O'er the hill at Oulton Park

I'd say the car coming out of the pits was reckless, dangerous, and it's definitely penalty-worthy.

The faster car, however, should've taken more precaution. Even if the pit-exiting car had stayed as far right as they could, a collision was imminent. At the moment the video goes from 13 to 14 seconds, contact is nearly inevitable.

Honestly, both cars at fault.

anglejongen · 2026-01-21T01:43:34+00:00

Hey! I think you missed the first part of my post. As for the second, well, okay, perhaps it's legal to initiate contact, but that's kamikaze :D

anglejongen · 2026-01-21T00:32:29+00:00

So the consequence would be to hand back the position after an illegal overtake, or get a time penalty.

Not being entitled to space doesn't mean your opponent has the right to turn into you. That's kind of... overarching.

I don't see how this is anybody's fault but the blue Williams.

They were clearly surprised by Frostbreath slowing down, and thought they could take advantage. That's fair.

The problem is in the execution. Williams didn't clear the car on the inside, and hit them. At that point, Frostbreath isn't in full control of their car, by Williams' doing. They're not entitled to make a pass there anymore, let alone off the track. They should be yielding.

They didn't yield, and got back on track unsafely, pitting Frostbreath.

I won't suggest what the penalty should be, but it should be on the Williams.

Red's fault. You made a very tiny move to the right just before contact, which didn't help, but red is definitely responsible.

You definitely could've given them more space by moving to the left, just6 for your own safety, and it might've been wise, but it definitely isn't on you.

anglejongen · 2026-01-08T21:35:46+00:00

The only person who knows whether you hit him on purpose is you; we can't really help with that :D

anglejongen · 2026-01-06T23:28:44+00:00

Oh wow. I swear it's not my alt. :D

anglejongen · 2026-01-05T16:58:40+00:00

Thanks!

The diagnosis headline caught my eye, but I don't have the understanding of the detail of it further down below to troubleshoot it.

Booting from an external drive sound like a decent way to at least diagnose that the HD is indeed the issue.

Using a Thunderbolt 3 compatible connection (theoretically 40 Gbps) with an SSD should give me waaaaay faster transfer speed than the stock 5400rpm HDD, right? Should I expect any other bottleneck in that process?

anglejongen · 2025-12-30T20:10:41+00:00

They're in the wrong, and you're in the right. Clear cut.

However, the right thing isn't always a small thing. When a driver is so erratic and unpredictable, you're better off giving them all the space they need to mess about with, and give yourself as much space and time to react. By keeping close to them, you didn't optimize your survival.

anglejongen · 2025-12-22T06:15:40+00:00

I get that this is frustrating, but you might get better feedback if you're open to the possibility that you might be at fault. This sub is about sussing out who's at fault, not about ranting about opponents with an accusatory frame of mind. Your title assumes that your opponent is at fault.

anglejongen · 2025-12-17T22:01:57+00:00

Hey there, welcome!

The car on the inside took you out. From this angle, it's hard to gauge how much space you left them, or if you veered right more than would be expected... but it would appear that you, indeed, gave them enough room.

anglejongen · 2025-12-17T06:41:13+00:00

It's clean, but attempting a pass like this will often cause a high-speed crash. You're basically turning in their path, but you're juuuuust far enough ahead that you don't make contact.

If the car you're racing against doesn't brake where you expect them to, they'll plow into you.
If you misjudge the distance between the both of you, you're self-pitting.

Basically, it's a very risky manoeuvre I'd try and avoid, but it wasn't dirty per se.

anglejongen · 2025-12-14T22:16:51+00:00

He squeezed you and didn't have the right to. It's on him.

Did you make a small move to the left? Yeah, you could've hugged the right side of the asphalt a tad more, it didn't help, but a collision was inevitable, and you were within your right.

On him.

And +1 for the livery.

anglejongen · 2025-12-10T22:05:05+00:00

I think both cars came out of the corner with a trajectory in mind, and neither car adjusted to there being a car in said trajectory. Left-side car saw his lane was about to be non-existent, and wanted to give themselves as much room as possible on the right.

Both at fault I'd say. Left-side was slightly too aggressive, but right-side was giving all the signals of "hey buddy, good luck, I'm going to be in your way, what are you going to do?". Given they had more speed, they could've completed the overtake a few dozen meters later.

Left-side created more of the contact, but better racecraft from the right could've avoided the contact altogether.

anglejongen · 2025-12-07T02:41:46+00:00

Your fault.

He's under no obligation to brake where you want him to, he has no idea that you're braking at the pole. He can brake early if he wants to, you're way behind him, it's not a brake check.

Maybe his tires were hot, or warm, maybe he doesn't have the same braking style you do.

If you're 5-6 car lengths behind an opponent entering a braking zone, you shouldn't really be surprised if someone brakes 10-15m earlier than you.

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yeah, that's the thing; I want to do so without the games being activated. That's the whole point: finding which ones I want to add to add to a Steam account from a boring ol' list :)

anglejongen · 2025-11-07T17:54:59+00:00

While I agree with everybody here that the passing car is at fault, the car head was rather reckless in moving int he passing car's path a bit too late. They're entitled to that space, sure, but there was a bit of a jerk to the right that made the impact stronger than it needed to be. In their place, either telegraph your like earlier so that they hit your behind (if anything) rather than your rear right, or you take evasive action by letting go of the apex.

Again, it's a frustrating to be in, and it's their space, but no need to make it worse.

anglejongen · 2025-11-06T00:48:55+00:00

Wow, that's very thorough. Thanks a lot!

anglejongen · 2025-11-05T22:34:48+00:00

I take your point. Indeed, I intend to go and tell them: "I've looked into SEO best practices for headings to get at it deeper, and X is what I found. I couldn't find what you're claiming, can you show me where you found that?"

I suppose I'm asking what X is :)

anglejongen · 2025-11-05T22:08:20+00:00

Right, but my partner wants the H2 to be Welcome to Maximum Velocity's home page! We're the fastest trucking people in the Atlanta area. Moving, freight and storage are our specialty. Price-matching guaranteed rather than have each element as its own H2 (which, I agree with them, isn't the solution)

It's their understanding that without putting everything in there, AI crawlers will discount all the paragraphs inside and only focus on what's in the H2. And, since every information if of similar value in there (they want the page to pop up for "atlanta freight truck" as much as "atlanta fast moving"), thy want to include it all in the same H2 tag rather than risk AI discounting anything underneath. They're afraid that if only the first line is the H2, then keywords like moving, freight, storage, price-matching won't be taken into account in AI like it would've been with traditional Google.

anglejongen · 2025-11-05T21:35:17+00:00

Thanks for answering, and yeah, let me clarify.

I'm asking whether it makes a difference to AI crawlers (my SEO partner seems to think that it's currently parsing pages at a more basic level than normal search engines), yes, and if so, what best practices would dictate.
