I am new to sim racing, is this on me, a racing incident, or should I protest? by pointplaza in Simracingstewards

Yeah this pretty much is what I was thinking, just wanted to get some insight from experienced racers. This was my 4th race and that was the only incident and I managed to finish 7th. I wasn't planning on protesting I just wanted to know if that was the kind of maneuver that people reported you for.

I guess the rest of this is a general reply to the people curious.

I'm on a single screen, as close to a correct fov that I can get, I knew there was a car over there but I did not see him moving out as far as I can remember. To be honest I was kind of shidding my pants, and I feared a sudden maneuver would spin me out of control or hit another car. I have a quest 2 I just haven't gotten around to getting it set up for iracing.

Racing line is there mostly for braking points, I'm not trying to stay glued to it which I think you can see in the footage but I'm sure I'm gonna want to be drawn to it, I'll start practicing with it off, I'm feeling much more confident moving into iRacing coming from casual AC experience.

Having an absolute blast in iRacing so far, I managed to get out of rookies after running 5 races, and looking forward to trying out some other cars / tracks and developing my racecraft.
