2023 TORA Endurance Championship - Stewarding Results

SI-1503 | TEC | Round 2 | Lobby A | SFM Darkzer | AMS Trauma

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1503
Drivers Involved: AMS Trauma
Series: TEC
Round: 2
Race: Stint 1
Lobby: A
Lap: near end

Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34FyVWlXZ74

Description by SFM Darkzer: Trauma decided to become a lawnmower instead of waiting 1 second.



Stewards Decision: AMS Trauma will receive a written warning. He stated that he did not get his line correct and went in the grass to avoid a collision with Darkzer. The pass was not for position as they were in different classes and no time advantage was gained by being in the grass.

From the Head Steward: After reviewing the replays of both incidents, this one and the one involving Ferrari, I am amending the ruling here. AMS Traum will be assessed a 3.5k penalty for passing off track.

SI-1513 | TEC | Round 3 Watkins Glen | Lobby N/a | raygun vs zombi | Onedustyf150

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1513
Drivers Involved: Onedustyf150
Series: TEC
Round: 3 Watkins Glen
Race: Private qualifying
Lobby: N/a
Lap: Whole session

Evidence: Screenshot is in the marshal chat

Description by raygun vs zombi : When qualifying I didn't notice that dusty was in the wrong category until I checked my message requests an hour after the qualifying session when he asked me if the 10% handicap was the right one for the Nissan 300zx. Which looking back onto it the Nissan requires the 20% handicap. So he ran faster than the car intended to do but I assumed he knew the correct driver bucket.

Stewards Decision: Onedustyf150's qualifying time has been disqualified for using the wrong power handicap. It is up to the driver to know and have the correct build and power handicap when qualifying.

SI-1515 | TEC | Round 3 | Lobby 3 | SFM Darkzer | SSR LEGACY, SSR redEAGLE

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1515
Drivers Involved: SSR LEGACY, SSR redEAGLE
Series: TEC
Round: 3
Race: Q8
Lobby: 3
Lap: near end

Evidence: https://streamable.com/t06qya

Description by SFM Darkzer: SSR LEGACY and SSR redEAGLE both drove backwards on a live track. The lobby was set to 50 minutes, so the last lap could start no later than 5:00 on the clock. I explicitly said you cannot go backwards or do donuts on a live track.

Stewards Decision: Both drivers qualifying times have been disqualified. The rules are quite clear, park the car in turn one until the host declares the session over.

SI-1516 | TEC | Round 3 | Lobby Q2 | Staff SI | AMS Murks

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1516
Drivers Involved: AMS Murks
Series: TEC
Round: 3
Race: Qualifying
Lobby: Q2
Lap: N/A

Evidence: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1067156511966625904/1108837682395746345/image.png

Description by Staff SI: AMS Murks qualified in the Mazda, but is registered to the Audi.

Stewards Decision. AMS Murks was registered in the Mazda when he qualified. Afterwards, the team moved him to the AMS Astro entry as one of their drivers is unable to make the race. Since the rules state that both the top qualifying drivers must do at least one stint and Murks is replacing one of them, AMS Astro will be assessed a 10k penalty.

The following teams will be penalized 10k ft for failing to file stints on time:

Vanatix Racing
FcT E-Sport Proto
Vanatix eSports
NWR Furry Feta
NWR Chu Chu Chu

Team eMotorsport A was also due to be penalized, but did not race.

Description by onioin: actually just drives across the track



Stewards Decision: No further action. Looking ahead on the track in the clip provided, it's clear that Trauma loses control and never regains it before onion arrives.

SI-1549 | TEC 8hrs Watkins Glen | Round TEC Round 3 Watkins Glen | Lobby A | ESV Barcode | Myself, VNX Legacy

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1549
Drivers Involved: Myself, VNX Legacy
Series: TEC 8hrs Watkins Glen
Round: TEC Round 3 Watkins Glen
Race: Stint 1
Lobby: A
Lap: N/A

Evidence: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543126862788820995/1109847738352402562/20-05-2023_17-54-07-qt2qchab.mov

Description by ESV Barcode: With just under ten minutes race time remaining of Stint 1, as I am just coming up to the last corner, VNX Legacy (in the GR.X class) appears to misjudge going down my inside to lap me and hits my rear causing me to spin and hit the wall.  The resulting damage meant I had to do a full lap damaged before doing a 4th pit stop, the collision ultimately dropping me from P1 to P7 in the stint, costing me the stint win and losing significant mileage/places in both this stint and the overall race.

Stewards Decision: VNX Legacy will be assessed a 15k penalty for causing an avoidable collision, damage resulting.

