Kicking off the report with Elite, HamJam2002 added yet another win to his season after setting a pole lap of a 1:18.020 and controlling the race early on. It wasn’t a slam dunk victory for Ham however, as a Safety Car meant that FRA Freeman9, who qualified down in 6th, got a great restart and was able to make the pass for the lead. A great battle between Ham and Freeman until the end of the race followed, with Freeman winning on track and earning himself driver of the day, however Ham took the win after penalties. Xx JamHam xX rounded out our podium finishers after invalidating his final Q3 lap, leaving him behind Freeman in 7th. It wasn’t a race that I’m sure Ryan Jones123 had hoped for after winning around here last season and qualifying on the front row Sunday, with the Alpha Tauri driver seeming to lack some pace compared to others around in the early stages of the race and ultimately left him in 4th. Raceroller22 recovered from 12th place in what was a very tight qualifying session to finish in a solid 5th position, battling his way through the field and not getting into any trouble. Gho3t COLT finished in 6th after deciding to stay out during the SC as he was on the opposite strategy, and a late charge though the pack allowed him to gain the ground he needed.
The Mclaren of Snypz SB added more points to his season total with a 7th place finish in a very tight midfield, with Jito DV dropping to 8th from 6th due to him being handed a penalty after an incident with SLR Darnell. MeRkz47 pulled off another brilliant recovery drive, going from 19th after crashing in Q1 to 9th while taking advantage of others errors and mishaps. Rounding out the points finishers was bezzas1, who after qualifying 4th dropped back through the field and came home with a point. Heading outside of our top 10, UKBeastAssassin finished 11th after staying out during the SC, replicating what his teammate did. The Mercedes of SLR Niki came home in 12th, with Para Quickz and SLR Smoke68 behind in 13th and 14th respectively. It wasn’t the race ZyDRAD was hoping for after also staying out during the Safety Car and was unfortunately switched onto the wrong tyre compound, and finished down in 15th. Rounding out our finishers were V2 x Combat after receiving multiple penalties in the stewards room and Hoopolicious who had a late incident with Snypz SB and forcing him to pit twice more. Finally, our non-finishers of the Italian Grand Prix in Elite were: BDunk, SLR Darnell, and Crispy2001.
A reminder to all drivers: please make sure you have read and understood the new rules posted in the discord server (follow the instructions in announcements) and on the website. We hope to see you Sunday under the lights in Singapore!

Pepsi - Quali Infringment
Outcome - 10 Seconds + 2LP
Reason - cutting corners on an out-lap to gain an advantage
Owen vs Zach
Outcome - No Action Taken
Reason - A large lag spike is the main cause for this incident. Unfortunate for Owen but it would be wrong for Zach to be penalised.
R Leah - Safety Car Restart

Reason - the restart was completely fine. The collision was minor but not Leah’s fault
R Leah vs Illegal overtake on Spawn
Outcome - Game Glitch
Reason - this type of time penalty can not be taken off total race time

In division 3 it was a very clean start from all 20 drivers as everyone managed to navigate the first chicane without any major problems. At the end of lap one it was as you were at the front of the race as Craigfk (Alpha Tauri) lead the way with SLR B33n (Redbull) in 2nd and SLR Hyperz (Racing Point) in 3rd. At the end of lap 3 it was Scott85laney (Renault) that took a spin at Ascari but avoided any damage to continue his race back in 18th. The start of lap 5 saw Crafti3stJ3st3r (Williams) use the DRS to his advantage on the start straight to overtake SLR Gareth (Redbull) into 4th place. Just behind SLR Dodgy (Racing Point) braked late into T1 and almost made contact with SLR Gareth (Redbull) having to cut the corner to avoid damage but was able to execute the switchback on T2 to take 5th place. Lap 6 saw the first major accident as dingledolphin86 (Renault) and RUNthaJewels24 (Williams) came together on the exit of Ascari. This saw dingledolphin86 plough into the wall and receive terminal damage bringing the safety car out. The end of lap 6 we saw all the front runners come into the pits under the safety car with SLR Dodgy staying out to avoid the double stacking at Racing Point.
At the end of lap 8 race leader SLR Dodgy decided to pit in for hard tyres before the safety car came back in pushing him back to 17th in the race. This gave Jon5y (Alfa Romeo) the lead of the race with Nedklaw (Mclaren) 2nd and SLR St2oh (Ferrari) 3rd. The safety car came back in at the end of lap 9 and racing got back underway as Jon5y lead the restart but had Nedklaw and SLR st2oh right behind battling down the main straight. As they got around the first chicane it was Craigfk and SLR b33n that had both managed to jump SLR st2oh into 3rd and 4th. Moments later Craigfk and Nedklaw were side by side heading into Ascari. As they both made the turn there was slight contact and it was Nedklaw that ended up losing traction and spinning into the wall as Craigfk moved into 2nd with SLR B33n into 3rd as we moved onto a VSC. At the end of lap 12 it was 9th placed SLR Stevooo (Mclaren) that took a spin at the Parabolica dropping down to 17th and requiring a pitstop. At the end of lap 12 Nedklaw took a spin at the exit of Ascari getting damage and effectively ending his race as he pitted to retire.
It took until lap 13 before Craigfk could overtake Jon5y into 1st getting better traction a the Parabolica and going around the outside into the lead of the race. On lap 15 SLR Hyperz made a move down the main straight to overtake SLR B33n at T1 and T2 to take 3rd place with Jon5y still in 2nd on 14 lap old tyres as Spr1ghtly (Alpha Tauri) crashed into the wall at the Lesmos retiring from 8th place moving DaredPaul1986 up into 8th after being 20th at the end of lap 1. On lap 18 SLR B33n took 3rd place back from SLR Hyperz with a DRS overtake down the main straight into T1. Cal Smith F1 (Haas) in 6th had a look at Crafti3stJ3st3r in 5th into the Lesmos only to touch wheels and spin off the inside of the bend promoting SLR Gareth into 6th. The end of lap 18 saw Jon5y finally pit off his medium tyres meaning the top 5 were pretty much back to where they were at the start of the race.. A pitstop for Cal Smith F1 at the end of lap 19 moved SLR Dodgy up into 6th while Aflyinglemon (Ferrari) pitted a lap later to move SLR Colden into 8th and Scott85laney into 9th as we headed into the final stint of the race. Lap 26 and SLR Hyperz made a move up into P2 as he overtook SLR B33n on the main straight into T1 as 2nd to 4th were separated by only 6 tenths. Crafti3stJ3st3r then made a move on SLR B33n into 3rd place ahead of the 2nd chicane. The final incident of the race came on lap 26 as Crafti3stJ3st3r spun off around Ascari and retired from the race with terminal damage. The race came to an end with SLR B33n winning from SLR Hyperz in 2nd and SLR Gareth in 3rd.
