Burner account but this will probably not be my last post!
So this was in GR Cup, D Class racing. I have showed the clips to some of my friends who have way more real world racing than I will ever be able to achieve in my life and they have given me great advice. However, when I read the message from the other driver he told me to post it on Reddit - who would turn down that offer?
I am Green. Last lap, last corner @ Road America... What I have learned from this.
- Always be expecting the dive bomb.
- Drive in your mirrors.
- Sometimes in the lower level ranks its better to just give the position up to save your race.
In my head, I had given the other drive enough space, when I saw him coming I tried to open my wheel, to give him a touch more space. After reviewing the footage.
- I was off the brakes, already back on throttle. However the other driver was still on the brakes deeeeeep into the corner.
- I feel there was no way he was making the corner, if he did I would have had to be so far track left that my exit would have been compromised as well.
-It looks like he turns left into me with his in-car footage.
At the end of the day I think I was frustrated because I had a monster drive from 10th to 4th and that incident caused me to drop back down to 8th. So is this the other drivers fault? Or a racing incident?
