So in NASA if you have 2 tires off when you make contact you are considered to be trying to avoid the incident but really, any driver really knows that if they need to punt someone they just need to have 2 tires off to do so without repercussions. Read those rules closely, this is one of the many things NASA gets really wrong.
However, none of this applies to the Senna/Prost incident but I wanted to put it out there anyway.

Most racing classes in NASA have added a "leave 1car width plus 1 inch" rule now. I haven't checked if it's in the GCR yet.
