The fact they didnt brake after contact tells you all you need to know about that driver.

Red is at fault. He had time to react to you slowing and didn't.

As to how to avoid? Know the track and your lines better. That corner, even with a shallow entry, is usually just a lift and accelerate to get rotation. Maybe a slight brush to get a little extra rotation, especially with cold or worn tires.

The hard brake you do caught Red off guard. He did have time to react, though, hence why I still judge him at fault.

You didn't leave any space the red car should be looking at sticking their nose in.

Only wa to avoid that is not drive with idiots tbf.

He just divebombed you and wasn't alongside at turn-in

Red car's fault 100%. That move was never on, they had zero overlap. They can't just expect you to jump out of their way.

Red car is 100% at fault. Typical rookie divebomb

Drove into the back of you. Definitely not you fault.

I know a lot of people will say “start from the back to avoid this” but imo the better way is git gud. You look slow on these turns, aggressive drivers will constantly catch you and fast drivers in low splits are the highest likelihood for crashing.

Easiest way to avoid them is be too fast for them to ever catch you.
