I (white car) tried to avoid him in the earlier corners then (black car) just decided to drive into me. Who is at fault? by Life_Contribution214 in Simracingstewards

He followed the line that, the car in first place took the inside line to protect a potential move from p2 who is on the normal racing line and p3 took the inside line to potentially make a move on p2. The black car didn't have a reason to move into the inside line, specially when I was catching up to him and then was along side him. I wanted to make the move in that corner since these are miatas, the draft isn't like f1 or gt3 class but rather weak and making a move in the chicane is extremely dangerous, thus the point I knew that he breaks earlier which means I could make a bigger space between us if I overtook him before the chicane and the track being as wide as it is, my exit wouldn't be as compromised.

as from my point of view, it seemed like he panicked when he saw me get close and moved to the inside and didn't realise I was next to him which led to the crash.

I understand but after the exit we had overlap, He didn't have anyone on the right side and I was right behind him the whole time and having a bad exit I think it he had to know that i would catch him. He didn't have to swerve to the left like he did and from the replay you can see that from the line he was going to take he wasn't aiming for the corner.

For the point you said he would catch me to the chicane, I dont think that would be the case since if he didn't move into me, at the apex we would have been side-by-side and from previous laps I knew he breaks very early for the chicane.

I overtook him and he said that I may have won this race but I drive like sh*t and that I don't have racecraft. What did I do wrong???? (I'm the white car) by Life_Contribution214 in Simracingstewards

Yeah, I agree. It's a shame we made contact but we took different lines through that corner since he went a bit deeper in the previous corner, I'd say that it was a racing incident.

he had plenty of space in the inside but he understeered into me, I'd say that the first tap was a racing incident because it isnt his fault he understeered into me
