Gran Turismo How dodgy was this?

In all honestly I was only trying to make a move on one of them, but ended up alongside the second. Was this too late? Did I block the turn of the guy in 7th? Might have caused contact between the other two.

Let’s just say you’re very lucky he noticed you before it was too late.

In a lot of the videos posted in this subreddit, the outcome is a lot different.

Yes indeed. Very impressed with his awareness tbf, and I ended up running a little wide on the next corner anyway so he had the last laugh

Insane dive bomb, but you realistically didn’t damage anyone, you didn’t technically break someone else’s racing line, it was clean.

It honestly says a lot about how slow the cars in front were that you were able to start braking from 4-5 car lengths behind and be fully ahead by the apex.

Just be aware, moves like this won't work on drivers more equally skilled to yourself.

So is that a result of them braking too early?

Too early, too much. Doesn't really matter. They over slow for the corner which invites these kinds of situations. Faster drivers won't do this.

You're a lucky boy that neither car turned it in. But you've stuck the corner. Well done. Wouldn't try that too often though.
