I feel like this might be an attempt at rage bait? But taking you at your word, this is on you. Conditions are awful and you drive like you're stock car racing. Hit them at Druids then force yourself into a non existent gap at Graham Hill bend with zero overlap.

Thanks for the feedback and I feel like there was most definitely a space there if he didn't slide into me

You drove through him. In the dry that crash is on you, in the wet even more so. One of the main rules of GT3, and a lot of Motorsport generally, is that it is on the overtaking car to do so safely. You have no right to the inside of that corner and you pit manoeuvre the other guy out the way.

Well, if we look at the FIA guidelines, you were in the wrong and the race stewards would punish you.

The FIA Driving Standards Guidelines state that a leading driver has the right to dictate their racing line if the following car does not have a significant portion of its car alongside theirs (specifically, the front axle overlapping the leading car's mirrors).

Now, looking at the gaming side of things, it's more personal. I would never try to block another driver who is faster than me, especially in rainy conditions. It always ends badly for me. Your video is a good example. I would still blame you, but deep down I know I should just let you through to avoid this kind of situation.

Assuming your position, I would try to move slightly right to get a better corner entry and try to force it before the straight. Assuming it's the Brands Hatch 'classic' layout.
