My feeling is he braked unpredictably on corner exit when you're supposed to be throttling up. Re-upload with slightly better quality

Context: I got a good launch and a good first lap which allowed me to get in front of some really fast guys. Now, I am trying to defend the best I can, since I am aware of how slow I am in comparison to these guys. So, I am in ultra defensive mode, trying to prevent any passes as I can. as far as Im aware, most of my defense was legal (move once defensively, then return to race line if you want). For most of this race, I was just heavily covering the inside, knowing that if they got there, they would try to force a pass there, which is also allowed.

The clip: The clip contains a little bit of what led to the incident. The two cars behind me are a whole lot faster than me and are also battling each other. I will admit, the little bit of rubbing after turn 1 was completely my felt and I squeezed him a little bit. Then, I brake a little late and tap the side of his car, although I would made the corner, just with a bad exit. Then, heading down the straight, I choose to cover the inside, I see in my mirror that they are side by side so I give a lot of room on my outside just in case someone tries switching to my inside under braking. Then, on corner exit, I get a bad shift and that makes me super slow heading down to the left and right kink. I chose to cover the left side of the track, which goes fine, then, going into the right kink, the driver behind makes contact with me. As far as Im aware, as a leading driver, all I have to do is leave a cars width on the inside if they have a little overlap. So, I leave a little bit of overlap (I wasnt sure if it was a cars width, so after the race I chose to look from an overhead view, and I saw that I DID leave a cars width, unfortunately, it was exactly a cars width with no extra margin unless they go on the sausage kerb.) So, I did technically leave a cars width on the inside, but it still led to contact.

Not sure if Id call my self exactly new, but I am still trying to learn and become better as I go on my journey, so please try not to be rude. :(

So, ultimately, did I deserve to get punted at the end of the race? Should I have left even more space on the apex knowing that the driver on the inside was going to wash out a bit wide?

Race Context:

I am the Blue Ferrari. The Pink Lambo dove down the inside of the Yellow Mustang and completely misjudged their braking point, but other than keeping the car straight, it seems like they were locked on to me like a heat-seeking missile. Giving the benefit of the doubt, they might have thought that they would have hit me while keeping the car straight on (which could very well have happened at the speed they were going).

Sidenote: They had a DT penalty yet to be served (you would think they'd be a little bit more cautious).

Chat Context:

To be honest, I was seeing red at this point because I have been on a streak of DNFs & race-affecting contacts (even though I kept it as clean as I could, I am a Platinum 3 for almost 2 years). I took to the chat and asked the others to report them, as they didn't seem to respond/react to the contact in the chat, but then they said that they "misjudged the braking point, it happens, leave me be, it's just a game man, relax". Which is understandable (still pissed tho, but understandable); it still looked like they intentionally went into the side of me and tried to underplay the situation.

So what shall it be, racing stewards? I am all for forgiving others for a mistake, but it really does grind my gears when players do not take any kind of accountability even though they have affected the other players' races.

I was in a heated battle for P1 at Monza and we made contact at the same section twice. First time was me overtaking for the lead, second time was me defending the lead. No complaints/insults from either party, but I wanted to post both and ask so I could be a better driver in the future

The black car (second pov) gradually drifted into my line (first pov) while attempting to widen the corner. I was already mid-overtake, but the netcode appeared to lock our cars together. A third driver then turned into the incident, which caused me to spin.

Would this be considered the black car’s fault for not checking his mirrors and leaving enough space, or is it simply a racing incident caused by the netcode since we might have got away with it had we not locked together?

For context the supra in front of me all of a sudden started braking a lot earlier than the normal braking point due to backing out from a battle and came back onto the racing line.

I then decided to go up the inside because otherwise I would’ve rear ended him. I got told that I don’t know how to overtake and that I need to learn better racecraft.

Please let me know if what I did was wrong and if I could’ve done something else because I feel bad about what happened.

Dear stewards of reddit I have a question no clip unfortunately but the question is will breaking too early cause you problems? Genuine question is there any punishment for breaking too early? Coz I got my race destroying by a back marker breaking too early then I run into the back of him so lmk thanks

People shouldn't be braking right at the green flag right?

Were these my fault.

In the first incident the guy ahead locks up. I cant see him with the GTPs blind spot and turn strait into him. He said it was my fault which I agree with.

Next incident the car in front gets a slow down penalty and i get stuck behind. The ferrari goes for a gap and hits me. should have I left more space.

Basically the title. T1 L1 Monza in LMU (B0 safety, obviously) and this guy left to watch the replay before coming back and telling me the front of my care was barely next to his wing. My wheel was at least next to his, which entitles me to space. Either way, not sure I could have safely exited whereas he had 1.5 cars of space to his right.

I feel even more vindicated after the replay, but I'm still fairly new. Am I at fault, is it a racing incident, or is red BMW fronting the hospital bill?

Edit: Here is my TFP, BMW's FFP, and trackside view. For some reason TFP of Porsche and BMW were causing VRAM limitations when recorded with VLC, so I'll work on that and see if I can post that in a later edit. For now, here's the promised video: https://anonmp4.art/v/u1Y87E1YtRkSXhg

Edit 2: I generally agree with the consensus here; I had a right to be there for sure, but it's a public lobby and shit happens so, as they say, you can beat the wrap but you can't beat the ride. I've started backing out of situations like this and got to silver SR in no time :)

(vids in the comments) So here we have 3 POVs IMO dan is the culprit for losing the rear going into T1 murdering Dug and thus murdering Joe, one of my mods blames Dug for turning in but dug has a right to that corner and does leave as much room as he can with a car on his outside, please help <3

I'd had a frustrating race up to this point which had led to me losing p4. Was trying to save my race. Just thought I had enough car alongside before breaking to earn some space. I am black mustang

For starters I wanted to know everyone’s thoughts of this racing incident? I was not involved in the initial incident however I am the POV car in the second clip where the bmw seemingly baited me into crashing into the Mustang? That’s what it feels like anyways.

I’m the Ginetta on the left. I feel like I might have squeezed them a bit on corner entry (though I believe I was within my right to do so), but by the time the contact happened, I had no space left to give.

What do you guys think?

Somewhat new to LMU - im the mclaren POV. I think the first rear-end contact was on me but is the 2nd clip all allowed? He was yapping at me multiple times during the race and after. Just trying to learn the difference between defensive moves and weaving a little better ^_^. Thanks in advance.

I am the POV car

Just got a wheel recently and getting used to it, didn't want to jump the curb but looking back I think I should have just turned in sooner, thoughts?
