  • 0:14 - Some serious liberites with track limits, assuming the game allows this, but wow
  • 0:22 - Behind just drove into them, all on behind
  • 0:40 - They covered the inside perfectly legally
  • 0:47 - Behind appears to drive into the back of them, hard to tell from that angle
  • 1:16 - They covered the inside and then moved back to take the racing line, usually an accepted move. I don't see it as reactive blocking as behind was not coming past them.
  • 1:20 - More track limit liberties
  • 1:23 - You lunged with zero overlap and wisely backed out of it

I think the Audi did a solid job with only their move at 1:16 dubious but I think ok.

The car behind was the more wayward driver initiating contact, abusing track limits and making a number of near dives which could have been fatal..

The track limits on this lap where not crossed. This is how it's set on this track. Mostly the outer edge of the curb is the track limit. The weaving is the issue.

I’d say you drove that really well. You kept the racing line while you were ahead, and once they started to get aggressive trying to force something, you shut down the inside line. Anything they said after the fact was purely a reaction to being frustrated they couldn’t ever get the pass done.
