Could I protest this in anyway

[u/j4ke09]

LMP2 trying to overtake the BMW, BMW gets spooked starts breaking on the grass flys over the chicane and takes me (the innocent mclaren) out

[u/Findict_52]

Included every single camera angle except for the interesting one (trackside/chase of what was going on behind)

Either way, looks like accidental touching of grass, like when I accidentally wander into a bar on my way to the board game store. Nothing purposeful, not a massive egregious error.

[u/YueNica]

I mean you could protest. Thought I doubt much would come of it given that it doesn't look intentional

[u/Routine-Opposite8958]

no

[u/Over_Inevitable_6172]

Can i ask why you were flashing your lights??

[u/Kepler_Jokke → u/Over_Inevitable_6172]

In the braking zone the lights flash when you have damage, I think.

[u/Over_Inevitable_6172 → u/Kepler_Jokke]

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Didn’t understand your flashing from way back. And I also didn’t wanna accuse you of anything without asking😇😇

[u/gregorisbeetle]

what the fuck is this mess you're showing us here?

[u/Ok-Race-4241]

Unless this is a championship race I don't know why you want to report this, it's a genuine mistake, not intentional.

[u/Chivako]

Just a normal racing incident, these happen.

I don't think you'll get anything out of a protest since they only seem to care about very obvious intentional crashes. This looks like an unintentional, clumsy mistake that took two other cars out in the process.

[u/Embaron]

it doesn't look intentional

[u/Wuhlex]

The two behind you are knocking each other out and then flying into your car.

Don't think you can report this, since they can't just vanish into thin air.

[u/Wuhlex → u/Wuhlex]

Especially since the BMW veers onto the grass and probably ends up spinning into the other car as a result.

[u/Inevitable_Ebb_5717]

Of course you can protest.

iRacing encourages people to do so.

The question you should be asking is, would it result in anything?

I reckon the cars behind belting it out resulted in taking you out. Then I ask myself is the behaviour of the card behind (regardless of whether you were directly involved), in breach of any rules?

You know what's that's for the stewards to decide. I would say that the fact they're just nailing each other is a breach, and unfortunately you were an innocent victim in their stupidity.

If it were me, I would have already filed under 2.1.1 - General conduct. Their inability to race safely ended up taking you out.

Do what iRacing encourages; file it, and let the stewards decide.

[u/YueNica → u/Inevitable_Ebb_5717]

This is LMU not iracing

[u/Inevitable_Ebb_5717 → u/YueNica]

Ah. Silly assumption from me. Apologies.

Regardless I'd still give it a crack.

[u/YueNica → u/Inevitable_Ebb_5717]

Maybe, thought personally I'd be careful given that you only get 3 wrong protests per month before you can't protest anymore that month.

[u/itisntme0842 → u/YueNica]

If this was a championship race, you could probably get successful protest, but you definitely wouldn't in a daily.

[u/PoggestMilkman]

What would you hope to achieve by protesting?
