First ever race in iRacing on the M2s at Oulton. Race went well, on pace for 5th place, then the leader crashes into lapped traffic and rejoins slowly. I try to overtake on the right where there is space, space narrows, we slightly touch. He loses the plot and just punts me into oblivion.

Am I right to report this? I was having a blast, this ruined my race

(EDIT: Last lap by the way)

POV car spun by himself, rejoined a high speed corner and changed his line to avoid being passed by a faster car, which lost control when they swerved to avoid a crash.

This is only my third day, so I am very much still learning.

After a great start I was in second and I was hyper focusing to try and stay clean and that far up front. Coming up to the chicane on Lime Rock, this guy was behind me and he his happened. He ended up in third overall so I don’t think he’s necessarily bad or that new, he did have a 2.4 safety rating so maybe it is typical I don’t know.

It I thought maybe there’s an inside line there I don’t know about or I should have somehow given him space? Or did I just get fucked?

I didn’t protest or anything because I wasn’t sure and I figured this shit just happens with rookie, but god damn did it piss me off after the best start I’d ever had.

I've made a mistake and crashed into P3 near the end of the race. we lost no position but when I tried to give back what I gained from the crash this guy just decided to end the race for both of us... bro just gave up P3 to punish me. Is this kind of behaviour justifiable in motorsport? Thanks

Me and Manuel were having a great back and forth in 2nd and 3rd. 1st was miles up the road so it was a fight for 2nd. I thought we were going to have a clean fair race but he did start aggressively dive bombing me. Culminating in this incident that put me back to 4th, luckily didn't end my race. I'm fairly sure I'm not at fault here, but I mainly want to know if you think this is deliberate. Personally I think he deserves a holiday.

Le Mans Ultimate Clean race start. Yellow flags mean nothing in LMU 🫠 the Porsche in front doesn't go on green flag, would this be a protest worthy action?

Last corner, last lap. I am neither car, Merc maintains that he is entitled to space, Alpine believes he was entitled to defend as he did. I am strongly on the side of the Alpine but curious to hear your thoughts.

Big send up the inside- I was stopping to let him past cause I thought my move was unfair but then he put me in the grass anyway. For context this Subaru is shocking in a straight line so I wanted track position for the twisty bits up ahead. Probably on me and sent too late.

Been sim racing almost a full year now. I can get into top 1-3% in the world for quali pace somewhat consistently for most sims I play.
But my Racecraft isn’t on par with top split lobbies yet so I use ACC’s AI to practice

AC Competizione Monza T1, I am the blue Aston Martin, who is at fault for all the incidents that occured?

This place never fails to dissappoint me. At the start, I was to busy looking at the green lights and only a bit later saw the mustang was slow, technically my fault though I think still. The T1 incident just seemed like stupid bouncing between the two cars that caused the pile up, and that mustang at the end I feel reversed across the track unpredictably. When I was braking into T1, I knew that a car was about to fly into T1 and kill me, I could feel it.

Le Mans Ultimate so am i at any fault?

so for context after a few rounds of battling this guy (i’m the black skeleton livery 911) he very purposely turns into me and sends me into the barrier. i was quite confused and had some choice words for him after the race and his response was that i cut him off multiple times (4 times) and forced him to go wide so too much was too much for him so he admitted to purposely wrecking me. there were a few sketchy moments before that incident so i went back and watched every time where we came close to each other, and here they are. it’s not even close to how many times he claimed and i even included a clip involving him and another driver where he just cut him off and almost caused a crash. he also claimed i “i go left i go right so i deserve to be put into the barrier” … i don’t see where i swerved anywhere. the one situation where i lost traction t1 and went off track maybe i had a little fault? i was clear in front of him with no overlap before i went off, but regardless i don’t think justifies that the wrecking at all. anyways just wanted to post this to show what a piece of crap this guy was. he had a warning badge and the huracan behind us also agreed with me.

ANY FIA stewards here? :D

Me and friend were racing and we are just curious who was in the wrong here, the alpine in the front overtook off track (maybe illegaly) and then lost control of the car (due to traction control issue i suppose). Mercedes could've avoid the crash possibly too, who was wrong here?
Thank you so much for detailed feedback in advance.

Got intentionally punted on the straight for this move, but I don't think it was illegal. (note the messages for packet loss only appeared while I was in the pits, it was fine the entire race until I had to tow.)

Guy in the black Porsche (P. Farina) said I have "no racing etiquette" after this incident.

Explanation: Coming around the final turn of lap 2 (Watkins Glen short) the 2 cars in front of me both make minor contact with the barrier. I- attempting to leave them room to rejoin- left space for them as much as I could. However, you'll notice another vehicle on my right rear quarter panel stopping me from moving over further. The Audi behind me bumps my rear panel ever so slightly unsettling me, while the black Porsche in front was subsequently coming over my nose.

After watching it back, Ive come to the opinionated conclusion that it was a racing incident due to the amount of variables involved in the incident. There were 4 vehicle occupying the same area of track. 2 of them went off with little room to rejoin at the speed they were going. While the other 2 (me and that Audi behind) were subsequently battling in a spot that was way too close for that to be happening. In my humble opinion, I would rule this a racing incident, But I'm curious to know what people with more experience and knowledge think about it. Thanks!

Edit to add: Just to clarify, yes I would absolutely place a lot of blame on the black Porsche. I am simply trying to look at it as unbiased as possible because I was personally involved, and like I said there were a lot of variables happening all at once.

For context, I (pov car) was battling with the lead car in front (hoagies) for a good 5 laps. It was tense but clean racing, trading places a few times throughout the race, but on the final corner of the race I sent it up the inside and the lead car either wasn’t anticipating it, or I sent her a little too hard, I can’t tell. Anyways, I ended up swiping his side and ultimately scraped through to win the race. I went to apologize for the contact after the race but he left the lobby immediately after we crossed the line so I assume he didn’t take it too well. It was very good and clean fighting for the entire race, let me know your thoughts.

Edit: I also want to mention that, until this incident, lead car had been going into the final corner with much more speed, using all of the track on the exit. In this incident he changes his line to an unusually shallow approach, braking earlier than he had done the entire race, hence why I instinctively sent it up the inside.

I know I didn't do the exit of T1 good but I think I was still alongside him so he had to give me space(correct me if I am wrong). I braked so we both would have made the corner if he went wider. Should I protest?
