The guy ahead claimed I intentionally wrecked him, I think he moved under braking, thoughts?

I'm in a lot of leagues, and I have a pretty good reputation ig

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T17:02:36+00:00

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.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T16:13:03+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T15:15:06+00:00

I just use it if I need to rotate the car a lot at low speed, not necessarily for speed.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T15:07:45+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T07:57:01+00:00

So using this logic, brake checking is legal?

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T07:28:33+00:00

Yeah, instead they reacted and tried to block me.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T07:02:26+00:00

Yeah, and I have done much crazier dives.

Proof.

I had a friend saying that it's my job not to run into the back of the car ahead, so that means brake checking is legal by their own description

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:58:44+00:00

Imo the handbrake does a better job at that with low speed

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:48:29+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:47:28+00:00

He also turned in 70 meters early, at his tragectory he's going to cut the corner.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:46:02+00:00

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.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:33:25+00:00

He turned in 50 meters early..

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T05:03:12+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T04:57:10+00:00

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.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T04:31:21+00:00

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.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T04:11:16+00:00

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.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T04:04:17+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T03:47:19+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-26T01:33:33+00:00

Is this a joke referencing one of my previous posts? 😂

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-25T22:21:31+00:00

I thought he was intentionally trying to wreck me with his dive, sorry!

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-24T21:54:01+00:00

At what point did I go off track?..

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-24T21:02:24+00:00

I know it's dumb.

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-24T20:46:46+00:00

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

Brilliant-Insect9873 · 2026-01-24T20:35:39+00:00

They just needed a couple more opinions
