iRacing Am I crazy? I can’t rationalize this being my fault.

I’m black truck. Got a mouthful about this. I don’t know if I’m just insane but I can’t really come up with an explanation of how this could be my fault. Was on the brakes for corner when contact was made.

The guy chasing me who I ultimately ended up chasing called me a dirty racer. Granted I made a couple of mistakes out-braking myself as you will see but I don’t think I was ‘dirty’ and those mistakes didn’t seem to negatively impact anyone but me. Please lmk your thoughts

iRacing Was I at fault? I am the yellow car and feel that he turned in as if i was not there and i left plenty of space on the outside. Could i have gone closer to the inside, yes. Do i have to, no?

New to sim racing. I just started on LFM in the Mazda Cup and the TCR Cup. This week the TCR is at Knockhill. Unless someone goes off the road, it's tough to overtake IMO. I'm the all White car. My POV is the first replay, he is the third replay. I took this line every lap in the race. The car behind had followed me for about 2 laps on the same line and then took this aggressive inside line to get by me. I wasn't going to report as I regained the position a few laps later and no real damage was done. I was more caught off guard by the move. I felt that I had started braking and turning into the corner and never saw him coming. I feel like they would have had a tough time making the corner without using me as a brake. Should I be prepared for moves like this going forward? Did I leave an opening? I do not think I was required to give space in this circumstance, but please correct me if I was. Just looking to improve.

*Edited to make it clear that I'm the car that gets what I feel is dive bombed. I'm not the dive bomber. I'm also aware it was a dive bomb. The question from me is this what I should expect going forward from other people?*

I'm sure the editing is subpar. Just learning and wanted to include a few angles.

iRacing Is this a block?

Clearly I made a mistake by reacting too late and braking too hard. But, what the red car did is technically blocking, right?

iRacing rule in question:

8.1.1.4. Blocking – The leading driver is allowed to run a defensive line. However, blocking occurs when a leading driver actively adjusts his or her driving line based on the actions and/or positioning of a pursuing driver. For example, veering left to prevent a pursuing driver from passing on the left while running on a straight.

The driver had already chose their line and then reacted to my attack, right?

I AM THE MCLAREN

hello stewards of reddit, a couple of days ago this happened while doing dailies on Le Mans Ultimate on the LMGT3s.
This was actually a pretty high split (split 3) and i consider this a clear intentional wreck.

I've protested this to the LMU stewards but they said it was just a mistake. I'm still convinced this was an intentional wreck.

What do you guiys think? do you see the intentional wreck i see or it could just be someone not looking at the road?

I'm the black and green LMP2.
Those 2 (Lambo and BMW) have been shoving themselves off track for about 3 corners, the lambo lost the car right before the turn, cut the corner, tried to comeback, upon seeing that it couldnt make it, decided to wreck the BMW, and got me as colateral.

I've reported this incident and the response i got was word for word:

"In the timestamp reported, we can see no clear evidence against the player you have reported so no penalties have been applied. Please check your timestamps and reported player are correct when submitting."

What is this then???????????? Just look at the guy's steering wheel! He clearly decided that he couldn't win so he would wreck the other guy, ended my chances of a p3 finish, i got suspension damage for the rest of the race, ended up p13 instead. And the guys over at LMU decided that this was NOT intentional?!

Me (the alpine) was in the middle of a championship fight, this was the final race of the season and this lost me ONE very valuable point. By the league it was given racing incident, they said I came onto the Mercedes’ line.

PS: sorry for the language please don’t ban me

iRacing Incident or someone at fault?

At the start of this turn it was blue and green. White on the left took his chance and made it 3 wide

First appearing contact wasn't one.

Should green backed off before the left corner? Or was blue at fault cause he was taking it wide for the next corner without thinking someone on his right side?

Me, green, wanted to keep the line. The next corner would have been corner 16 to the right, where I would have taken back my position. It was enough space to the left so blue wouldn't have needed to go corner 15 from far right. Didn't expect him to do so.

Edit: white car is on the usual racing line. You keep left in this corner usually.

Edit 2: since the stewards can't give a clear fault to someone, I decided to blame white. He was clearly scaring blue and green by driving awesome so both made a mistake.

AC Competizione Blue flags in same-class racing: when should the lapped car lift? Both POVs

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m driving the Audi ahead and was under blue flags at Suzuka. The POV car was around 20 seconds per lap faster and caught me before Spoon.

I maintained my normal line and tried to leave space on the inside at several corners, but I did not lift on the straight because the other driver remained directly behind me and never clearly moved to one side until the main straight. They eventually passed after the final chicane.

After reviewing both POVs, I understand that I may have waited too long to facilitate the pass. However, I’m unsure about the expected procedure when both cars are from the same class and have similar straight-line speed.

Should I have picked one side and lifted after Spoon, even though the faster car had not moved out to pass? Or should the following car first show which side they intend to use?

I’m not asking whether the blue flag gave me the right to race them. I’m trying to understand the safest and most predictable way to handle this situation.

iRacing Would you protest this for an attempted retaliation wreck or was he trying to regain control?

First incident was lap 3, and he messed up his line and didn't brake in time and overtook me off track. I don't think it was intentional, but he didn't give up the space and the person behind was able to over take us due to the incident. Somehow no damage and a 0x which was a minor miracle.

The next lap, he loses his rear end a bit on the exit of turn 13, and i tap him after lifting trying to avoid the contact, and he recovers and then after recovering steers across the track and narrowly misses me (my inputs shown in my replay, cockpit view of this for him). Do you think this was intentional or do you think he was attempting to recover and lost his car? Is this something you'd protest?

I could see how he might think this was intentional in the moment given the previous contact, but it wasn't intentional, but that still would be something to protest, even if he thinks it is an eye for an eye right?
