Very respectful racing all round. Honestly it looks and probably was you trying to take the widest line and they were there. In the moment in the busy phase it all gets complicated.

Nobody did anything malicious or wrong.

I just don’t think that was the place to try anything, it makes it slow and complex/messy. You were much faster and there are more definitive passing places.

Just my 2p/2c

Edit:

Watching back a bit slower and considered it looks like you kept trying to get the wider line and rear ended someone.

I think this is one of the prime examples of visual drift and honestly a symptom of why we all feel race craft is poor because decision making isn’t good. Side by side in the fastest part of the track? While the front pack drives away?

The cars in front are all bunched, so are going to have to brake earlier. This is not a sign of weakness or opportunity….its just how the race is playing out.

Not at you Neville but man this is most of the problem is that there is zero appreciation of the actual race just positions.

At you Neville you have big boy pants, this is all cool (but a bad idea) and you rear end a person. That is on you, the brake is always there.
It's not as it seems. The Beetle is underpowered, I got a run onto the the esses and judged it about right to make a straight-forward pass up the inside in the 2nd best passing spot on the track. I got almost too good a run but if I lift I lose momentum so had to make it work around the outside of the final turn before the braking zone. I leave plenty of room but he gets a bit of a wobble and tags me, from there I keep my wheel straight but seems i was not aimed square so possibly drifted a mm to the left (it is hard to tell but playing devil's advocate).

It's here where you get it all wrong. The next series of contact leaves me unstable, the car get a bit of air, bit loose out back and I shoot long but I am a passenger at that point. This was hardly the desperation move you make it sound, there's basically 3 solid passing spots on this track and this is as good as any of them.

Regardless, fact remains, both replays look different and that is weird as per @cyirush experience.

I just noticed something, watch the white line that frames the track to the left of my competitor, in both POV he drifts twice from near that line to the right and back again so I think we both sort of accidently merge a bit.

Think race, not places.

If we ignore the better line you still rear ended a car?

Come on, where was your head at? Probably busy with trying to pass the car that honestly I’d of tucked in behind with everyone so close.

There was nothing wrong in any of those replays, just arguably leaving it in and him not conceding BUT you rear ended a car quite a long way in front….please realise that the bigger issue is not you racing someone but that you are so focused on that battle you hit a car for no other reason than you were worried about your position rather than the whole race happening around and in front of you.

Be a better faster driver, you can’t call out replays and the most mediocre of taps when you rear end someone not involved in your battle and a fair bit down the road. Rationalise for godsake.

They don’t to be absolutely honest, just lobby lag and clumsy driving there is nothing weird about them.

Again you rear ended someone and navigated the issues, if anything in both cameras it look like you cut back in to their rear quarter going by…I doubt by their driving style they wanted to PITT themselves…

I was at his rear axle and had the inside line before we hit the deep braking zone in the best Group 3 car in the game for braking and making an apex. If you don't pass there you're just circulating not racing. If we don't make contact I execute the pass cleanly and the contact was accidently initiated by the other guy as he got a wobble on turning left.

ALso I never "made the pass rear ending someone", I held position and got a 5 second penalty (total time loss).

No, you need compliance from that car to take the wider line….

It doesn’t matter what group of cars a commitment of the overtake has to be clear and concise.

You hit the deep braking zone when those in front were racing their race which was to be conservative, you came from a long way back to make the move ignoring the race in front of you and rear ended a car?

You do see why the “moment” you have an issue with spilled in to a moment for another driver.

We can talk about axles and position but it was just the slowest way to go up the hill, with nobody clearly ahead so it’s a game of chicken and you hit a car in front…..by a fairly long way who’d braked at the right place to not hit cars infront?

I don’t know how else to be honest and candid but also friendly, racing gets complicated in complicated places on a track, it slows everyone down. Rear ending a car with way more force that some side banging is not cool, it means you “don’t have your car” and that is not fun to race with.

I’m on the receiving end of these sort of incidents, and it boils my piss when it was someone else over trying and not braking reasonably.

Just not good thinking from you or him but you ran in to the back of someone???
 
My move around the outside was clean, no contact, i left him room later into the final turn and he drifted well wide of the white line he was hugging. He unsettled my car, I miss my apex as the car gets light from the contact. No idea how that's on me and reminder the only loser from this situation was me, no one else lost a spot.

TBH I think you need a break from the daily races as you never seem to enjoy them.

The move was fine, it all got a bit clumsy as is the lag.

You rear ended a car executing the pass which the the other car was still battling for? Correct me if I’m wrong?

Don’t confuse my desire for better standards for not enjoying my 6000 races bud.

I expect better from myself and others. I enjoy them and do them week in and week out, to a very good pace and standard, doesn’t mean I don’t question myself or others. It’s how we improve.
 
I didn't hit anyone executing the pass, by the point of braking I was just trying to hang onto it bevause despite giving my man two full car widths he drifted I to my space. Its really that simple. I did not squeeze him amd had a legit run up the inside with ample room in front of me if I could have grabbed the brake on time rather than feverishly trying to save it.
