I think he was alongside and you should have give him more space. That being said, his aggressive style makes that he will find himself in these sort of incidents more often. I think he can afford it because he is so good that in 99 out of a 100 times he can still save the situation.

[@Cloxxki]

There was a big speed difference, Max came longside late, but it's multiclass and there was no need to run it that wide. It's just pressing the issue with a famous driver. Doubt he'd do the same with the other faster cars?

[@titovs2100]

I think he won the position. Seems to me you were moving diagonally, like you were not expecting him to be there.

Huh? he had the turn all the way to the curb.

@@xiqy1959 yea I agree. This was very close to "racing incident" at absolute best. But ide say he had command of the corner as well. Had it been ANYONE other then MV1, we would be clowning on that driver for being so Reckless. We ♥️ Max though, and know his style om the track. So this is to be expected. Video host is right objectively about one thing. This situation comes up again, he will think twice. That I would argue is the point.

[@ramentasty8]

Kireth made it to the apex first and it’s his corner. Max’s front bumper wasnt even overlapping his rear bumper at the apex. So he has the right to the racing line which exits to the left side of the track.

[@Klote3241]

I aM enTitLEd To tHAt SpAcE!! Meanwhile... FIA rules state you have to leave car width space when there is a car next to you... and max was next to him.

[@2MuckinFuch]

@@Klote3241 This isn't an FIA event though. This is a multiclass charity event in iRacing, and there is no rule about leaving car width space in iRacing. Max is driving a faster car with more aero, and the much slower Mustang has every right to track out on corner exit as they wish. The only overtaking rule in iRacing is that the overtaking or faster car has the responsibility to make a clean overtake. Overtakes where the slower car yields the ideal line (unlike what happened in this video) happens all the time in iRacing, and in IMSA irl. In this case Kireth briefly hit the brakes, and could have left enough space, but looks like he got back on throttle and continued to track out on corner exit on purpose. The Mustang did Max dirty, but he wasn't obligated to leave the space as it's Max's responsibility to make a clean pass. If Max didn't bully the Mustang off his line, then he wouldn't have been punted in retaliation. In racing, you can easily get back what you dish out.

[@Drrolfski]

This bend-or-crash mentality is not new to Max. Senna was notorious for it as well. Interesting video though. Always good to see a pro sim racing perspective on Max's performance.

[@itzshummy101]

6:59 I think you are fully to blame in this incident, Max is fully alongside as the higher class car and as much as the higher class car has to complete the move safely, you cannot just drive through someone. By the same logic, he is fully to blame for all the miatas he punted off track

No he's braking to straighten the car to have room for max to be side by side otherwise there'd be zero chance. Ppl here so in love with max you can't see things straight

[@Expendable1]

He's clearly using the brake to transfer weight to the front to try to make a little bit of room. Getting back on the gas is what makes him understeer and go wide

[@chilldude30]

Very cool to race against max! To me the fact you breaked coming out of the corner whilst following the line seems like you panicked as you realised max was driving right into that line, and it only made the contact worse. I'd say it was your fault, yes max is super aggressive on the line but I'm not sure why you kept on the line and then breaked given a much faster car was clearly on the line too

[@MeTaLiStACZM]

If he was on the limit, he couldn't avoid his car going all the way to the curb other way than slowing down. It was too late unfortunately

[@Don-vv8ct]

That incident was totally your fault haha. You could have avoided making a full on pit-maneuver. You obviously knew he was there as you hit the brakes on the exit of the corner. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what he’s doing. The objective is to always go forward, each time you deviate from the line you’re basically impeding your progression.

[@ovt8454]

I think the first crash was pretty obviously kireth fault. Max was in that gap. Kireth let the door open. Max was also even almost ahead of kireth when kireth decided to keep his line nevertheless. which you can see at 6:02 . So Id rather say Kireth did not quite understand when the gap is yours and when it is not. Although it is pretty simple.. you cannot ram other cars.... but some people dont understand what that means obviously

Unfortunately you are in the wrong. You close the door on him once he was already there and you just can't do that. If you had closed it before he had his nose in place fine but he was overtaking on the outside. He left you all the space on the inside. Is it the best place to make an overtake no, but the reality is once the driver's already next to you. As long as he's not diving up the inside to try and beat you to an apex He has a right to be there.

M8 how he attempts to stick to his own racing line is a classic race craft technique, it was taught to me by my driving coach, and to him from his.

The game of chicken is even more intense in the bike world, much more a stake if it goes wrong. I don't think any sim will ever capture it because theres no element of fear.

His front axle is ahead when you hit him, you needed to move out of the way. You basically caused a collision, that crash was 100% your fault in my view.

[@VulgrDisplay]

I think a lot of people are blaming the car for his dominance, but he is clearly better than everyone else on the grid. I don't think Lewis or Alonso would consistently beat him in the same car.

