1.) the swerving: the white car dove low causing, the blue car, who was already in the middle to block. The white car moved back to the traditional line, but with the blue car again blocking by moving back to his middle on the road line, reopened the inside. Felt like the white car then tried to bait the blue car by the quick juke to the inside then outside of the blue car.
2.) nothing to say about the banky banks. Nailed it perfectly. The blue car had a bad angle into the corner which caused him to scrub some speed. Allowing the white car to take advantage and get up alongside.
3.) the left. Before reaching the corner. The blue car ran the white car out toward the track edge. Not dangerous, not necessarily dirty, but very aggressive. Entering the corner, the blue car had the inside with the white car on his rear quarter panel. Totally fine. They had some bumping. But this race was very much like a touring car race and bumping from close racing was aplenty. On exit, similar running of the white car wide. But again, it’s okay. Close hard racing.
4.) the right. The corner in question. The blue car had the advantage of being on the inside of the left. But the disadvantage of not being able to completely have his line on exit. Ultimately he was unable to clear the white car and had to take a wide entry into the corner. Some contact was made and the blue car goes sailing.
5.) verdict. It’s a racing incident. I don’t see anything malicious. A bump is a bump.
We can all say in hindsight you should’ve backed off, but I know that feeling.
@Groundfish knows that feeling. You have a run and throwing everything at the lead. And what is usually an innocent incident caused one to crash. So what. It’s racing. Have a beer (or coffee), light up a smoke, and be proud you at least didn’t let up.
