Clip Brilliant overtake or stupidity? (Part 2) (Again I'm the red car)

Hey guys, it's me again. I have this clip of mine and I want to get your opinions. This was also a fight for P1, but I see the guy trying to close the gap when he realized I'd won the position. Was it my fault, or did he just desperately close the gap?

100% your fault. Dunning-Kruger Level of brilliance.

You can see the raceline from the helicam and you tried to harakiricut-divebomb the opponent. All 4 tires are over the line. No one "closed the gap" by driving the raceline. Wrong place, wrong time for an overtake.

I think he should have noticed you at this point, it's not quite into the turn in.

Trust me, you're good. Nothing wrong with this overtake. The contact is a racing incident. Nothing more, nothing less

I would put this on the passing car, thay was a lunge and totally unsafe.

It was only unsafe because the front car wasn’t paying attention and turned into them.

Looks like a nice move. Definitely a chance he isn't aware of your position and takes the racing line and bumps into you like what happened. I wouldn't try this for anything but P1 personally but you guys traded some paint and kept racing 👍

Could you have made the corner and not run out wide on exit if there was no contact? That’s the question, your opponent squeezed you but it was a late move by you so you can’t blame him. The question is could you have made that move safely and left a cars width of room for your opponent on exit? It’s hard to say from here, i don’t know what circuit this is or even what sim it is.
