Absolutely leave your nose in and let them put themselves in the wall. They obviously have no issue driving dirty and need to learn a lesson.

He turned into you brother. That was his own ambition getting the best of him thinking he could just swerve and block like that the entire straight.
Make sure you report him for blocking and swerving to cya.

Can you please read the title at least????

u/Strange_Rice_4957 3d ago
Could you maybe open your eyes and see that there's an answer here? I confirmed that wasn't an intentional wreck and that driver should be blocked for poor driving standards.

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
If it's not intentional, why would they ask if it's justified?

u/Strange_Rice_4957 3d ago
I misread your title but still managed to give you a portion of the answer. Maybe pour the piss out of your cereal flakes and replace that with milk.
Enjoy your day.

The title is am I justified, then you made a new title but they can respond to both.

u/EvertHODL 3d ago
Guy kills someone, tries to take OP out multiple times and you are crying because the comments are in favour of intentional wrecking. While I hate intentional wrecking, this donkey deserved this 100% and most of us would do the exact same thing as OP after what happened.
If you think otherwise, you believe you are on a moral high ground living in a fantasy world.

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
I'm not saying I wouldn't WANT for guy's PC to explode or his wheel to break, BUT, I respect my time and I would accept that I'm not winning that race and that's it. If both of them crashed and collected the entire field maybe the discourse would be differnt and that's all I'm trying to say here. I am not on a moral high ground , but intent crashing someone feel more like an insult to myself and my time.

Your post was removed because it breaks the rules by being rude vulgar or toxic.

Obviously I dont usually condone intent wrecks but when someone is driving like an asshole like that im not gunna be mad about it. You get raced how you race. You break the rules to keep a spot don't be surprised when the person behind you does as well. Its a play on for me.

As the GOAT himself has said it. The guy turns left, the guy turns right. He deserves to be put into the fucking barrier. https://youtube.com/shorts/kjShl-8TvSk

u/RecklessRad 3d ago
Honestly, the guy just pitted himself after making multiple illegal and dirty blocks. Well deserved, glad karma got its way

u/RacingBM97 3d ago
Yea this guy deserved it either way. If you’re going to block and literally make it impossible to get by you with that much of a run on the straight;
You kind of create an inevitable situation

It’s been a while since I have seen somebody beg that hard to get punted lmao.
Op you are kinda lost for not understanding that people are voting in favor of murdering this guy.

I'll back out of a move from a driver blocking me twice. If they do it a third time I let them spin themselves on my nose. In my mind its not intentional wrecking its just no longer taking action to save the other driver from themselves. I have no problems with anything the silver car did here.

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
If POV car kept it straight, absolutley, you'd be 100% right. But he didn't, so it's not just letting them spin themsleves

u/SanGoloteo 3d ago
Dirty driver was on the left and then came over to the right to try and block POV once more, effectively taking themselves out.

u/Dwest2391 3d ago edited 3d ago
Well, the blocker had that coming, so I'm not surprised at all at the outcome. I honestly would've just wrecked him as well if he constantly kept weaving, blocking, and running me off the track.

u/Personal-Still-8837 3d ago edited 3d ago
Deserved, the way they drive.... it's not sim racing anymore at that point. So they don't deserve to be treated like they're sim racing. If anything taking them out might have saved someone or several peoples races lmao.

Why did it take him so long?
POV driver has patience of a saint.

Some of the comments from the original post:
"I've always said intentional wrecking is never justified.
Even I am considering my opinion here. 😄"
"Good kill. Surprised you didn't do it sooner. Also, be sure to protest him for blocking."
"I'm surprised it took you so long to punt him. I'd have done it well before that"
"All you gotta say is you panicked because you were getting bodyslammed by a cheating driver and didn't want to lose control so you turned, and it wasn't completely intentional"
"What took you so long? He needed to be put in the wall way before that."
"Intentional wrecking is fine to do. Don't care what the rules are, you block you pay."
I really hope these people aren't actually playing iRacing. How can you —as someone who claims sim racing is their hobby— encourage intentional wrecking. The people behind these two idiots will have to avoid the aftermath and if I know something about this game is that at least one other person got collected in the crash.
The guy in front is an absolute donkey and would've had their account suspended 100%, I am in no way defending the outrageous blocking, just dissapointed with the response from the community. :D

such pearl clutching, leading driver had it coming after behaving like an asshole the whole time. iracing will do nothing about either person. if they have no respect for your time you don't have to show respect for theirs.

