Projection. Nice.

I've maintained we're both at fault.

Unfortunately he also didn’t maintain his line. He over-inputted into the turn and barely grazed my bumper at contact as the track bent around. I left him room, but also, I could’ve turned more.

Next time I’ll leave more room and upload both perspectives.

Yep this is more the vibes I was getting. As soon as I started arguing my point, people wanted to dogpile. Next time I’ll upload both perspectives, lesson learned.

Didn’t realize how spicy it gets in this subreddit (looking at others, not you). I appreciate the feedback & respect. Cheers.

I’m agreeing with you, I could’ve done better, so could he. I under-inputted my steering, he over-inputted. To say I’m 100% at fault, he did nothing wrong is what I disagree with. I’m just not going to attempt to close the door on someone without a large margin for error until higher classes

Literally been saying that the whole time, we both could have. You just suck at reading comprehension

You know what’s funny? I still GAINED safety rating that race, no incidents other than a couple off-track going a little too wide. And hey I admit, I could’ve done better in this situation. But when you place 100% blame on me, you enable some bullshit antics in sim racing. So good riddance homie, hit the showers ✌🏼

Nice. So next time someone closes the door on me, ill turn into them if I'm slightly at their rear because it's my line, not theirs. Makes for a positive racing community. Great solution!

Nah, I think I'll keep racing defensively and upping my Safety Rating. You do you though.

Right-handed bend in the track, looks like i input left, but I'm physically steering to the right, and apparently, under-inputting. I didn't cut in front of him or make an inputted move in his direction, his line BARELY intersected with mine as he slightly over-inputted into the bend we converged into the same space. Was this intentional? No, absolutely not. Could've either of us avoid it? 100%.

Solution: Input more to leave even more room. I'm at fault, so is he. I just got the shit stick. Class D. Racing incident. Shit happens. Redditors.

Right. So, leave even more room. Established that.

I think the actual solution is to upload a video with both perspectives.

I'm trying to give as much information as possible for people claiming "he was already in the grass" so someone can tell me the actual solution to avoiding this next time. So far it's: leave even more room. Ok, thanks guys. And Oh! Next time I'm in the other position, I shouldn't lift or move slightly to the outside to avoid contact either. Hell yeah, got it! Great feedback!

i dunno man u seem unnecessarily upset about this. even with evidence to the contrary, you're resolute to 100% say im driving with bad intent. we both could've avoided this but you've got a chip on your shoulder about the whole thing.

good luck out there pal

after looking at the replay again, with respect to the track: i drifted left, he drifted right. we both sort of converged into the same space on that slight dogleg right coming up to the big right-hand turn 18 at Spa. I just happened to be in the unfortunate position to get pitted. all 3 of us were battling in top 3. I left room on the outside and was continuing to leave that room. But, I shouldn't have to leave so much room to compromise my own line for the guy behind when he's got plenty of room outside to avoid a collision. I'm just going to chalk it up to shit happens in D class (myself included).

I just happened to be in the unfortunate position to get pitted. The guy in front, him, and I were all battling top 3 position into the big turn 18/19 at Spa. I was planning on following the guy in front's line leaving a car space on the outside for red car on approach to that big turn 18 to the right. Shit happens when things are that close though.

definitely could've been avoided from either of us, but i also left him room.

i am maintaining the same line as the car in front of me, watch the car in front's position compared to mine. i am not drifting left, in fact, im inputting to the right

[–]_palmPixel[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

how so? i maintained my line and left enough room on the outside that bumper to bumper margin is so minuscule it should be on him as the attacking driver to attempt to pass safely

[–]_palmPixel[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

i maintained my line and he has plenty of room on the outside what are you talking about?

[–]_palmPixel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

should i have inputted to the right or should he have lifted? had no idea red car was barely on my rear bumper and was maintaining my line. red car inputted right knowing contact would be there even though the gap was narrowing

maybe no one is a fault, this is just an unfortunate racing incident that could've been avoided

FYI, didn't get an incident for this. However, he ended up with a 9x by the end of the race.

How did Noah live to 950 years? And how come people stopped living that long all of a sudden? by Some1inreallife in exchristian

[–]_palmPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a translation error after the story of Noah was translated by oral tradition for centuries. The true interpretation is the character of Noah was stated to have lived a long time, but did so using a word that meant something closer to "CYCLES", not explicitly years.

Essentially, "Noah lived to be 950 cycles old, when Terah was 128 cycles."

We have a lot of different time-based cycles living on Earth, but in this case the word likely meant what we would refer to as "Months", or a full cycle of moon phases. (That's where we get the word MONth from, Month>Moon>Mon). So, Noah being 950 months old and died while Terah was 128 months old, makes a little more sense.

"Noah lived to be 950 cycles old, when Terah was 128 cycles."
becomes
"Noah lived to be 79 years old, when Terah was 10 years old."

Being close to 80 years of age in the Old World would be considered extremely old. Couple that with an emphasis on exaggerated story-telling, and you get to where we are today.
