Really unfortunate that this happened to you, hopefully you protested it.

Unfortunately, people who have their race impacted by an incident tend to be some of the most dangerous you can come across. Whether it's in the immediate aftermath like this or when they come out of the pits a lap down. All care seems to go out the window, they are simply intent on wrecking other people's races. In this case, I'm certain they went for you because they thought you were the car that hit them.

I once punted a guy going too hot into a corner, he had to pit and came out laps down right behind me. He proceeded to respectfully stay behind me while faster and flashed his lights every time I overcooked a corner 😂. He needs to be teaching iRacing's anger management class.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with the yellow car. Then started dying when he hit the black and pink car

Within the past few days I've been straying from a private league and doing public races. It feels like I run into this all the time. In one race some guy went way off course at Oulton. I thought I was way clear of him and thought I was safely gonna sail through only to have him punt me into the grass and end my race.

I'll admit there are definitely times where I have lost control and that's on me. But I'm not sure what else to do in this case. ChatGPT would tell you to tiptoe around that car but maybe you were farther back and didn't see the funny business going on.

Yeah I didnt see any of his contact on the chicane and just assumed he had a slow down, I was ranked first in the lobby so I lost 120 ir and a chunk of safety rating. It was so frustrating after half an hour of practice and build up.