[@alejandrobarreto6193]

It wasn’t the same car but about the same in performance in 2021. At least with lewis n max and they were even to the dot in the last race. I’ll like to think Alonso could be about the same as those two since in his early days he was beating goats like Schumacher and was a contender for titles in inferior cars which if u do any type of racing could be more impressive than the winner in the best car itself. Now I personally think that Max hasn’t reached his peak yet and if the teams keeps it together it could be very interesting to see where he ends up. Might be 🐐

About the incident, that was a pit maneuver 😂 I think the idea was good, but the overtake was already done, but in the end it seemed like a common racing incident, as the yellow car was still finding balance to the straight (maybe one of the reasons the physics engine sent the car into a spin too). If Max wasn't already ahead he might have been able to move into a little more into the grass and leave the yellow car space to control the car; that rejoin was simply attempted murder 😂

[@TMR_519]

Going back to your talking point about max’s driving style and how he does the sim racing. I love how you pointed it out because I have been trying to figure it out of what is his driving style. He wants his racing line so bad he will intimidate you to get out of the way. He wants free air and his line and that’s it. He will make you mess up because you know he’s all over you and if you don’t give him his space you will hit each other.

People in these comments are actually cracked lol. Pause at 7:51. Kireth is just past the apex and Max is behind. That's really end of story, it's Kireth's line. But ok 7:52 Max is still behind imo, front wheel is at back bumper. And look at the Mustang two cars in front. That's where Kireth is trying to be, and is entitled to be. 7:53 is front wheel to back wheel, and it's too late. 7:54 Kireth brakes clearly after contact or at least when it's clear that Max isn't backing out. Those breaks are to try and avoid an early exit to the race. Could Kireth have backed out, knowing it was Max and what would probably happen? Sure, but that's what Max counts on, drivers not wanting to crash out. He does the same thing in F1. I've watched a lot of IMSA and WEC, if a driver does what Max does there, they get a penalty and the commentators berate them for a stupid move. FYI I love RB they are my favorite F1 team so this isn't Max hate. More people need to stand up to him on track so he doesn't make moves like these. In F1, someone will stand up eventually because you can't let a driver do this forever.

[@spizzlo]

@-YELDAH actually it's commonly known that slower classes are supposed to stay to their racing line, which is exactly what Kireth did. Again, look at the Mustang. If it was real racing, the faster car slows down and passes after the corner. Pull up any race and you'll see. Of course sometimes people make aggressive moves and guys will move because they don't want to crash. Max is super disrespectful on iracing and doesn't treat it like real racing. He tries to stay on his perfect line and assumes the seas will part whenever he comes by. That's not multi-class racing. He should stick to single class if he's impatient and can't wait to make a pass.

Not sure if you're in a GT3 machine or not, but, regardless, you had the racing line, and Max did not. He knows that he should have backed off and could have overtook you down the road.

I just saw another video of yours and thought i'd sub, then in the very next video I see you with this weak sauce. Besides that the video was good.

[@Kireth]

Bro the livestream shows the literal opposite of what you said 😅😅

[@mackamotorsport2593]

@@Kireth So your spotter wasn't telling you he was beside you? You easily could of not gone over that last bit and left room. You saying that's not true?? Your comments are filled with people disagreeing with you. Argue the point, don't give an even weaker reply than your original excuse.

​@Kireth better listen to that guy. Has motorsports in his name and he knows you after 2 videos. Scary

[@mackamotorsport2593]

@@sst10 lol 😆. Well I never said I knew him nor that he should listen to me. I just wanted to know how he explained his contact when it was easily avoidable. He didn't want to explain it, which is interesting considering most comments disagree with him but totally his prerogative. He definitely would of got a penalty in my series. I'm more a Prost than a Senna @Kireth I avoid contact like the plauge but I am racing open wheelers and I also respect my competitors (online or off-line, I certainly don't allow contact for clout like yourself)

[@Fin_nish_usr]

I lack such talents, so I am unsure of how I would react. However, as a senior semi-serious driver, I do not allow the actions of aggressive drivers to ruin my race. I choose to let it go because I do not want to end my simulation session feeling more frustrated than before.

[@Kireth]

Very smart 👍👍

[@cbrunnem6102]

Lots of max simps in here. if you want to lap a guy on the outside on mid corner to mid corner when you werent there on entry.... you sometimes get knocked out wide as the lapper is already committed. its a risk of that type of pass.

[@sst10]

Careful. You might have people with racing and motorsports names come after you. All hail Max. All hail redbull

[@quigglyz]

Go beat Max in a straight fight or stfu

[@benjaminphilips]

i bet you my house that max could switch cars with hamilton and still win in china even tho it has been 3 years. he is just better. its racing.

[@fredbruno]

Totally agreed with you. I always said this is the reason why Lewis is lacking a little bit.

[@richy69ify]

Lewis lacks more than a bit as he was dumped straight into the best car, which strengthened his entitlement in turn that has allowed errors and bad patches to creep into every season. Max was utterly flawless in 2023 which he built up to driving non perfect cars. Remember in 2022 Ferrari took 50% of the poles and had to be caught or pressured into mistakes at times.