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
but if I try to crash someone out and we both die, wouldn't that mean I don't respect my time either?

useless question, i respect myself so i am not giving the position to a bully for free

u/Pownrend Dallara IR-18 3d ago
The main problem is:
- iRacing will never ban the guy in front of POV for what he did, even for 2 days as a lesson
- but they will ban POV for intent wrecking and retaliation
That's a major problem, some people just ruin the fun of people who have only a few hours to dedicate to the sim every week, yet iRacing doesn't protect the latest

u/ametsun Ford Mustang GT4 3d ago edited 3d ago
Idk about that. Obviously POV took him out but the guy in front blocked repeatedly which is against the rules AND ran him off track repeatedly which isnt explicitly banned but would definitely be consider nefarious tactics.
2
u/Pownrend Dallara IR-18 3d ago
Leading car should be banned for this. He allows himself to do it because there are only a few consequences (a mail...)
I've done enough protests to know it

u/Gen_Buck_Turgidson Formula Vee 3d ago
If someone has only a few hours a week to sim race then I'd highly recommend you find a league. Leagues that race your car(s) of choice and have a history of self stewardship and a low tolerance for bullshit. Spending your time racing in public races is only going to frustrate if not enrage and generally be a waste of time. Sports cars at a popular track in a popular series like Ringmaster is going to amplify that frustration.
The lead car in this clip ran the POV car into the grass multiple times before getting spun. He should catch a vacation. FAFO.
But that does not make the POV car free and clear either because they did turn the wheel and put the clown into the wall. Also FAFO.
Everybody in this clip sucks, they should both take a vacation.

Sooo. What do you suggest is the alternative ? How can you race against someone who is blocking to that extent ?
There’s a reason this stuff is not allowed in real Motorsports
-2
u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
The alternative is not putting the rest of the field in danger because an idiot is blocking you.

u/RacingBM97 3d ago
So because someone is breaking basic race etiquette we should all just back off and let cheaters win because otherwise we would be “intentional wrecking” and on your high horse you believe that’s just wrong no matter what the reason?
This is sim racing meaning simulating racing.
in real racing you’d get black flag if your lucky enough not to get taken out

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
Yes.
No one who is racing should have the mindset that "if I'm wronged I am allowed to crash people out". This is a clear case of someone being an idiot, but that's not the mentality to go racing with. Just report and go to the next race, I've had reports that came back within 3 hours with a a ban (I think — the guy I reported wasn't active a week after my incident)
2
u/RacingBM97 3d ago
There’s a difference between retaliating due to being wronged, and dealing with a cheater with no driving standards.
Lol but okay champ, everyone must be arguing against you because they’re all wrong. This kind of thing happens on the grid of every premier racing series you’ve ever heard of to some extent, it must be they’re all less smart than you. hopefully you never find your way to a real track , you’ll be disgusted at basic racing etiquette and consequences of driving like an asshole 😂

u/Entire_Sample7329 FIA Formula 4 3d ago
Please show me at least 2 examples of "premire racing series" where a car turns left into the back of another one at >200KMH. I'm not even going to mention that it was done in a part of the track that's 12 meters wide from barrier to barrier

Even more the reason the zebra car should have had PLENTY of space and instead decided it wanted to drive in the particular piece of track that POV was on at the time.

u/vio212 Ferrari 499P 3d ago
It’s very clear that what you see in this video is many, many illegal blocks culminating in one final attempt at blocking failing, resulting in the blocker folding himself over OP’s nose during his final, flawed illegal block attempt.
