If more than one driver claims the yellow, all drivers who claim will be given an EOL. The EOL will be given with 2 laps to go to green. If you don't claim the yellow and an admin must go look at the replay to see what the yellow was for you will get a Penalty done by the list below. This also applies to black flags being cleared.(If you believe the caution is a racing incident caused by both drivers you may decide to not claim but at the end of the race the admins will review the caution to decide if a penalty should be accessed to drivers involved in a caution.)
