Stream perspective:
https://clips.twitch.tv/AbstemiousSullenCheddarHassaanChop

Description by NBTATO: I drove towards the banked and final corner, with the knowledge that a prototype is coming up behind me, thanks to Colt in the red Mercury, who told me. Seeing the car come closer in the rear view mirror I decided to go for the higher mid track line to let Corey CC97 pass on the inside. As Corey is side by side with me, I noticed for a splitsecond that he was very close to my side and suddenly my car gets picked up from the right and lifts up in the air, flying into the catch fence, doing 1 to 2 rolls, leaving me with full damage.

Stewards decision: No action due to two factors. 1: possible lag incident, 2: NBTATO can clearly be seen in his own perspective drifting back down from the wall to the middle of the track.

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

Description by OTR Anonyms: As the translator for OTR (OTR Anonyms), here is a translation of OTR Furax' description of the incident:
""Coming to the turn 8 braking zone, I kept my line as I started braking. I was expecting Supra to stay behind or dive to the inside, but I was surprised to feel the impact of his car on my rear bumper. This caused my car to go off track, and to get terminal damage from the impact in the process, forcing me to pit after I came back on track""

Stewards decision: JIM Supra will receive a -10K penalty for causing avoidable contact resulting in terminal damage to ORT Furax. It is noted that this was clearly not intentional, but it was a significant hit.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1029
Drivers Involved: EXR Koarsse
Series: Indy 8 Hour
Round: A3
Race: A3
Lobby: A
Lap: 35 minutes

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

Description by DDM Driv3 : Coming through the final corner, I was taking the usual line from apex to wall and Koarsse thinks he can squeeze himself around the outside as the gap is closing. Due to the closing speed difference I had no chance of reacting to the prox arrow and he really should have gone past my inside as there was a huge amount of room there anyway.

The huge contact caused massive damage and spun me out on the front straight meaning I had to drive a whole lap back round to the pits to fix it.

As a side note I believe he hit another Audi later on the same lap and caused that car to have heavy damage too but I cannot confirm as I did not see that crash, only that an OTR Audi was very damaged, Koarsse too and the tyre wall on the back straight was hit too.

Stewards decision: EXR Koarsse will be assessed a -5K penalty for causing avoidable contact.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1019
Drivers Involved: TMS Brandy & GGA Frodo
Series: Indy 8hr Classic
Round: Indy
Race: 64
Lobby: B
Lap: Unknown

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

Description by TMS Brandy : As you can see from the clip I give space to the Protos on the inside to take the banking on the last corner. Keep my turning very consistent a prototype goes down my inside (which I expected). However, as you can see from the clip I am leading my stint by 3/4 seconds, I gave space but they decided to for some reason slightly turn out of the corner and hit the side of my car, this resulted in my doing a full lap with 100% damage ruining my whole stint.

Stewards decision: GGA Frodo will be assessed a -10K penalty for avoidable contact which resulted in terminal damage to TMS Brandy

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1022
Drivers Involved: FTC Crow and Lukey 1210
Series: TORA 8hrs of Indianapolis
Round: Stint 3
Race: Stint 3
Lobby: Lobby C

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

Description by FTC Crow: Was going for a move on the outside through the final banking. Plenty of space to make the move but Lukey turns into me sending me into the barrier and causing me to sustain heavy damage.

Stewards decision: No action. In the stewards view, Lukey did not make any move which would have hindered FTC Crows progress, Crow appears to have overcorrected in reaction to a perceived move.
