Matters from Race 31: Deputy Race Director Incident Determinations At the request of Kelly Racing, the DRD conducted an investigation into an allegation that Car #44 was driving excessively slowly under Safety Car. No breach was established by a review of Broadcast and Gearhouse footage, nor by Supercars telemetry, and the DRD therefore determined that the matter did not warrant referral to the Stewards. At the request of Brad Jones Racing, the DRD conducted an investigation into an allegation that Car #34 slowed excessively in the Pit Entry lane. A review of Broadcast and Gearhouse footage did not reveal slowing beyond what might be anticipated in damp conditions of a Car slowing to ensure it did not exceed the Pit Lane speed limit in Pit Lane. Therefore no breach of the Rules was established. Stewards’ Decisions – Penalties imposed On Lap 3 the Stewards imposed a 15 Second Time Penalty on Car #3, Jones/Blanchard, for a breach of Article 3.5.1 of Schedule B3 – failure to immediately comply with Mechanical Flag.

The rotation of the wheels was also observed by the HoM. The Stewards imposed a 15 second Time Penalty on Car #19 for a breach of Rule D11.8.8. Car #3 made contact with Car #4 at Turn 23 on Lap 96 as a result of which Car #4 became beached in the gravel trap at the exit of Turn 23 and had to be recovered.
