After last week's antics in Australia, we pointed our travels towards the Ardennes Forest for some more mixed-conditions racing at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. After a great round in Australia, who would capitalise and take the points this weekend?

Ticket # 219 - Incidents involving Matherrx & SLR Medal2533 on Lap 1 & Lap 9
Outcome: Qualifying Ban + 3LP to Matherrx for retiring on track.
Reason: Both incidents submitted are not to be penalised. In the first incident, Matherrx moves under braking both into the bus stop and into Turn 1. The 2nd incident Matherrx makes a move from a long way back, barely poking his front win alongside Medal. He then tries to barge past into the pit lane whilst still behind and does not yield resulting in him going head on into the wall due to the pit lane only being wide enough for one car. Matherrx then retires from the race whilst not in the pit lane, hence why the standard penalty has been applied.
Ticket # 220 - raceroller22 warning removal requests
Outcome: request denied.
Reason: From the 3 clips provided, the stewards did not believe that there were means for removal. in the first clip roller tries a risky move around the outside of eau rouge and such is given 2 track limit warnings by the game, and in the second clip he is given ample room by the car on the outside.
Ticket # 221 - Lap 1 incident involving SLR Darnell & raceroller22
Outcome: 3s + 1LP to raceroller22 for causing a collision
Reason: the stewards believe that SLR Darnell was warranted more room at Les Combes, and that roller turned in slightly too early. The incident at Malmedy however was not Roller's fault.
Ticket # 222 - Nicholas Sampson penalty removal request
Outcome: request accepted - 20s pen removed.
Reason: in a close battle on the final chicane where there was not much room, we have allowed this to be removed as Nico gave the position back to Arbon after overtaking him off track.

Ticket # 212 - Lap 1 incident involving JD_DEVILNOOB & RSF1 Michael
Outcome: 5s + 1LP to RSF1 Michael for causing a collision
Reason: The stewards believe that Michael has tried to leave some room here, but not left enough, and hence has spun JD.
Tickets # 213 / # 214 - Lap 9 incident involving JD_DEVILNOOB & F1ABQW3RTYYY
Outcome: Qualifying Ban + 3LP to F1ABQW3RTYYY for retiring on track
Reason: JD makes light contact with Qwerty when attempting the move into the corner, unsettling Qwerty's car and the correction from this is the cause of the collision, so the stewards believe this is not a penalty. However, Qwerty then decided to retire on track and leave the session, so the standard retire on track penalty is applied.

18. GazzaBridger (DNF)
Ticket # 215 - Lap 22 incident involving Petronas34 & BadOtterTV
Outcome: 3s + 1LP to BadOtterTV for a dangerous defensive manoeuvre.
Reason: BadOtter doesn't give a cars width to Petronas when he goes for the move down the straight, and such forces him onto the grass.
Ticket # 216 - Lap 1 incident involving BadOtterTV & COLDEN3335
Outcome: 5s + 1LP to COLDEN3335 for causing a collision (2LP due to DNF)
Reason: Colden misses his braking point and hits BadOtter ahead of him, and the momentum from this collision sends both BadOtter and Lofty into the gravel.
Ticket # 217 - Petronas34 & iKarizmik AI usage
Outcome: 10s + 2LP to Petronas34 & iKarizmik for excessive use of AI
Reason: As noted in the rules, drivers are not allowed to use AI for prolonged periods of time, and with the current state of the game, this has been exaggerated and reiterated. Both drivers spend prolonged periods of time in AI under safety car conditions, and such the regular penalty has been applied to both drivers.