[@ausriusdidziokas6771]

He hasn’t allowed bad error Tom creep in every season. Max made a few mistakes in 2023, just not many

[@ausriusdidziokas6771]

Hamilton never lacked pace because he didn’t do sim racing, he didn’t need, just like Alonso. They good enough they that they don’t need to do that

[@fredbruno]

@@ausriusdidziokas6771 That's your vision.... Practice is key and they're limited to how much time they can spend on track with the tires and all. Training in Sim can give you the ability of better planning pit entries and exits, different ways to take overs and also to practice the mental warfare on other racers to know where to put pressure on them. It's great tool not required but nonetheless useful. Watch the Gran turismo movie that's a prime example.

[@ztommyh5378]

Max was already well alongside you, you just ran him wide. You gotta have more awareness

[@Kireth]

Bro thinks the slower mustang has as much downforce

[@quigglyz]

@@Kireth bro thinks sideswiping a better driver is justified

[@kirkselbrede2179]

I've been saying this for years now. I completely agree, that IS why he seems to be a more well-rounded driver then anyone else on track. He has more repetition than everyone on track, combined. Building muscle memory day in and day out, leave room to manage other things much easier. Max has cracked the code fs fs

[@dutchsmurf8075]

You were the one, in the wrong here

[@Danspy501st]

I think Max' dominating the line is possible but can lead to something dangerous if he applies it in real life. I believe we already had seen such style beginning to fracture if he is trying to overtake someone that knows his style and wont give away. That either leads to a crash or either of them needing to give place and/or leaving the track. We already saw some of it in his battles against Norris (Which also had race sim'ed with/against Max) I think it will either lead to lose of money for the team(s) to keep repairing the car(s), or driver(s) getting penalized by their action on track. He is for sure testing waters with all of this. I dont know if we can say he is Senna materiel, but he is for sure up there with how he is able to almost keep the same lap time again and again. His driving on real life track is amazing to watch, and we do often see him finding that 1% extra when he really needs to push. Like if he had a bad quali and needs to start lower on the grid

[@yunghanhuang8188]

Do you shift down before turn or after turn?

[@gaza.primera]

his car engine is like about 250hp greater than his opponents :D

[@djfdevelopment]

Ita very simple leave room especially if they are on the side of you. It means they were fast enough to get on your side so they are faster battle clean or break.

[@Vu__cheeCh]

The overtaking car has the job of making the overtake safe and this is a multiclass race too. Though I don't understand why you tapped the brakes at the exit of the corner but its just a game, so it doesn't matter that much.

[@domrodriguez2092]

When u crashed I believe he's already ahead of you if u were ahead of him you would of been in the front of the crash, yes u have ur right of way and yes you are entitled to ur space. BUT I think you may be in the wrong he's going so much faster because of his lines.

[@lukesfull]

saying you are not driving dirty while bumping into him is crazy

[@BenjiBoo42]

My understanding in multiclass is that the faster car should overtake outside. Max being in the faster class has a duty to overtake safety, but if hes taking the outside you should take the inside and let him by

[@shahmisukiman6484]

exactly what happened with norris

[@tekkerz3183]

And Hamilton 😂😂

[@TheDevilWAH]

Pretty much in racing no bit of the track is yours if ocupied by another car. You drove him of the side of the track. He got him self alongside you comming out of the corner, you should not be forcing a drive to break comming out of the corner. He had the speed and the track along side you and you drifted out. Racing is not about "blocking" the other drivers its about taking your line and holding it, he went for the wide line and got along side you, and at that point he is intitled to hold his line. You might have wanted the same line but he got their first and you just chose to ignore that. Thats not agressive driving, thats was just miss judged driving.

[@Kireth]

thanks bro!

[@ask.repeat]

You have to consider that you responded in a sim to Max passing your around the outside. In a real car you’d feel that presence much differently and you’re also much more likely to take efforts to avoid a crash. It’s easy to not yield on the sim where the stakes are incredibly low.

[@TheSheemed]

It’s not that he’s a $50 million dollar a year world famous F1 driver that people give him more respect on the track than the average person?

[@Toptechitsimracing9601]

corner was yours that was on Max LOL he new it ...;p

[@manuelpereira6391]

You choose the right video to describe Max, a faster car can help

[@danielshim7550]

Max most definitely watched Ayrton Senna's video clip where he said, "If you don't go for the gap, you are no longer a racing driver" Max must have thought to himself, "I will make my career out of the mentality" SuperMax Max Max Max SuperMax.

[@richy69ify]

To be fair when Senna made that comment he was defending his stupid move on Prost that took them both out of the race. He had a lot of shunts where he was in no position to overtake. Max at Torro Rossa made a few dive bombs under braking that didn't pay off, he's now ended up flawless whilst Hamilton still makes rookie errors.

[@dct124]

You can tell his eyes are far ahead. I think his brain is also almost erasing other cars from his field of view. Sorta like a selective vision. If you drive in real life, this is a phenomenon that occurs with motorcycles. For whatever reason, your brain can almost dekete a motorcycle from your field of view. Motorcycle riders are taught to drive in a certain way to put themselves in your view. He's got a lot of mental strength to do that.

[@Kireth]

Good point
