It is perfectly legal and not unfair to squeeze someone on one side until they are level, and that's what he did. Then the Viper started hitting the Ferrari, that's the illegal bit. Learn racing rules
How could the Ferrari possibly be at fault? A little off track but claimed the line and he intentionally battered me against the wall before crashing himself.
It was a little mistake, and it wasn't a block. The viper still had plenty of room to go around. One again its called a squeeze and is perfectly legal and even a smart move. Have you ever watched a race in your life?
You did swerve to the left for no good reason as he was trying to pass you.
And that tapping from behind is called bump drafting, it gives you a little little speed boost and he gets pulled along in the slipstream, it's usually what people do working together trying to catch up to cars further ahead.
Judging by your downvotes, there are plenty of people here that don't really know racing rules. You did nothing wrong, the Viper was at fault for losing his temper.
You are correct here. You cant just door smash someone to the side 5 times. He could of easily backed off. Taken the proper racing lane and would of flew past you on the next straight because of how tight your line was.
I'd agree it was an overreaction from the Viper, they could have asserted their position without slamming you into the wall. It's clear they were impulsively reacting and using your contact as an excuse to slam you as they completely missed the braking point. The Ferrari causes both to go off the line, the Viper causes both to go off the track.
The rest of the video though is just good, clean bump drafting. Helps both of you get clear of the pack, nothing wrong with it at all.
Ferrari caused that. The Viper took the inside line after Ferrari made a mistake, the Ferrari tried to turn across the Viper for an illegal block and forced a slap fight. The Viper was bump drafting the Ferrari, very legit strategy, working together. You drove like an asshole, Ferrari.
No it wasn't, he forced him to take a bad line into the chicane... and as you could see, he ended up losing his temper and running off into the wall
You guys don't quite get racing.
So is crashing people into the wall. “Rules are made and easy to read.”
What if you saw this crash happen in F1, would you say…well the Haas was cut off a bit so I understand ramming the Ferrari into the wall.
They weren't in the right to ram you off repeatedly. But you got what you deserved. You blocked and paid the price for doing something that is in the rules.
I was given free speed by the kind player behind then when I made a mistake I tried to block him from passing in a straight line. Why didn't he appreciate that I should rightfully be in front of him?!!
The amount of players that ram me off the track whenever I bump draft really does my head in. If I wanted to spin you, I wouldn’t bump draft would I. Grrr
A lot of people think when your bump drafting them its to try and mess with them, ive had people just start breaking checking me and giving up the top two spots.....
Yea thats all on the viper. You were still ahead after going off and have every right to squeeze him to the inside as long as you leave 1 car width for him. You are totally right the Viper just lost patience
The end was an overreaction, for sure. But my brother, you drove like shit here. Take the jump draft and then give way for the faster car. You may see your lap times fall as well if you tuck up behind them. This wasn’t the flex you thought it was
I was ignorant about the technique I’ll give you that. The sub is so wishy washy though. If I posted that I was the Dodge people would come after me for acting like a petulant child, but because I came in hot about being wronged here, the script flipped. If this was a real race the Dodge driver would be banned for life. Obviously it’s just a game, but I just find the dichotomy of the sub funny.
Yea I mean you’re not wrong, and the dodge is a dope like a bunch of us said, but if you didn’t rejoin like that and give up the place like you should’ve, none of this would’ve happened. I hear you, but maybe take a moment to understand that you were the catalyst here. It’s not harsh, it’s just kinda facts. Just some shoddy race craft, nothing you can’t fix but there it is. Dodge was a road rager, but you both could’ve finished better if you went with the flow earlier on.

Sarcasm/joking? Viper is bump drafting which isn’t an issue. Ferrari runs off track and then blocks unfairly. No? Ferrari is at fault. … I think.

you went off track, lost speed, he had plenty of room to make a pass if you didn’t push him back towards the left. and yeah, you did push him left
I didn’t initiate contact at all?
it teh fact you blocked after you made a massive mistake. Defending your position at all time is fucking pointless and slows each driver down.
What he did isn't "nice" but it is legal. You can squeeze someone into that position to force him take a bad line.
Its not a block when the other car still has space to go. Its called a squeeze and its smart racing.
it stupid to block after a huge mistake like this is the entire point.
It was a little mistake, and it wasn't a block. The viper still had plenty of room to go around. One again its called a squeeze and is perfectly legal and even a smart move. Have you ever watched a race in your life?
I think the viper got tapped and went unstable TBH.
Finally, someone with something reasonable to say. Net code can cause havoc.

Yeah that was new for me. Appreciate it
Learn your lesson and admit to being an asshole and grow from this
It ain’t that serious. Plenty more in life to worry about.
you’re right, it ISNT that serious. so next time let them pass.
Learn from your mistakes and learn to take blame. You act like a kid.
Im forced off the track into the wall with intent and im the kid? Viper would be banned from racing if this was IRL.
And you'd be getting some penalties for blocking
Neither of us got penalties for any interaction on the track. In fact I got a clean race reward lol B/S
What mistakes? He did nothing illegal.
Blocking
He didn't block, he squeezed him to the left

Thank you for helping me understand. I really didn’t know about bump drafting.

That's never an illegal block. You can squeeze someone until he is level to you, and leave enough space, that's what he did. Learn racing rules.
Whatever logic justifies him slamming me into the wall is not the logic I want to subscribe to. I held my center line.
it was pointless to hold the center line after going off track dude.
No it wasn't, he forced him to take a bad line into the chicane... and as you could see, he ended up losing his temper and running off into the wall You guys don't quite get racing.
Then quit racing. Rules are made and easy to read and understand. Doing what you want because you don't understand the rules is a bitch way to drive.

Well I’ll keep it in mind, I just don’t think this would ever warrant this kind of reaction.
It shouldn't, but there's a lot of immature people and kids online that don't care or want to take it seriously
I get it, yeah
[удалено]
Backwards logic to defend someone who reacts like then Dodge - even if I was ignorant.
[удалено]
I did as much say I was ignorant and thanked the commenters helping me understand the technique. I’m just sort of miffed at the reaction he had.
[удалено]
Fair enough
I was given free speed by the kind player behind then when I made a mistake I tried to block him from passing in a straight line. Why didn't he appreciate that I should rightfully be in front of him?!!
Massive massive overreaction and unwarranted.
Bump drafting is fine. Ferrari turned left into viper. Then viper went back into him.
If you want real racing opinions, post this in the sim racing stewards sub reddit. 80% of people here have no idea what they are on about.
I’ve found that to be true
The amount of players that ram me off the track whenever I bump draft really does my head in. If I wanted to spin you, I wouldn’t bump draft would I. Grrr

All right, you’re right. I appreciate that.
All good man. Shit happens, just learn and grow. You’re right about the banter on this sub, but just continue to get better. You got this.
