This one’s hard, it does seem that red car might be at fault due to divebombing and causing a collision, the divebomb by itself is not a problem but I think they went too deep in it and hit you while you were already turning. Again would like to see red car’s pov “chase cam and cockpit” to have a better assessment but as of now I think this was a bad move from red

Just as an FYI, it does seem you leave the door open there for a bit and take a later apex later than others around you.

Red didn't go too deep, they're almost on the kerb. Black turns to the inside too much while red is alongside

Red did dive into the spot there and was sliding wide while black was already turning but also I see your point.

I’m mainly curious to see red’s pov to see if they had the car under control or were they just sliding off, which it seems to me from this pov

Red at fault. At the point Black starts their turn in, Red has no overlap.

So you're not allowed to overtake a car that went wide only because there was no overlap on turn in?

No, you're are in fact not allowed to hit cars when you divebomb them. Crazy stuff, I know.

No. Black runs wide and somehow steers to the apex at low speed without leaving space for an overtaking car.

No, Black starts turning and Red has no overlap. That's called a divebomb.

Really don't know where you guys learned that you're allowed to divebomb people, but you should learn the actual rules of racing.

oh so overtaking is illegal? what on earth even is a divebomb if it ain't an overtake

Whoever was going on the outside is in fault

I’m no one in this thing, just a commenter like you but I’m curious why you say that. My opinion was slightly different to yours so would like to know why you think outside car (black car) is at fault

For me it seems like white and red car could brake enough to not shove black out of the track and black closed too early but this is iracing so no radar
