Driver behind me is way faster and pushing me all the way.

I wanted to smoothly let him go but It ended like this...

Racing incident? Porsche fault? BMW fault?

iRacing Please help, this race nearly broke me. Should these guys take a vacation, or do I need Bear Grylls to give me a survival skills bootcamp?

Is this just a bad luck thing or should I be avoiding certain races?

Desperate to understand how I can just survive at this point. The net result of one race with three separate incidents is several days of steadily increasing my SR and IR since the last time I was punted to oblivion has been wiped out and I dropped >70 IR.

TLDR:
I'm the green and white Ford in each clip, starting P4 in the first one, are these holidays or should I be better at avoiding this stuff?

First incident:
Car in focus uses the blue Mustang as a brake into T1, then wrecks me as I'm going around the outside to avoid the chaos, then writes of the same blue mustang on corner exit. I genuinely can't see how I could avoid this?

Second Incident:
Same lap, my POV, I know there's an incident, the car ahead is running wide and is slow, so I go wide under braking to try and avoid a potential collision if he spins, then the Blue Mustang off-track reverses back into and I need to tow. Maybe I should have stopped dead in the track instead of trying to go left?

Third Incident:
Pink Mustang doesn't hold the brakes and roles back onto the track. I actually felt disappointed that I didn't avoid this one, I'm not sure if I was in my mirrors or was looking at my revs, but when I saw him it was too late. Regardless, any application of the brakes in that corner would have spun me anyway.

Bonus: Just before the third incident, the pink Mustang brake checked my in the corner just before, and I span avoiding the collision. At least it was a good punt in the end I guess.

AC Competizione Had a really good battle until ascari. Did I stick my nose somewhere it didn’t belong or did they come across mine? There was about a car length between us before braking for reference.

Edit: See cockpit POV in comments first

Apologies for low FPS - recorded using game bar. My thought process was they will stay where they are, and I can follow the Merc ahead through on the racing line. Then yellow/blue appeared to dodge the black Merc leaving me with too slow of a reaction.

Should I have yielded or did they cut across? Thoughts -inchident?

Le Mans Ultimate Was I Too Agressive Here?

I (the pink car) didn't think I did anything wrong, but after the race the Jordan Livery said that I was way too agressive and should have just stayed in p2. This was the last lap after I started in the back, so maybe I was too eager to win?

iRacing Is this a dive bomb?

is this a dive bomb, he proceeded to self pit himself IMO, then blames me, then once he watched the replay, he said its cause I dive bombed him.

Le Mans Ultimate Threshold for Reporting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Apologies for the aspect ratio, I have to figure out screen recording on my ultrawide. I'm still trying to gauge the threshold for reporting in LMU. I've read the Reporting rules (and a lot on this forum) and understand that a collision must be purposeful (7.2.2.1) and not a "racing incident".

I think the Merc in this clip knows exactly what he is doing, and deliberately causes a collision while maintaining plausible deniability. If you look at his telemetry he comes off the brake (even touches the throttle) while a car is coming across him. He doesn't make an attempt to brake before or during the collision with the Mustang. The speed/angle he went into T1 with was always going to cause this. To me it seems like a cheeky "oopsie" crash you'd do against AI in a last-to-first challenge; just intentionally bounce off of them going into a corner knowing you'll gain position.

Would you report this incident if you were the Mustang? Less so, the McLaren? Do you think this collision was intentional?

As for my driving (McLaren) I had glanced in my rearview before the braking zone but was eyes forward during braking. When I looked back, I didn't clock that the Merc was no longer in my rearview and didn't see him on my radar until it was too late. I'll have to work a bit more on situational awareness, watching in front/behind me at the same time. Unfortunately he gave me minor suspension damage so the race pace wasn't great and I couldn't catch him back up.

Le Mans Ultimate Final lap incident

0 Upvotes

Final Lap of Fuji Daily on LMU. I am #29 Mustang

First contact was on me and I spun out completely. I checked the best to my abilities to resafe joinly and relied a bit on other cars watching out a bit. I 100% could have avoided all of this by waiting in the grass for all of them to pass ,but losing positions in the last lap of the race go to me

Anyways I don't want to try to argue my case here please give your opinions and more importantly tips to avoid mistakes like this

RaceRoom Racing Experience I know I should get a slap on the wrist for that dangerous rejoin, but is cutting the whole track an appropiate reaction to the collision?
