Description by SorrySmithy: Jumped start by about 0.5s gaining 3 places before T1

Please give your response to this incident

Stewards Decision:

Boost Syndicate: -8 Position Penalty.

The stewards were unimpressed by the driving shown. Boost Syndicate does jump start and does profit from it in the focal point of the SI. Also other incidents were taken into account by recommendation of Staff. The stewards deemed more action was necessary as a result of some of the other incidents provided but other clips were disregarded.

The stewards also recommend to be prudent with conduct in the race especially with the use of sim steering. Any further incidents are likely to warrant strong action.

Evidence: Shared Replay Named HHC Silver 3

Description by InsanityCursed: After a collision with LazyDandy & Kyleinator both were on the inside of the track and when they rejoined it was at a much slower speed and at the apex of the next corner. It caused xE1ite PandaPool to hit LazyDandy and some others such as myself to have to slow down to avoid it from being worse.

Please give your response to this incident:

Stewards Decision:

LazyDandy: Warning
xE1ite PandaPool: -2 Position Penalty

The stewards felt that Dandy should be careful upon rejoining, however also felt that Panda caused an avoidable incident and a minor penalty was agreed.

Please give your response to this incident:

After the stewards digested the evidence, they agreed that Pacman caused the incident between Pacman and Max Leclerc. A -3 was agreed.

Incident/s you are involved in are under investigation by the stewards;

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 357
Drivers Involved: CBR PacMan66 and most of the field
Series: Hot Hatch Challenge
Round: Round 5 / Road Atlanta Club
Race: Race 3 of 3
Lobby: B
Lap: ~6

Evidence: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AiMDS2b6KjwNiCMm7Emy3L81X4qw

Description by Chief Tokembowl: This is a long clip. You guys are going to want to watch from the 3:12 mark on, to avoid watching a bunch of rewinding and whatnot. PacMan gets punted off by a car that doesn't appear in the replay. He crashes into the wall and gets torn up. After that, PacMan intentionally drives his broken car on the racing line, on the fastest corner on the track, causing myself and two other drivers to slide of track trying to avoid him, as well as causing multiple near-misses. I understand he was mad, but come on, man.

Please give your response to this incident:

Stewards Decision:

CBR Pacman66: Race DQ

The stewards found Pacman's driving abhorrent, more so considering Pacman also caused another incident in the prior round. They agreed that driving a severely wrecked car in the middle of the road is careless and dangerous, leading to further incidents.

Any further incidents are likely to garner strong repercussions.

Incident/s you are involved in are under investigation by the stewards;

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 356
Drivers Involved: HCR Dandy
Series: Hot Hatch
Round: Road Atlanta
Race: 3
Lobby: A
Lap: First racing lap.

Evidence: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/insanitycursed/video/49222576

Description by Insanitycursed: I was getting in line for the tight turn 3 when I was hit off the track by HCR Dandy. In my opinion he was not going to make the turn at the speed and angle he was taking after hitting the curb the way he did. These reverse grids have the fastest drivers bombing all over the place to start these races. (side note. if this is a no action I will want a conversation to the stewards in a party chat about these. I am in total disagreement about another SI)

Please give your response to this incident:

Stewards Decision:

HCR Dandy: -1 position penalty

The stewards accept it was a close call but agreed to apportion blame on Dandy albeit minor. A -1 was agreed. Unfortunately, we have no control over Forza's unique track limits contraptions.

Evidence: Replay saved by E1ite Pandapool

Description by E1ite Pandapool: Coming into the last s section of the track on lap 4 bigben0913 dove to my inside and hit me in the rear quarter panel causing me to lose pace and lose my position to him. Coming into that same section on lap 13 bigben0913 once again dove to my inside without calling out a pass and drove straight across the corner and track driving me out into the grass and subsequently the tire wall causing me to lose several positions.

Please give your response to this incident:

Stewards Decision

BIGBEN0913: -1 Position Penalty

The first clip did constitute as an illegal overtake, there was minor contact. A minor penalty was agreed. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do about Forza's unique track limits measures.
