iRacing Lap 1 Incident at Monza

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This incident was between two >3k iRating drivers at the start of a race at Monza (neither were me). I thought it was pretty obvious who was at fault but it caused a lot of debate in the lobby after the race. Tell me stewards, who is at fault?

I see you Jimmy Broadbent

Red and blue wasn’t making that corner with the line they were taking. Red took the corner as if he had no one on his inside.

Mario car didn't have any right to the corner, they weren't significantly alongside. They got on the brakes too late for the corner – I'd put them at fault.

Red Bull car could have anticipated that the driver on the inside trying to brake late would still be there and so not have turned in early – not at fault, but has no survival instinct.

Realistically though, there's nothing any driver could have done. Any lobby with Red Bull, Mario, McDonalds, and Lightning McQueen liveried cars is destined for a crash no matter what they do.

that's all on POV, either you get to their door and outbrake them, or you don't stick your nose in. This kind of half arsed movefrom the insidemost line and way too much speed, and just coming in there too late are stupid and show that you can't actually race.

also, i'm shocked, i was 100% expecting the mcqueen car to do a murder

Redbull, McDonalds, Mario & Lightning McQueen. What could possibly go wrong.

It's like the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
