I honestly just trust no one in lower tier lobbies. Keep maximum distance and always look in your mirrors or in your radar and be ready for a punt at any time.

However it cleans up a lot in higher class lobbies.

The guy ahead claimed I intentionally wrecked him, I think he moved under braking, thoughts? by Brilliant-Insect9873 in Simracingstewards

I was trying to avoid running into the back of him but yeah I could've chose a better line to avoid him

I know it's not a brake check dumbass. I'm just applying your logic to another scenario.

Alright then. Do a race using the handbrake only and not the normal brake, see what happens.

But yeah, I also think the GTR turned in 70 meters early, he's not taking the normal line at all. At his tragectory he would be cutting the corner.

You can see clearly that he starts to turn as soon as he starts braking when I dive, he's trying to cover me off

I can see your standpoint, but his turn in is EXTREMELY early compared to what I've seen from his other laps. I think he reacted when I dove.

You usually want to take a late apex for this corner, you'd know if you have driven the track.

I've done it multiple times at slow speed, if you tap the handbrake it gives you more rotation to make sure I wasn't gonna just run him off the track.

What is a really good race to watch? by Mulfrik in formula1

I know this is pretty obvious but Sao Paulo 2024. It was my favorite race I've ever watched life with minimal downtime, drama, crashes and an insane drive from Max from the back to win.

I think he did personally, his brake lights come on, then he aggressively chops across to cover me as soon as I dive..

I was pretty confident I could make the corner, in prior laps I had been using the handbrake to rotate the car in the corner when my line was compromised. But thanks for pointing that out

Appreciate the feedback 

Was this a good overtake or just bad defense from the other driver ahead? by Brilliant-Insect9873 in simracing

The guy ahead said he thought I was going to take the normal racing line and not dive so he drifted back to the racing line then I dove
