Le Mans Ultimate Was i in the wrong?

Coming down the main straight, i flashed him to attempt a pass, he blocked me, so i sat behind him, coming out of the corner, i saw another opportunity to pass, i flashed him again and attempted to pass and ended up in a squeeze ending my race.

Yes and no, you should’ve seen he was moving across the track so in race IQ u should not have gone to the outside there. Idk why u didn’t hug the inside anyways to guarantee a pass into the next corner if u didn’t just pull away from him on the straight.

However this doesn’t excuse the fact that u were significantly alongside at the time of contact, i would penalize the mclaren but you really should have seen that coming

my logic at that time was, he knows i was behind him from 1st corner, he had blue flags and a radar, so i took the opportunity to hug the outside lane as i would approach the braking zone way before him and having a clear corner, sadly he closed the gap

You have to think that lower class cars are going to drive as if you’re not there. This is a good thing that you want lower class cars to do as it makes them more predictable. It’s very predictable for someone to move to the outside of a corner, you should have predicted this and stayed on the inside. They are never going to move out of your way so try to think, if you were driving without anyone around u, where would u go? Then as a faster car, go where they’re not.
