Stewards Comments and Feedback
A Asiain is put on probation due to 2 AC penalties within 2 races
G Saracino recieves a straight up raceban for Bahrain and upon return he will be on probation
D Cannistraci recieves a raceban for Bahrain for getting penalties while on probation
J Raivio is taken off probation
S Vare is taken off probation

Overall Division 2 did slightly better lapcount vs penalties - but having done 15982 laps and 31 penalties, Division 1 ends with a penalty on every 0.19% of the laps done is acceptable. It was a tricky track, but this is VEC and not a random online open lobby session. Both you and us needs to be challenged, you can't just race the obvious tracks every season. Good job drivers.

Stewards Comments and Feedback
C Medeiros goes on probation for US during C80 countdown and procedure
C Deghilage goes on probation for Unsportsmanlike behaviour and retaliation
R Mendez stays on probation due to not racing at Road Atlanta

Overall drivers did really well at Road Atlanta, again it shows when the track is tricky drivers actually take care and show respect. Mistakes will happen, but considering it was 50 cars doing a total of 13919 laps. 24 penalties = 0.17% of the laps had a penalty.

I don't know if this version is the same from the latest version of Road Atlanta by Odb on the Steam workshop. I did some race on this track on LFM some weeks ago and me and some other ppl had problems on The Esses, some got lags, stuttering and for me there was ffb stuttering.
The feeling for me was like the feedback to my wheel came some millisecond later, every lap, and I got it only in race and only in this sector of the track. FPS were right, just the FFB. The rest o f the track works fine.
I have a simucube 2 pro and I found this problem only on this track and only on in race session.

Also @Michi Hoyer in one of his live streaming said something about it.

I had the exact same issues and nobody knew why ! Its definitely not track related, it was working after reinstalling windows. So first try to reinstall rf2 and all sim related software, and if its not working windows.

I belive it's track related because it is the only track I had this issue, and not only me but several ppl have it, in the same sector.
