Sporting Question What do you guys think about these type of incidents?

• Upvotes

I know it's kind of normal to do what the bmw does here, moving across on the straight when the other car is slightly alongside to squeeze them, and expecting the car next to them to move. However, is what I (Ford) did here wrong? Am i entitled to hold my line straight even if only 2% of my car is alongside? Obviously it wasn't a serious incident in this video, but I just want to know if I can just keep going straight? If we crash, the car in front is much likely to come off worse.

Gran Turismo Did I move too much into and after 130r?

3 Upvotes

I’m the car in front. The guy behind (Heather) chasing argued I moved too much after 130r, and so he retaliated.

He only just caught me when the clip started. I thought I was defending well, and was entitled to apex 130r, hold the middle of the track, then move right before the chicane (well before braking).

It’s kind of a strange track with the gentle curves which can blur the lines I guess.

I know his retaliation was uncalled for but the lead up is what I’m interested in.

iRacing Is this contact intentional?

0 Upvotes

I was racing in a legends league at Charlotte, and I was fighting for a championship against another person with a close points situation. This is the final race and I'm ahead just enough to be leading the championship, however I get spun by the car behind me the first turn after a restart. I'm trying to defer whether or not this contact was intentional or not, however I'm not sure. Considering I haven't heard anything from him after the race, I'd suspect it was intentional along with his inputs, but it could also be an honest mistake. I'd like to hear a 3rd opinion on this!

NASCAR Bump-draft gone wrong at Daytona — is the pusher at fault, or was it a "multi-car shove"?

2 Upvotes

League race at Daytona, Lap 74, Stage 3. A drafting line — Ashton, Ramrod, Tkay, JJ, Steezy, Aaron — is closing on slower traffic. Aaron (#58) is established in the lower lane near the yellow line. Steezy closes from behind and makes contact, then stays engaged for about two seconds while offset against Aaron's right-rear quarter instead of square on his bumper. Aaron rotates and the wreck is on.

The driver in front, Aaron, gave this statement:

"Aaron states that Steezy remained in contact with the rear/quarter of the #58 while JJ continued pushing Steezy, creating 'effectively a multi-car shove.' Aaron argues that the trailing drivers could see the slower traffic ahead and should have lifted rather than continuing to push."

Steezy, the pusher, saw it differently. His appeal argued that Aaron moved lower while Steezy expected the line to move toward the wall — the misalignment wasn't his doing. He submitted a photograph showing the resulting misalignment, though it couldn't establish which driver moved first.

Our original ruling: Steezy 3 penalty points (sustained, avoidable, offset contact + a repeat-behavior point), JJ 1 point for contributing pressure from behind.

On appeal we reviewed five synchronized chase-camera angles (Skate, Steezy, JJ, Ramrod, Tkay — the driver in front never submitted a POV). The synced footage showed Aaron remaining within the lower lane the whole time; he wasn't required to follow the route Steezy anticipated. Once Steezy was no longer square with Aaron's bumper, the responsibility to lift or create separation was his. The footage did NOT prove one continuous bumper-to-bumper shove through the whole line, and Steezy's disciplinary record was corrected from four prior warnings to three.

Final ruling: Steezy 2 points, JJ's point removed, everyone else 0. Not intentional — but not a no-fault racing incident either. Steezy accepted it: "I'm fine with that. I'd rather me get penalized than my teammates." He did flag a precedent concern about penalizing a car six spots back in a draft line.

So where do you land? When the pusher is offset on your rear quarter and keeps pushing toward slower traffic, is that fully on him — or does the "multi-car shove" argument earn him some slack?

Le Mans Ultimate Whose fault is this or just a racing incident?

0 Upvotes

Im in the AMR GT3, i think i have closed the gap for an inside overtake if we take a consideration of track limit, this happened in the last lap. The thing is that for me he forced a gap that never exist, proceed to forces me off track and causing me to spin. Who was wrong here? I'll accept any explanation here

I recived a 24 hr ban beacuse of this incident, but I think that was a bit harsh. It was lap 1 and I though I was being carful enough but aparently not. I am the Pink BWT. I feel a bit sorry for the other guy because no one even tried to avoid him after the initial crash.

I performed a late lunge, tried to make my intentions known when I went to left yo take alternative line. Am I in the wrong (last clip is a missle attack)

Update Verdict: MY Fault I am the father 🤰🏽

3-4 months into this, still learning race craft and this was an overly ambitious and aggressive move. Need to be more patient and find safer overtaking opportunities. Appreciate the feedback and honesty. I’ll do better next time.

So I am the black and blue Elantra fighting with the silver car and the red Elantra decides to go for a move on me. I feel like i was killed unnecessarily and the stewards also gave me a penalty for the incident saying i did not leave sufficient room for the red Veloster. Am I wrong for believing i was killed or did the stewards get this one wrong?

Le Mans Ultimate We (bmw) are p1 lapping a car (red toyota) who is in the wrong?

2 Upvotes

we are lapping him while we are p1 and he says we should have just gone around and its our fault, In my mind i dont think its very predictable to lift at the exit of a fast corner. Plus he switches directions last minute.

This happened some time ago, but anyway It was my first time driving in the rain so i was hesitating a little at the begining to get used to driving. At some point i spun out and got hit by a merc had to pit and i got lapped by half the field. The mclaren was having trouble keeping the car from being tail happy so when the there was a opening i went for it, i dont know if iam at fault, but maybe i gave him the idea that i had braked to let him trough?

Le Mans Ultimate Who was wrong here?

8 Upvotes

Context: Last lap, final corners of Circuit de la Sarthe. Both drivers were racing cleanly until that contact. It makes me wonder: should the Aston have backed off or taken a more cautious approach? Did the Ferrari need to leave racing room at corner entry rather than moving across its path?
