict pit lane limits, however numerous accounts told us that there was significant disruptive chatter in the lobby which hindered the host from clarifying procedures and instructions. This is shown as Jack looks to change his mind several times.

Hence, a warning is fair due to the circumstances. Drivers are reminded to not disrupt voice chat which might stop important information from being relayed.
