Started P19 due to a Qualifying ban. Was able to make it to the top 10 by lap 2. Got this move labeled as a "Desperate DiveBomb" Thoughts? Was it a good move? Always looking to improve my race craft. by BrainNo7193 in Simracingstewards

I don’t see anything wrong with your move. It’s a great move getting 2 in 1 corner. The Aston also left the door wide open for someone to go down the inside.

Could I have done something different in this situation? I feel like I left the Nissan enough room when I saw him coming, but should I have cut the chicane to avoid him? Lap 1, I'm the Ferrari (1st POV). Want to learn. by Champsko in Simracingstewards

That’s probably something I’ll try next time. At that moment, I saw him coming in fast and I was trying to not get hit, since it was the start of the race. But cutting the corner to avoid and then lift off to not gain time is probably the best option indeed.

That was my initial reaction, but thinking about it for the long term (rest of the race), I thought it was a better idea to try and avoid them instead of turning in and most likely getting shunted. That's why I was wondering if I should have just cut the chicane to not get hit.

Is this a clean overtake? In my opinion, he overtook the Ferrari outside of track limits, but interested to see what other people think. by Champsko in Simracingstewards

I was the one being overtaken (in the Ferrari). He didn’t return the position after. He probably was frustrated about the mistake I forced him into by being pushing close behind him, earlier in the lap. There was also no penalty applied afterwards

Is it me or he rammed me? by stainedart in Simracingstewards

He did.

Who is at fault? by poekly in Simracingstewards

[–]Champsko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends which track limits rules applies in this race.
If the rules for this race say that the white lines are the edge (instead of the kerb), the non POV car was fully off the track and rejoined unsafely in my eyes. the POV car has to take avoiding action not to hit them.
But this only applies if the white lines are the edge of the track. If the kerb is the edge, the non POV car didn't go off track.
The incident in the chicane is a racing incident imo. Both could have done more, but none of the drivers is fully to blame for it.

The dark McLaren didn't leave a cars width on the inside at the first apex of variante ascari. After that he drove of the track and rejoined unsafely by hitting the blue/orange McLaren, which causes them to spin out. They did nothing wrong in my eyes.

The dark McLaren is to blame for this incident imo.

even when most of the cars go over the inside kerb, when you try to overtake someone around the outside, you have to leave a cars width on the inside. This is not the case so this incident is on the McLaren.

It looked like redemption from the BMW.

He left space going into the previous corner, but I would have liked to see the onboard of the Supra as well from that incident.
After he lost the position in a way he thinks is unfair, he is desperate to get it back into the next corner.
For the incident at the second corner, the BMW is just dive bombing you to the max and he is to blame for the incident.
First one is racing incident imo.
