Why Do People Keep Making This Mistake?! - Judging Your Sim Racing Crashes

[@treschlet]

My thought on 10:30 is that while the Honda did mess up going into that corner, the BMW was well aware of that and was capitalizing on that to make the pass. It's up to the BMW to make the pass safely, and they easily have it. The Honda realized they messed up and gave the BMW plenty of room, and the BMW just ignored the Honda and slammed down into the apex like they weren't there. IMHO this is 100% on the BMW. Sometimes you just miss your line, and that's what we're always hoping for other people to do when we're chasing, so we can make a pass, but it's still on us to make that pass safely.

[@SimHulk187]

I agree completely, this was exactly what I thought when I saw it. The BMW was not clear ahead and so was not entitle to the racing line, and as Jimmy himself said "it's pointed right at the apex"

[@alouisschafer7212]

Absolutely squeezed the Honda off the track

[@ICKY427]

[@Vanta_Blue]

You're right on the money, but as the BMW was the one to suffer it's likely there wouldn't be much of a penalty applied.

[@jl4859]

[@ApothecaryTerry]

The McLaren may have been in the wrong at the end there, but it's hard to be angry for such a top quality punteroony.

The McLaren was tired of being bumped from behind and then shoved off the track, so he decided to turn the guy into Team Rocket.

[@neblolthecarnerd]

If you want to drive quickly then why are you thinking about slowing down?

[@angryginger791]

When I first started sim racing on PC, I joined a GT3 league on PC2. They were really big on giving positions back if you gained it due to contact or forcing someone off. Basically, if it wasn't a clean pass, you were expected to give it back. That led to some of the best racing I've ever participated in. Drivers used more strategy. They picked their battles carefully, and oddly enough, since most moves were clean and smart, people seemed to not get as butthurt about being overtaken. I'd love to see sims promote that sort of gentleman's agreement more.

[@mircoh.8367]

Yeah I like to do that too and I find that people are more likely to return this kind of favor when they see someone else does it.

[@DonLee1980]

4:30 you can only try to block someone if they are clearly behind you. in this case, he's already beside you and you are literally swerving into him so I'd say you can't push the person off the track. If not, then the person behind can try to push the other way and the car in front will spin and crash.

However, these judging the sim crashes has to be my favourite videos of yours Jimmy, i don't know why but they never fail to make me laugh while also being educational. Not only to be a better racer but to know who to avoid and when to back out.

[@jacksmith4460]

13:48 Honestly, I get why the Mclaren lost his shit, the Porsche was driving like it full contact racing. I think that's a case of "chat shit get banged" or in this case "drive like a prick , get banged"

[@katrinapaton5283]

We all knew Jimmy would make a great F1 commentator and now its actually happening! Great stuff. Bit like this video in general. Im glad Jimmy admitted to not being especially patient as an LMP driver, I still feel guilty tuning in to watch a race and him almost immediately tangling with a Pork 911 thru the esses at, Im going to say Road America? Perhaps he could do a video entitled "Judging My Sim Racing Crashes"...

[@nihontiger]

For the crash at 7:45, that would definitely be on the 7 and your assessment is correct, Jimmy. It appears the 7 was attempting to move to the bottom to try and overtake the car in front of it (track appears to be Lanier or South Boston, so a very small oval), but didn't appear to consider the cars on the inside coming off the corner.

[@ihateracin]

Definitely common for rookies on street stocks tbh

[@jeremyleemartens801]

2nd incident: actually, in almost every simracing community, reactive moves are NOT allowed. yes you can squeeze him, but only after he is besides you. and if he just doesnt react to your squeeze, the contact is on you. It is like that in LFM and every AC racing community I was in, and I am pretty sure it also not allowed in iracing and british gt irl. Reactive moves/blocking is concidered dangerous driving and can lead to multiple day bans in LFM and license suspension irl

5:30 that was at daytona, a couple years ago they added a front strech chicane

[@gavinwinkler1147]

The Daytona road course has always had that chicane I thought, they just hadn't used the road course for NASCAR, just the oval

[@Shiftry87]

5:33 Looking at that situation while netcode definatly hade an effect there, it still looks like from the turning angle that the car on the right is aiming for the racing line which clearly isent possable in that situation. Based on that angle i would say the right car is a little at fault but not as mutch to cause a penalty and netcode definatly played a part there aswell.

[@Dasspapirfly]

Man, jimmer looking half dead for this, hope you're ok mate. Love these Judge (y)our Sim Crashes things.

[@LewisEdwards78]

13:14 - 15:49 I think the McLaren probably hit the incident limit and got a drive-through from all those previous contacts and decided that; because the battle ruined his race, he'd ruin the Porsche's race. Funny to watch but really shouldn't be happening.

