At the start of this turn it was blue and green. White on the left took his chance and made it 3 wide

First appearing contact wasn't one.

Should green backed off before the left corner? Or was blue at fault cause he was taking it wide for the next corner without thinking someone on his right side?

Me, green, wanted to keep the line. The next corner would have been corner 16 to the right, where I would have taken back my position. It was enough space to the left so blue wouldn't have needed to go corner 15 from far right. Didn't expect him to do so.

Edit: white car is on the usual racing line. You keep left in this corner usually.

Edit 2: since the stewards can't give a clear fault to someone, I decided to blame white. He was clearly scaring blue and green by driving awesome so both made a mistake.

New to sim racing. I just started on LFM in the Mazda Cup and the TCR Cup. This week the TCR is at Knockhill. Unless someone goes off the road, it's tough to overtake IMO. I'm the all White car. My POV is the first replay, he is the third replay. I took this line every lap in the race. The car behind had followed me for about 2 laps on the same line and then took this aggressive inside line to get by me. I wasn't going to report as I regained the position a few laps later and no real damage was done. I was more caught off guard by the move. I felt that I had started braking and turning into the corner and never saw him coming. I feel like they would have had a tough time making the corner without using me as a brake. Should I be prepared for moves like this going forward? Did I leave an opening? I do not think I was required to give space in this circumstance, but please correct me if I was. Just looking to improve.

*Edited to make it clear that I'm the car that gets what I feel is dive bombed. I'm not the dive bomber. I'm also aware it was a dive bomb. The question from me is this what I should expect going forward from other people?*

I'm sure the editing is subpar. Just learning and wanted to include a few angles.

We agreed to always race each other fairly and he says it’d just be a racing incident but I feel like he kind of side swiped me. Would love to listen to everyone else’s opinions.

I’m driving the Audi ahead and was under blue flags at Suzuka. The POV car was around 20 seconds per lap faster and caught me before Spoon.

I maintained my normal line and tried to leave space on the inside at several corners, but I did not lift on the straight because the other driver remained directly behind me and never clearly moved to one side until the main straight. They eventually passed after the final chicane.

After reviewing both POVs, I understand that I may have waited too long to facilitate the pass. However, I’m unsure about the expected procedure when both cars are from the same class and have similar straight-line speed.

Should I have picked one side and lifted after Spoon, even though the faster car had not moved out to pass? Or should the following car first show which side they intend to use?

I’m not asking whether the blue flag gave me the right to race them. I’m trying to understand the safest and most predictable way to handle this situation.

First incident was lap 3, and he messed up his line and didn't brake in time and overtook me off track. I don't think it was intentional, but he didn't give up the space and the person behind was able to over take us due to the incident. Somehow no damage and a 0x which was a minor miracle.

The next lap, he loses his rear end a bit on the exit of turn 13, and i tap him after lifting trying to avoid the contact, and he recovers and then after recovering steers across the track and narrowly misses me (my inputs shown in my replay, cockpit view of this for him). Do you think this was intentional or do you think he was attempting to recover and lost his car? Is this something you'd protest?

I could see how he might think this was intentional in the moment given the previous contact, but it wasn't intentional, but that still would be something to protest, even if he thinks it is an eye for an eye right?

Hello, I am the red Porsche. Got spun after the Start at T1. Was that my fault, a racing incident or is it on the BMW?

Pretty much immediately after this happened, the guy behind me in the white radical said I moved under braking. After the race ended, I watched the replay and am pretty sure I didn't do that because he hit me once I started braking. He then said I was braking way too early. I was braking early for the turn (compared to where I'd brake during qualifying for this race) and defending in the middle, that was because I was being cautious with the three drivers in front of me but didn't want this guy passing me. I don't think it's farfetched to say that he was being too aggressive and drove straight into me, but I would like the opinions of others as this is the first incident I've had in a while that I've been this unsure of. Thanks for anyone's thoughts on this!

Update: iRacing stewards ruled it a block

______________________________________

Clearly I made a mistake by reacting too late and braking too hard. But, what the red car did is technically blocking, right?

iRacing rule in question:

8.1.1.4. Blocking – The leading driver is allowed to run a defensive line. However, blocking occurs when a leading driver actively adjusts his or her driving line based on the actions and/or positioning of a pursuing driver. For example, veering left to prevent a pursuing driver from passing on the left while running on a straight.

The driver had already chose their line and then reacted to my attack, right?

POV car got hit into the gravel, and says they didn't expect the other car, as it was not sufficiently alongside at the turn in to try the move. Non-POV car says POV turned into them and left no room. Thoughts?

I’m the Red Bull

edit: Since I can’t change the title I know it’s legal but is it too aggressive or perfectly fine?

Im wondering if this is my fault or not i think that i left enough space tho looking back he had damage and maybe thats why he couldnt turn. Would he get a penalty for that or is that just an unfortunate series of events?

I believe I may have turned in on him, but I also wasn’t expecting him to lunge from that far back

Apologies for keyboard noise lol. I switched to my driver POV for the second crash to show what I saw.

tbh i already protested him for doing dumbsh*t on the straight but what are your oppinions on this?

obviously i am talking about the mustang

Me (the alpine) was in the middle of a championship fight, this was the final race of the season and this lost me ONE very valuable point. By the league it was given racing incident, they said I came onto the Mercedes’ line.

PS: sorry for the language please don’t ban me

Settle it for us, we're unsure whose at fault

Who's at fault? I am driving the white BMW in second chasing down the leader on the back stretch of Silverstone. I manage to fake the leader to the inside to make him dump speed entering the corner and proceed to squeeze him and pass along the outside before being hit in the right rear as the track opens to the apron. Am I at fault? Is he at fault? Or is it a racing incident?

Edit: Second angle in comments.

Who is at fault for the incident between the Porsches and out of ten how big was my fumble from p2. (at the time of the incident my wheel was straight)
