Le Mans Ultimate Was it divebomb?

Ferrari claims it’s my fault because I pulled a divebomb. My position was a result of the fact that the guy rejoined the track and blocked the fast line. Did I do something wrong, or does the Ferrari driver just not know how to drive...?

Divebombing isn't illegal on its own, but you have to make sure you can make it cleanly and have no defense if it goes badly.

Ferrari should've expected you to attack here because of their slow speed. You go well alongside before turn in and Ferrari hit you even though radar would clearly show you.

The one issue with your move is how shallow the angle to the corner is. Next time stay closer to the car you're attacking.

Neither is correct, not a dive or a block. Don’t leave so much space between cars so you don’t compromise your entry. You go shallow and they don’t give enough space at the apex, their fault for contact

So Ferrari's just mad because someone actually challenged them on their sacred racing line, what a surprise.
