Is penalty for passing outside of track justified for me here?

It was last lap. On last turn he kinda blocked me of (little bumb) which made me unable to turn along my line and had to go off track which got me a penalty.

We can't keep letting drivers like this drive in Gold SR dailys. Will LMU do something? Some of the things he said post-race include "it's just a game", "it's just a daily", "a little contact is fun, i had fun", "i changed lines in straigh to get a boost" and the best "that's how i race irl".

I got a taste of the way this guy is defending early on in the race and later I was seeing him harassing both Hypers and GT3s while I was behind. Last lap he makes a mistake rejoins the track unsafely and then proceeds to change lines 6-7 times in the straight. Incident in the end is a racing incident probably? His reaction though post-race and ignorance of his driving behaviour is the main issue. Not only that but his race was full of red incidents and he only got 1 SR down while I got 1 SR up and 1 DR down because of the incident. Isn't LMU going to do something about these drivers?

Three cars into the Bus Stop at Watkins Glen — who caused this pileup?

Lap 21 at Watkins Glen. Ashton closes hard on Steezy through the braking zone into the Bus Stop chicane and initiates contact. Phantom is right behind them, close-following, and makes secondary contact — reactionary, but part of the chain. All three end up in a pileup.

Two ways to see it:

  • The initiator: Ashton rode the leader's bumper all the way down the stretch and dive-bombed the chicane. He's the clear cause.
  • The contributor: Phantom arrived too hot and should have lifted earlier — he didn't start it, but he's part of why it got big.

The wrinkle: Ashton had a completely clean record and the ruling was AI-assisted — his team argued a first offense should have been a warning, not points.

Our league: Ashton 2 points reduced to 1 on appeal; Phantom a formal warning.

So — who was at fault? The initiator, the contributor, or is it shared?

(From MNRL — Monday Night Racing League, a PS5 NASCAR league. Curious how you'd split this one.)

VC put partial blame on the McLaren, but others put blame on the POV Vcarb, Who do you think it was... we cant decide.

Is the intentional wreck justified or reckless?

Im not going to say who i am until people respond, as that normally makes people biased and i'd rather have this be fair. Anyways im sorry i had to speed the video up so much, the resolution of the video was really high and i had trouble keeping the video withn 1 gb but i didnt leave any of the drama out, everything that happened was in the video.

Should I have given more space?

I’m the first pov car. I guess I’m not really sure what the rules are on divebombs. The other driver wasn’t anywhere near me and even went into the grass to try and divebomb me, plus I couldn’t really give any space because of the car on the left. Should I have done something different or is this on the other driver. Just trying to get better. Thanks!

Was this my fault? (Red Corvette)

This was like halfway through a 30 minute hosted race which was my first time using the corvette and I had the lead the entire first half of the race. This guy was I believe slightly faster than me and was trying to get past me for the previous lap and had made some mistakes along the way however all was well. On this occasion he was right behind me for the esses and I believe got a run during them. While I was lining up my car (the red corvette) for the dip I realized at the apex he had somehow got along side. I tried to give him room once I realized and I got hit and spun, I didn’t feel like it was his fault but I do sort of feel bad because it seems like I kinda pushed him off track to causing a lack of grip. Was this my fault?

Curious if this is a racing incident, the bmw not leaving space, or me being too aggressive? (I’m the AMG)

I’m relatively new to sim racing and lack experience on these kind of calls. Any tips on preventing this in the future?

Who’s fault is it?

This is pcup Sebring. I am the pink car on the inside. I am not sure about this one. Looking back at it, i guess i could have braked to let him go but with the inside line, his car was out of my pov.

I am thinking with the line he’s taking, he would converge to my line sooner or later. He could have also left some space on the inside but overall not sure. Maybe a racing incident?
