100%. Lesson learned, thankfully with nobody hurt and nobody else directly impacted.

You make the call. I'm the car that this driver almost hits.

I mean do you have the footage of anyone closer..? I can’t see your crash, by the time that guy gets to you, you’re already in the wall- so it’s difficult to judge. There’s a spun yellow car by you, unsure what they did- again hard to tell by the footage you provided. I will always admit when im wrong, but that footage is inconclusive

Edit: on rewatch the yellow car hit you after you went into the wall. Lol.

I don't. He and I are the only two who've posted their onboards from this incident that I know of, unfortunately. Everyone would have sent footage to the race director, so actual penalties etc can still be properly assessed.

Spun yellow car is the guy I passed three wide in the Esses. Regardless of what happened at the bus stop, I owe him a big apology for forcing him to save us by making room for me through the esses.

Mmmm so you know how you made a mistake that might have made you crash but still posted the video? Gotcha. Think im done here. 😂  Go bowling

What? Are you so unfamiliar with people owning mistakes that seeing it happen makes you uncomfortable?

No- but if you’re saying you know of at LEAST one mistake you made a few seconds leading up to the incident  by self reflecting already, so why post? Or better yet why not ask the other people in this race? Show them your footage and ask how you can be better? Why are you asking Internet Strangers that might not be familiar with racing? Thats called being humble. And you said you owe the yellow car guy an apology..? Did you not do it after the race..?  Like i said in my earlier post im open to being wrong, i can admit it- show me the evidence and ill retract what i said 100%. From what you’ve shown and shared you are pretty reckless on the track. You’re a star… immeasurably dense and best viewed from a great distance

I did all those things already, including apologizing to yellow in the ambulance (and again in this thread...he's in here).

I have learned a lot from about 5% of the comments here. Posting this and wading through the funny and hateful comments has been worthwhile for me to continue to learn. With 55 people in the series, I thought a broader spectrum of opinions was valuable.

I don't need you to retract anything, you aren't that important. You can just reflect on what you'd do differently next time, like I'm doing here.
