the first incident was 100% on you. u where miles back from him and pile drived him into next week. yes he moved over but u where so far back anyone would of done the same as the move clearly isnt on. even if he hadnt of moved over and u went up the outside where was u going to go? most prob end up looseing time fighting a move thats not going to work. wait and take him into t1.

I understand what you're saying and I respect people may have a different opinion, but I disagree hard with that assessment. I wasn't trying to go for a move, if anything I braked earlier than normal because I was trying to set up for a better exit on to the main straight as you suggested to go for the move into T1. If he'd moved over before the braking zone and then I'd rear ended him, fair enough, but I'd already started braking and was at the max you can get away with without locking up which would have sent me in to him anyway. This exact incident is the reason motorsports have such strigent rules about moving in braking zones, once you've committed to braking its almost impossible to change your course. I braked early and enough to put my car on a part of the circuit that was open, which he moved in to in the braking zone.

​@xSmithyx the responsibility of the crash does have to sit with you as you are the car behind. However he did drastically slow down in front of you once you started to brake so it's a tough one. In this instance I'd usually let off a little early to let them do what they want to do without getting me tied up in it and then get a good run out to T1.

@@ryantilley94 I agree and that's what I tried to do, as I explained at the time I've hit the brakes probably 75-80 metres earlier than normal in anticipation of them being checked up with the space there infront of me to be able to do it, but with the combination of a) him slowing down so unpredictably, and b) crowding onto my line after I'd been on the brakes for about 100 metres at that point, there was nothing more I could have done...any harder on the brakes and I lock up and hit him anyway, I try to turn to avoid him and I lock up and hit him anyway, or I release the brake the regaining steering at which point I don't slow enough for the corner and hit him anyway🤣 Not mad about it, what's done is done, its probably a racing incident but is a good example of why moving under braking is not allowed in motorsports!