[@RacedayMediaNZ]

5:15 "where is this, is this charlotte?" - jimmer, 2022 i was screaming at my screen when I heard this knowing it was daytona

[@RacingGuy2448]

As an oval racing enjoy at 8:00 the 7 car was setting himself up for a pass in 1 and 2 you can change lanes in the corner because contact is perfectly fine the 7 turned way left and was coming down and the 5 came up it’s they 7’s fault but it would be considered a racing incident that could have been avoided

[@jackdurham7134]

The SS race with the 7 car was a racing incident, look at the yaw in the 7 car he got loose on exit and was just chasing it... the 7 ran out of talent and owes an apology but it wasn't a decision to move down IMO

[@cltlogix]

8:17 the 7 car definitely came down into the 5's racing line and it's not very realistic to expect the 5 to be able to react since street stocks can get pretty tight in the corner

[@JackalRacingNetwork]

8:04 - 7 is at fault, btw you can actually be a little less predictable on oval racing than F1 or that sort of thing, more room to manuever on the track unless the guy next to you sticks you to the bottom mid corner, then you have to change your angle of attack for the exit.. and.. yadda yadda yadda tl;dr you can be a little less predictable without error on ovals than F1 and stuff

[@musclecars2473]

at 8:20 oval race. Looks like the 7 got loose off the turn and wasn't able to catch it in time. you can see the front tire is fully turned to the right to try an keep it from happening. I would say it's just a racing incident

[@ashenwolf98]

5:15 close, but it’s actually Daytona. Specifically, it’s the variant that NASCAR used the past couple years due to using the road course sort of last minute (COVID reasons). It’s the normal 24hr track but a chicane was added after turn 4 like what you could see in the clip.

[@jamgood96]

For the oval race, at 7:45, pretty sure they got loose on corner exit and started to lose the rear-end. No way they could have maintained their line, but also hard for the car following to notice the car they are passing got so loose and is coming down.

[@Azeria]

The thing about oval racing, especially on iRacing is that it’s also on you to avoid idiots, but I don’t think the 5 had time to check up so it’d be the 7 who is more at fault. That being said it wouldn’t be a penalty on either car irl.

[@cltlogix]

Yeah especially with it being street stocks unless the 5 locked up the brakes he was probably too tight on the corner to even be able to react

Didn't that #5 car also turn up.

[@eclipze9412]

@@julianhaarstad2535 No, that is the line to track out to the wall. Imagine a hairpin on a regular track. Out as far as you can for best turn in, hit the apex, then drive out of the corner using as much track as possible for best drive off. Same principle is used at short ovals. You can see the 4 doing that a little bit. Oval racing is all about momentum.

[@craigwinter3792]

@@eclipze9412 yeah, his line on the exit looked like he was going to leave that top lane open. 7 cut down on him for whatever reason.

[@nathanleonard439]

7:46 It looks like the Number 7 is getting loose coming off the exit of turn 4 right when Number 5 comes and hits him. I still think it's 7's fault, because he should be on top of the car and aware that it's about to get loose on corner exit. But if I were to guess, the Number 7 was watching either the 4 or the 5 and not paying attention, leading them to be slow to react to their car veering left, right as the Number 5 enters the picture.

[@honkeytonkee4328]

5:35 i would not call that racing incident jimmy that was avoidable and looking at it even if the netcode didnt have an issue he still would have just turned into the guy in front it just seems like he misjudged where the other cat was honestly

[@antonnielsen7707]

Great vid, can feel you enjoy making it when watching :)

[@DrRyan82994]

Something i noticed people need to practice in general, they really need to work on catching their car after contact. accidents and little bumps happen, it’s always a little ridiculous when someone #1 drives really aggressive and come into your line #2 makes slight contact with you, cars balance is upset #3 big crash and get pissy with you like we want to have fun so aggressive driving isn’t all bad, yeah we’ll have contact, but it feels like people are so dead set on hitting the apex they won’t steer their car or let off the gas even when they are about to get flipped around oh same story if someone brakes early, gets bumped, and just has no plan for getting their car under control

[@AlgeArid]

Thanks for the content as always Jimmer, and get well soon!

[@Sworn973]

10:46, not a race incident, he can't turn out of the track, the other guy had to give him the space to continue, the black one just turns as if the other car wasn't there

[@DJYeeJay]

For the oval clip my opinion is that it is on the 7 but at the same time we have to remember that these are rookies who tend to be deathly afraid of the wall, so leaving extra room to the guy up top is just a generally better practice all around for rookies. Even with that though the 7 is very far down that track but it’s something that comes with experience

[@jacksmith4460]

8:23 correct me if I'm wrong, but this just seems like a racing incident. It looks like the 7 had quite a bit of over steer coming off the corner, and the 5 was moving up sticking to its lane, and the 7 was trying to catch the car and prevent it from spinning

7:37 Most oval racers would blame the 7 for taking a shit line, getting a poor exit, and then clearing themselves on the 5. It's the same deal as with the Porsche at the start of the clip, but unlike that incident, the 5 couldn't be reasonably expected to react to the 7.

The incident at 8:20. Im not amazingly educated in oval but I have a decently good knowledge. I would say its still the 7 cars fault, but the 5 car should've been a bit more aware as the 7 is following someone with the potential to overtake at the end of the straight. Still on the 7 but thats how I feel about it.
