Matters from Race 8
Deputy Race Director Incident Determinations
On Lap 44 at Turn 3, the left rear wheel nut was observed to fall from Car #12, Fabian Coulthard, some 22 Laps after Car #12's last Pit Stop and roll across the Circuit. The wheel nut was recovered and subsequently examined, along with the wheel and other relevant components on Car #12, by the S&TD. Because the cause of the failure could not be attributed to the Team having released Car #12 in an unsafe manner or condition, the DRD determined that no breach of the Rules was established and that the matter did not warrant referral to the Stewards.

Stewards' Decisions – Penalties imposed
The Stewards imposed a fifteen (15) second Pit Stop Time Penalty on Car #23, Michael Caruso, for a breach of Schedule B2 Article 2.1.1 (Careless Driving) – causing contact with Car #230, Will Davison, at Turn 4 on Lap 2 which caused Car #230 to spin and lose positions.
