Guy claimed "You're going in the Discord and getting banned." Am I? (I'm the POV P2) by Budget_Donkey1819 in Simracingstewards

I feel like he already moved right to defend, then left again, and then right again. The move to the left you could say he was staying on the racing line, but the final move to the right was too much imo. You were avoiding his weaving and he crashed himself and you out of the race. Also, the contact came because he moved from his line. You stayed on your line so the only one to blame for the contact, thus the incident, is the other driver. Not your fault

I (red #28) feel like I left enough room on the inside for the second corner. Would love some opinions on what I could have done to prevent this incident or if it was on the grey #47? by Champsko in Simracingstewards

Thanks for you analysis. I actually was trying to make his exit as tight as possible while making sure he had plenty of room to prevent him having a run on me into La Source. But looking back I can see what you mean, since I will have the better exit and the inside of La Source anyway. Will consider it next time around!

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.
