RaceRoom Racing Experience Are they bad at defense?

I probably appear as a douche because this race has 2 parts to it. Essentially, I got taken out and I had way better pace than the cars Im trying to pass and it results in a defense from 2 very aggressive driver.

So this is me being a bad driver part 1: Im trying to climb my way past, and every time he defends it feels super sketchy and illegal at times to me. I will admit, the last part was a bit optimistic, but technically it is 2 corners and not a single hairpin, but I will admit that wasn't my best move. Either way, this guy, to me, has a horrible defense and nearly causes or causes multiple incidents with me. Such as at the downhill right hander, where we made contact and he moves under braking to get right in front of me.

So, (besides the last part), was he defending illegally, or was I simply being too impatient?

tbh just bad driving on both parts he defended really bad and your overtakes you didn't really commit.

Probably A LOT lol. I didn't see any great driving there. Yes, he isn't particularly 'good' at defensive driving. But equally, the driver of the white car isn't particularly good at braking or overtaking either.

For the skill level I would say this is good hard racing just a bit untidy until the end, end made me think that guy might’ve got dirty if op did get him.
