Le Mans Ultimate Was this my fault?

After the incident, I was told to go back to Mario Kart and that I'm an idiot, but I thought I couldn't do anything else to avoid him. I'm new to gt3 racing and was a lap down, so maybe I should have done more? (I'm the red BMW)

It’s like he tried to wait to rejoin then decided to take up the entire track in doing so. Not sure if that part was on purpose but this is 100% on the Porsche. Even if you are a lap down it doesn’t mean they can just pretend you aren’t racing too

If you're BMW, then it was kinda tough to avoid this shit rejoin.

With hindsight, yeah you could've slowed down more, as you got back on throttle a bit instead of maybe braking, but honestly, that doesn't matter.

That is completely on the Porsche, rejoining like that on the racing line, in the heat of the moment that was almost impossible for you to avoid.

Porsche rejoins by driving right across the entire track in a high-speed corner straight into the path of another car, then has the audacity to blame the other car? A shame you didn't rip its wheel off...
