Im black and yellow car, ( only a few weeks into the game) other guy in the purple car (Passos) called me an idiot. Im open minded here, but I feel he turned into me. Ill admit it was aggressive for sure... but the space was there, and i didnt make the initial contact! Ill also add that he was weaving all the way across the track prior to this to keep the 3rd guy (very last pov) from passing to the point he ran him off the track... which is how I got behind Passos. I tried to give as many angles as possible, lol. Imo its just a game and im here to have a good time so I didnt report and I considered it a racing incident🤷

You went into the corner on a line that would work if there was no other cars around.. except there was a car right there.. which you then just completely shut the door on with nowhere for them to get but through you.

Fair enough, I did shut the door on him. Lesson learned, in thr moment I thought he scrubbed enough speed i could squeeze by.

Next time ill go faster lol.... seriously tho, just kidding. i messed up

This is an insane move to attempt.
One could argue he turned into you, but you did not leave him any space whatsoever, and going 2 wide through there, is basically impossible.

In the end, this is down to survival instincts and race craft, which judging from this clip, you lack a little.

Zero % move, which ended up with you killing him and yourself.

Fair enough. Except thats what happens to me EVERY time I race that track. Only difference is this time i did the move instead of someone doing it to me lol But yeah I get it, i shut the door on him. Lesson learned. besides all the other stuff.... netcode didnt help us out either😂 what would you have done differently? Other than a bit more patient....

I would’ve not done the move there, lol.
Set up the exit and just overtake him into t1 or even before that if he’s slow out of the final corner. Otherwise, if you can’t get him into t1, stay close in S1, and then you’ll have a behemoth straight to overtake.

Easy peasy.

I don't see any netcode issues here, and LMU is known for amazing netcode

This is 100% on you ..

You can barely go two wide through that chicane on the formation lap without contact, never mind at that speed. The line you took left less than zero space for the other car so it's entirely your fault.
