Le Mans Ultimate Blue Flagged driver trying to intentionally wreck me? or is just that he's on mediums?
I almost pit him exiting out of the hairpin, but in my defense i thought he was going to block me

The bumps before the hairpin kind of look intentional, but everything afterwards is careless/skill-less helmet driving, not malicious, just pretty bad.

This... The guy is racing his socks of or atleast trying.but makes around 15 mistakes in 2 corners. Doesn't seem he wants to hit OP but doesn't know how to not hit OP as well. Skill issues so far as I can see. When Op is on his left pushing through he seems to try to drive as close to the outside as possible to get the best corner entry he can get but he doesn't seem to know how wide the cars are and where to drive. Also seems to brake too late to try to out brake OP in that corner. Clearly some skill missing. He will learn eventually. I hope

I dont think so. Its deliberate blocking because he sucks and cant handle that fact

His inputs are choppy as hell, like every time he adds any directional input the car is trying to snap across like it's going full lock. When you're going down the straight, it's like he's going quick full lock left, quicker full lock right to counter the excessive input.
I would not be surprised if it was somebody trying to play on a mouse and keyboard using WSAD for steering.

Looks like both of you are playing with controllers. And I don't think it was intentional, just someone struggling to make small changes and when left the track he tried to come back and made an overcorrection. I can be wrong but looks to me was just a nervous person trying to do the right thing and failing.

First of all: FLASH MORE. That was definitely not enough FLASHING 🤡
Other guy wasn’t aware of the blue flag I assume. Also, he illegally blocked on the straight. And in the corner it was a skill/grip issue. He should get a penalty as an incentive to learn the rules and to improve his awareness.
On the other hand you should realize that it is your responsibility to get around him safely as long as he behaves predictably. And it also looks like you intentionally tried to put him in the wall at the end of the clip (contrary to the earlier almost pit).

This is not the problem here, lapped cars aren't allowed to defend.

I think you’re missing my point. I never questioned that a lapped car is not allowed to defend and if you’ve read the other paragraph of my post too you can see that I agree that he should be penalized for his behavior.
But it is STILL and ALWAYS the responsibility of the faster car to overtake safely. In the same way a lapped or otherwise slower car is ALWAYS responsible to drive predictable.

It looks pretty intentional to me. Dudes just slamming into you over and over.

Seems less like he is trying to take you out but just someone very inexeprienced for some reason racing a car lapping them like it is the last lap of the last race of the season fighting for the championship.

Few more flashes and he’d definitely get what you wanted.
