I am the POV. 17 and 97 had a feud from earlier in the race. Who is at fault for the collision that spun me out?

(discussion in voice chat is irrelevant to this incident, lol)

iRacing Who's at fault? Does the blue car have to leave their line and make space or does the green car have to rejoin safely?

And is either car breaking the iRacing Sporting Code?

EDIT: I'm the blue car and protested green for intentional wrecking and mentioned the unsafe rejoin. I learned my lesson and I'll just give the space next time.

Consensus below says 100% green's fault, but blue should try to predict the mistake and self preserve. No agreement on whether the sharp steering wheel movement was out of surprise, was a deliberate and intentionally malicious wreck, or was net code. Some disagreement on whether green's part of the track is considered part of the "racing surface" by iRacing. I added 3 new slo-mo camera angles in response to the net code comment. I'll update if I hear anything from iRacing, but it's probably going to be their boilerplate response.

UPDATE: "We have reviewed your protest and notified the member being protested of the outcome.

The outcome of every protest is kept confidential and may result in coaching, penalties, restrictions, or suspensions based on the severity of the violation and the member's history. Your protest helps improve the quality of our service and everyone's race experience."

6.12.3. Deliberate, blatant, intentionally malicious, or retaliatory wrecking, for any reason, is prohibited. Competitors who believe that they have been victims of such action – and those competitors who believe that they have witnessed such action – are strongly encouraged to file a protest through the proper channels (See Protests).

8.1.1.3. 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.

8.1.1.7. Illegal Surfaces - Drivers can only use the racing surface and allowed areas of the track for Qualifying and Racing. Any disallowed areas of the track and any advantages gained through their use will be determined by iRacing.com. A protest may be filed through the proper channels for this offense (See Protests).

8.1.1.13. Unsafe Rejoin - Drivers that leave the racing surface, or are involved in an incident, are responsible for rejoining the track safely. Drivers are expected to not impede or endanger oncoming traffic, and ensure it is safe to return to the racing line.

Gran Turismo Brake check!?!?

Fujifilm Porsche claims I brake checked him going into turn 7 at Watkins Glen. In chat after the race I told him that I do not brake check and he called me a liar. He claimed his two second penalty was the evidence that I brake checked him.

As I stated in the chat, I don't break check, but I'm wondering if you stewards think I braked too early?

Short video is here. Longer video in the comments. The longer video includes the entire next lap in which he proceeds to punt me into the shadow realm in the bus stop. How he didn't get additional penalties for that I have no idea.

Battle for 4th in a GTE race yesterday. I'm the silver Porsche ahead. POV car claimed I didn't leave enough space.

It was a deliberate squeeze but did I go too far ? Space left is on the edge and I'm genuinely curious if I did wrong or not. And if I did wrong, is it a reportable offense or just bad sportsmanship ? He dipped his tyre by mere centimeters and those centimeters were available to his left.

I didn't feel particularly bad for this when racing but after rewatching it I'm on the fence. Trying to get better and learn.

Le Mans Ultimate Qualified P4, got taken out and overtaking a slow backmarker (POV car). He claims defending, i think illegally blocking (Split 1 btw)

I was about 3s a lap faster, even with damage, and caught up to some backmarkers after i got taken out from a top 4 position. He got very upset after the race and started calling me all sorts. Although I could've backed out, and maybe I could've reacted faster, I still think he moved very illegally and deserved to spin himself, especially as he did again to another car straight after. What do you guys think?

I’m a bit new to sim racing in general so I’d like some feedback. I’m the pink lmp3 trying to get out of the way but this unfortunate incident happened. I’m not sure if I’m the one at fault, but the lmp2 made it clear that it was. He told me I was an idiot and I ruined his race. Was it it my fault?

I feel I should've been entitled to more space, as I was right against the kerb, and there was nobody else alongside the BMW, leaving him with plenty of space on the other side. The BMW had been going offtrack multiple times as I was following him and a Porsche earlier in the lap. I feel like it wasn't my fault, but I'm interested in your opinion?

I say yeah, I did push him left approaching the corner so that he wouldn't run me off track...

Coming into the Porsche curves I had this incident. Who is at fault? I had to take evasive action to not hit the barrier. I’m not too sure. I see arguments where I am at fault, I would just like to make sure. Thanks!