SI-1546 | TEC | Round Stint 4 | Lobby B | SFM Benedict | DDM Assassin

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1546
Drivers Involved: DDM Assassin
Series: TEC
Round: Stint 4
Race: Watkins Glen
Lobby: B
Lap: Dunno

Evidence: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1826155294

Description by SFM Benedict: Was being approached to be lapped and went wide to allow for him to pass underneath but was hit from behind putting me on the grass costing no damage was cause other than distance

Stewards Decision: DDM Assassin will be assessed a 3.5k penalty for avoidable contact. The onus is always on the following driver to make a pass safely. Benedict made no radical moves and gave the line to Assassin on the inside yet got bumped anyway. Assassin may have been a bit caught out but could have exercised a little more patience given a straight was around the next corner.

SI-1545 | TEC | Round Watkins Glen | Lobby C | NWR Kurzion | ItsKimi7

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1545
Drivers Involved: ItsKimi7
Series: TEC
Round: Watkins Glen
Race: Stint 4
Lobby: C
Lap: WHY IS THIS HERE.

Evidence: https://youtu.be/0aODP04WfmE

Description by NWR Kurzion: ItsKimi7 dives into the pits from the left hand side of the final straight not sticking to pit lines.

Stewards Decision: No further action. Kimi hit the wall on corner exit and sustained heavy damage. Since he had a clear line to the pits he opted to enter rather than do an entire lap with the damage. In this instance his action is acceptable since he did not hinder anyone.

Drivers Involved: ItsKimi7
Series: TEC
Round: Watkins Glen
Race: Stint 4
Lobby: C
Lap: **shrugs**

Evidence: https://youtu.be/ydrfr1_z6ao

Description by NWR Kurzion: Battling for position with ItsKimi7, Kimi goes out wide and I presume accidentally extends outside of track limits, however dangerously rejoins the track colliding with my rear left unsettling our cars. Fortunately we both came out okay from this incident.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1538
Drivers Involved: Ax4x farcanal

Lobby: C
Lap: **shrug**

Evidence: https://youtu.be/c7BD31fBZdU

Description by NWR Kurzion: Ax4x farcanal was under blue flag conditions and was informed via voice chat by myself, however to give up the position to let me pass, he slowed down in front of me in the S bend.

I was already steering to get around the S's safely intending on passing on the straight, and the only way to have had the pass in this situation was to let off in the S's to which I may not have had the acceleration to have been able to pass.

Stewards Decision: No further action. The stewards failed to see any infraction here.

SI-1544 | TEC | Round Watkins Glen | Lobby C | NWR Kurzion | ItsKimi7

Drivers Involved: ItsKimi7
Series: TEC
Round: Watkins Glen
Race: Stint 4
Lobby: C
Lap: IDFK

Evidence: https://youtu.be/mp1ykrIXpWU

Description by NWR Kurzion: Whilst defending for position from ItsKimi7 I have intentions to go into the pits to do 1 of 3 of my mandatory pit stops. ItsKimi7 for whatever reason whilst I'm within the pit lines to enter the pits, moves from my outside (As shown by the driver markers) into my inside of the final corner, causing contact and knocking me partially off the pit lines.

Stewards Decision: No further action. The stewards could find no infraction here as it looked to be a miscommunication between the two drivers.

Steward Inquiry Reference Number: 1536
Drivers Involved: DMS Aspect

Lobby: C
Lap: **Insert Confused Emoji here**

Evidence: https://youtu.be/V5KpUFCeWEA

Description by NWR Kurzion: Sticking to my racing line second to last corner, DMS Aspect passed me outside of track limits gaining an advantage, where usually a proto car would slow down and pass within track limits.

https://clips.twitch.tv/LitigiousCalmStingrayCharlieBitMe--Glqz-Rc8SF_XBaR

Description by RZX JjRedz: I'm looking behind me and can see the proto potentially passing me in the S section. He hits the wall on exit as I do my best to leave the space I end up bouncing off of him. In my opinion I believe he should have waited to pass after the exit or just not hit the wall. It's already hard enough f stewards view or Cougars to go through that part of the track.

Stewards Decision: No further action. In the stewards view this incident is actually the fault of the GT car not holding his line.

Race: Stint 4
Lobby: C
Lap: jfc

Evidence: https://youtu.be/7svnUzXz8N4

Description by NWR Kurzion: ItsKimi7 being one of the faster drivers on the grid is making there way up the order. Sadly in this clip Kimi goes to be aggressive tapping NWR Lorry 6 sending him to a small slide, losing Lorry time & distance, also gaining Kimi the position.

Using this incident to my personal advantage, ItsKimi7 taps the rear of my car but causes no loss of time & distance. 2 avoidable collisions here in my opinion.

Stewards Decision: No further action. The stewards found no infraction occurred in this incident.
