GTCC US - Stewarding Results

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 833
Drivers Involved: Myself and T1R OZ
Series: GTCC US
Round: Round 2 at Suzuka
Race: Yes, incident occurred in Race 2
Lobby: B or 2nd lobby
Lap: last corner of lap 24

Evidence: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/orc-speedyjab/video/95732664

Description by ORC Speedyjab: I defended my line going narrow with my right tires on the line into the turn sequence, he hit me in the rear and forced me off my line and wide and passed to take the position.

Stewards Decision: -3 Championship Points Penalty to T1R OZ for causing avoidable contact to gain a position. Pretty standard push to pass, can't do that.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 837
Drivers Involved: SQD Diesel T1R Oz
Series: GTCC US
Round: 2
Race: 2
Lobby: B
Lap: 13

Evidence: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/sqd-diesel/video/95610191

Description by SQD Diesel : Oz drives into the back of DJProfessorK in T1. This opens up the inside line. I move to take the position at which point Oz tries to close the door. As I am alongside already this causes him to bounce back off the side of the track. Going into T2 Oz takes a line that carries him into the back of my car causing me to slide off at the entrance of T3. Upon trying to gather the car I slide across track and collect Oz. This costs both of its roughly 4 positions. After returning to the racing surface Oz again drives into the back of my car with what appears to be the intention of spinning me. I save the car only to be side bumped again at which point I lift to avoid going off track and Oz overtakes me.

Stewards Decision: -5 Championship Points Penalty to T1R OZ for multiple incidents of causing avoidable contact. This is just sloppy driving and needs to be curbed immediately. To enforce this, T1R OZ will be placed on probation until the end of the series, whereas any future penalty he receives will be automatically escalated to the next higher level penalty, so a -3 becomes a -5, a -5 becomes a -10, etc.

Lastly, T1R OZ and SQD Diesel are issued a written warning for their conduct in party chat mid-race. We are racing for fun, and that sort of name-calling and arguing is not acceptable. Further issues will result in penalties.

Description by GTR LuckyVII : Lsem Julian disregarding track limits

Stewards Decision: The combination of track limit violations (11 in the above 8 clips - 5 in T1, 1 in T7 Mercedes Kurve, 4 in T9 on to the back straight going to the Arena section, and 1 in the final double-right) has been deemed repetitive enough to result in a Race Disqualification, which will apply to Race 1. The track limits are called "limits" for a reason.

Series: GTCC
Round: 3
Race: 2
Lobby: A
Lap: 1st

Evidence: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/gtr-luckyvii/video/96653714

Stewards Decision: No Action - Complaint was not filed by the affected parties. Furthermore, the drama associated with Diesel and Lucky has been discussed privately and have been issued warnings that any continuation of this tit for tat that originated outside of TORA will result in both drivers being removed from the series until they can settle their differences.

Drivers Involved: SQD GGRacing GTR Julian

Race: Think second race

Lap: 4

Description by SQD Ruthless: Gg was deliberately taken out going into the last turn by Julian and then his reaction after shows he didn't give a crap about it.

Stewards Decision: -3 Championship Points penalty applied to GTR Julian for causing avoidable contact to make a pass. The Stewarding team disagrees with the claim that this incident was "deliberate". There is some context as to something similar happening at last week's race but that's as far as it goes.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 881
Drivers Involved: SFM Darkzer
Series: GTCC
Round: Round 4 / Laguna Seca
Race: Race 1 & 2
Lobby: A
Lap: Race 1: Lap 8 / Race 2: Lap 4

Evidence: Race 1: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/amr-aqua/video/97252144

Race 2: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/amr-aqua/video/97252067

Description by AMR Aqua: SFM Darkzer dive bombed me into the corkscrew in race 1 and then complained in the lobby party about me not giving him room as I joined back onto the track after just sending my car spinning into the sand trap. During race 2, I gave plenty of room on the inside while being the lead car going two wide through a corner running onto the curbing on exit. After swiping into my quarter panel and spinning me out for the second time, SFM Darkzer once again complained saying I ""turned into him"".

Stewards Decision: Written Warning to Darkzer for the incident in Clip 1. This avoided a points penalty due to the fact that no physical positions were lost and Darkzer waited for Aqua to regain his position in front of him. Clip 2 warrants a -3 Championship Points Penalty for causing avoidable contact, resulting in a crash.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 888
Drivers Involved: eme 711
Series: GTCC
Round: 5
Race: 2 Restart
Lobby: B
Lap: 6 of Race 2 restart

Evidence: https://clips.twitch.tv/GoodDifficultWitchAliens

Description by SFM Cowmaster: eme 711 blocked multiple times, first in T1 I very clearly showed my intent to take the inside line and after I committed to my braking point he moves violently into my path causing contact in 1. Going into turn four I again clearly showed I was going to take the inside line and he again moved after I committed to my braking point to block me causing more contact. He then attempts to block me again but I am too far alongside and then in the final corner he runs me out the edge of the track to force the pass on me.

Stewards Decision: Eme 711 will have a -5 Championship Points Penalty applied, combined for blocking and for causing avoidable contact. The T1 incident is negligible though a bit crude, the T4 incident was a block. You're allowed one defensive move into a corner, but you cannot be moving your line under braking - you're going to cause problems. The final turn move was just a lack of skill which cost Cowmaster a considerable amount of time.

Round: 5
Race: 2
Lobby: C
Lap: 3

Evidence: https://youtu.be/zaiy7cQhvUI

Description by SFM Ace: Unsafe pit exit from GTR inFamous. Fairly self-explanatory.

Stewards Decision: -3 Championship Points Penalty to GTR InFamous for an illegal pit exit procedure. Not much to say here. There are really wide, bright lines that clearly show you where to go. Follow them.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 890
Drivers Involved: LMPRanger, eme 711
Series: GTCC US
Round: R5 Mugello
Race: Race 2, part 2
Lobby: B Lobby
Lap: Lap 4 (technically 26)

Evidence: Gameclip is available. https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/lmp-ranger/video/97931315

Description by LMP Ranger: Eme 711 came back on track after going off. We were side by side. He turns in like I'm not there. Then he continues to turn left into my car to set up for the next turn, a right hander.
This hooked us together causing my car to go into the gravel trap. Eme 711 was able to continue.
I fell from 6th position to 12th position.

Stewards Decision: -3 Championship Points Penalty to Eme for running LMP Ranger off the track. Have better racecraft. You have to leave space for a car that is beside you and not make contact to pass.
