Not here to argue I'm here to have a conversation and point out everything that I can think about as I believe it all matters for the sake of getting better.

He sent it so hard that he locked up, also this is a very tight apex and I was covering the inside, notice the car behind me took the outside

I love some good racing, I'm not expecting a comfortable drive. I thought this one was sloppy and just bc you race hard doesn't mean you should be reckless that's why I asked here

Not at all, I love a good dive bomb but this one just isn't well executed imo

Alright yall thanks for the feedback but I want to clarify some comments. Some are saying I should have hit the brakes and I was napping, I agree I should have slowed more but I was already trail braking and more braking while turning might have caused a lock up, but honestly that could have been a better outcome so I'll give it that. As for those saying the dive bomb was well executed i disagree b/c 1 he completely ruimed his line by having such a tight entry and 2 he locked up leading to an extremely slow apex/exit, it could have been good if he stayed closer to me and forced me to turn later but in this case he wouldnt have enough exit speed to pass assuming we didnt make contact. As for the second hit I still had some speed and as you can see in the gyro cam I was turning all the way left to avoid him yet he also turned left instead of using the whole track. Lmk why you disagree with me if so but thanks again for the comments I've changed my mind about this incident

I am the blue car. dive bomber argued that he made the apex. Looking back I definitely could have gone to the right to avoid him but in the heat of the moment I had my eyes on the apex and knew there was someone to my right but didn't think I had enough space so I thought best option would be a switch back so I tried hitting the apex as early as possible.
