So I had done the original race report on Friday night. Had an essay about how amazing this F2 season was and how the last round went at Abu Dhabi last Thursday. All you need to know is HamJam ended up winning the F2 championship for the first time ahead of brother and teammate JamHam.
Unfortunately though this report will be different due to absolutely heart-breaking news that has shaken the SLR community and many others.
In the very early hours of Sunday morning our very beloved SLR McKeon passed away. SLR McKeon was a priceless asset not just to the Formula 2 Admin team and grid but to the whole SLR community. On the face you would see someone who was a no nonsense hard of sorts character. For people like myself who knew him well we knew someone who was so caring with the biggest of hearts always jumping to people to make sure they are ok if the person was down. He was always the guy who was always up for such a laugh which as we know in life is just what everyone needs.
In Formula 2 with 60 races, 1 win, 7 podiums and 247 career points these stats show that Callum was an absolute asset to our division having been racing here from day one. He claimed the 7th and last of his podiums in his very last race in which was the last Formula 2 race of the season last Thursday.
Callum was always gracious in defeat and was always as happy for the winner of a race or battle as the driver who did so. Having myself won a Championship battle against Callum which he lost out on he was the first person to jump into the DMs to congratulate me....says it all about the guy. Callum was an amazing racer and leader in the community but most of all was the best of the best as a person in general. Its people like Callum McKeon that puts the word great in Great Britain.
All our thoughts are with Chloe, his three kids and the rest of his family during these awful and tragic times. Callum will always remain in SLR as a legend and in all of our drivers hearts. We will continue to keep doing what he loves most which is racing. We will forever be putting on a show just for him which is exactly what he would want.
Callum. Fly high brother. You will forever be remembered and loved by all

SLR Semm Vs UKBeastAssassin - Overtaking under SC (Feature lap 13)
Outcome: No action taken
Reason: Semm was ahead of beast as the safety car came out. Unfortunately the game was telling Beast to overtake Semm during the SC period so there's not really much we can do for this incident.
UKBeastAssassin & SLR Semm - Both under investigation for dangerous driving (Feature Lap 13)
Outcome: No action taken
Reason: Both drivers involved were doing the same thing under the safety car. Under the circumstances both were fighting for the same position and fortunately there was no contact between the two drivers so we don't feel anything needs to be given.

sladncid - readying up early
Outcome: 5LP
OG James 96 - readying up early
Outcome: 5LP
OG James 96 - 5 second penalty removal (Sprint Race)
Outcome: Penalty removed
Reason: James was hit by Menz from behind just before the VSC so shouldn't of been given anything, but then receives a stupid 5 sec pen because of the VSC being deployed. So we've decided for this to be removed.
OG James 96 vs J Lee Menz - Spinning another car (Sprint Lap 2)
Outcome: 15 seconds + 3LP for Menz
Reason: Menz has wing damage while going wheel to wheel with James. James does still leave a substantial amount of room and Menz should of been more cautious and potentially slowed down to avoid an incident. However he doesn't and completely swipes James off the track.
PSR Freeman Vs Raceroller22 - spinning another car (sprint lap 4)
Outcome: 15 seconds + 3LP for Roller
Reason: Roller doesn't get the car slowed down enough and hits the back of Freeman sending him into a spin. He also hits Freeman giving him minor wing damage.
