Emre Cihan, 6 second slowdown, 1 strike

Racing incident

Jonas Wanner / Adam Pinczes, Lap 1, Turn 1

This was a difficult scene, but we decided that it will be counted as a racing incident, since Wanner was clearly out of control and not trying to re-enter.

Leonard Krippner, warning

Emre Cihan / Attila Diner, Lap 5, Turn 4

Super Finale

Stewarding Team:
Robert Wiesenmüller, Michael Bell, Jan Stange, Chris Butcher, Luca Stegner

Not listing scenes that were reviewed and clearly racing incident or "spun himself".

Race 1

Jack Keithley, Lap 1, T2
Keithley goes side by side with the Jarschel and leaves just enough room on the exit.
Racing incident

Tim Heinemann, Lap 1, End of Esses
Heinemann gets surprised by Müller slowing down more, taps his back and spins himself. DeJong gets impeded a bit, but at this point Heinemann's car was out of control.
Racing incident

Nils Naujoks, Lap 4, T11
Naujoks hits Nagy in the hairpin, who spins
Nils Naujoks, 6 second slowdown, 1 strike

Bence Bánki, Lap 5, T2-3
Bánki leaves just enough room for Wisniewski
Racing incident

Kevin Siggy, Penultimate Lap, T9
Rogers runs on the grass in Degner 1 exit. He has dirty tyres and cannot accelerate fully. Siggy gives him a tap, but Rogers was a lot slower at this point that Siggy could have expected.
Racing incident

Race 2

Robin Betka, Lap 1, T3
Betka taps Ostgaard into a spin. In the resulting chaos, Heinemann also goes deep and taps Naujoks wide.
Robin Betka, 6 second slowdown, 1 strike
Tim Heinemann, warning

Peyo Peev, Lap 1, T5
Borderline defending from Peev against Naujoks that ultimately results into a spin from Naujoks.
The 2 lean on each other on the straight, which unsettle Naujoks right before the kerb. Peev forces Naujoks on the kerb, which counts as part of the track, but he could have left more room easily here. As Naujoks' car is unsettled, when he comes over the kerb, he touches Peev again and spins.
Peyo Peev - warning

Tim Heinemann / Robin Betka / Bence Bánki, Lap 2, T1-3
Heinemann leaves little room on T1, Bánki is on the inside and they make contact at the pass. As a result Betka comes past Heinemann and moves slightly under braking for the next corner, and Heinemann swerves to the other side, taps him and goes alongside again.
Equally hard driving from all 3.
Racing incident.

Joe Hountondji, Lap 3, T3
Hountondji spins Garcia. As Garcia has a strange line after running deep, we reduce to half penalty.
Joe Hountondji, 3 second slowdon

Michael Romanidis, Lap 4, T3
Hard but fair pass against Keithley.
Racing incident

Tim Heinemann, Lap 6, T1
Nagy goes for an attack on Heinemann from far back. Heinemann turns in, they make contact and Nagy spins. We thought that Nagy came from too far back to make this attack stick.
