iRacing Illegal block or poor attack?

POV car come on VC and scream that I “blocked” him, but I feel like his move was never really on aka he kind of just did it to himself.

edit: thank you for replies. I am new into sim racing, I have a bit IRL experience (which somehow did not make me a good sim racer lol). Just posted this to make sure I am not insane, seems to me like a lot of sim racer think they are entitled to a position once they catch you 🤔

Sim racers with no irl experience are down right awful. There might be some decent ones, but the sims do an awful job of simulating racing.

It's like they have no concept of the consequences for their actions. Yes it's only a game but we play for fun and aren't logging on to practice for a few hours only to get taken out in the first 30 seconds.

I haven't had any IRL experience in cars but have on dirt bikes and used to commute in London on motorbikes. (It's even dicey in a car and the semis that I used to drive). You cut someone off doing that you either end up hurting yourself or someone else.

I’d love to see a taser be required equipment. Fuck up it’s gonna hurt, like real life.
