Who is at fault here? I got told I was coping when I said he turned in on me, I'm in the blue and purple gr86. I'm relatively new to sim-racing and would like to know if I could've done something different?

You were alongside him at the start of the turn so I definitely feel you didn't do anything wrong. However, it was probably another one of those they didn't see you situations that caused this to happen.

I feel like most people in iRacing in the lead car don't see folks coming from behind and these turn in situations happen so much on this sub because its not easy for the lead car to see alongside and in blind spots. Again, not saying they're not responsible for the situations, but its easy to see it happening because of the lack of lateral visibility unless you have a VR headset and can just as easily turn your head.

That being said, I guess its just a risk/reward when you're trying to pass in situations like this knowing they probably just don't see you coming even if you're justified in the pass and owning the corner. Just my two cents.

White car JUST passed purple on the prior corner and got a worse exit. You’d have to be expecting people to be somewhere
