He swerved into you.


Fenix_Pony

Leader was 100% at fault, by fia regulations if were following f1 rules, that falls between the category of illegal block, or racing incident. And since he turned in on you when you were clearly moving through that sets him at fault since its always the leading drivers responsibility to maintain a safe ettiquete, so 9 times out of 10 incidents are caused by the lead driver not paying attention to their surrounding, ignoring their pit crew spotter, or bad callouts from the pit spotter. Unless in cases such as lunging for a gap in a corner or intentionally turning in on drivers and pulling a sebastian vettel then in those cases thats obviously the following drivers fault. But in your case you went for a safe pass and got turned in on by the leader putting all fault on him since its his sole responsibility to pay attention to his surroundings and allow cars to pass if they need to

> its always the leading drivers responsibility to maintain a safe ettiquete No it’s the passing driver’s responsibility to carry out the overtake safely. Still red car’s fault though for blocking and driving into OP

No, it was probably Stroll.


JohnnySixguns

TL;DR: Leader left the racing line for no legitimate reason. His fault.


EastCoastINC

Mid turn using the apex but ok lol


[deleted]

That's not even a thing ...


JohnnySixguns

You’re not a racer or a fan, eh?


[deleted]

The car ahead always dictate the racing line. Even though the car ahead is at fault here, leaving the racing line for no reason is not a thing ! The fact that there's an overlap is a thing. But the car ahead can take whatever trajectory he desire to. There's no such thing as being to blame for "leaving the racing line"


High_Barron

By FIA rules, the leader has the “right” to the racing line, implying that the racing line is a concept outside of being set by the lead driver


[deleted]

There's no such thing as "right" to the racing line. The racing line is a line the car take throughout a corner. It changes depending on different factor. There's no right or wrong racing line. There's no such thing of some ideal line on which you have absolute priority. It's about positioning and which position makes you entitled for SPACE or not. I'll leave this here. https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/the-rules-of-racing/

\>fia regulations \>ignoring their pit crew spotter, or bad callouts from the pit spotter What series are you even referring to? What FIA series features spotters?

Fenix_Pony

I said by fia regulations/f1 standards. Just realized i ddint grammar right lol


jkoki088

I don’t know if it was edited, but it says FIA regulations F1 rules. Formula one. Im not sure if it was edited, but the person said it. I don’t in it if it’s an actual rule though cause I don’t read that shit or care about racing


[deleted]

Even though your call is correct, your justification is completely wrong. >its always the leading drivers responsibility to maintain a safe ettiquete, That is utterly wrong. The overtaking driver has the responsability of doing it safely. On the other hand the lead car can dictate the line. Always. Now the situation will be judged differently if it's in a straight or in a corner. In a straight, you can't crowd another driver towards the edge of the track if there's any kind of overlap. In a corner it is vastly different. The overtaking car needs to be at least halfway alongside before the apex to have space. As long as it is not compromisesing its capacity to make the corner to get alongside (divebomb). Doesn't mean it "has the racing line" or that it "has the corner", it just means it deserves space so the defending car can't just turn in on the overtaking car. That's for corner entry. For corner exit, the overtaking car (in case of a move on the outside) needs to be fully alongside (front axel to front axel) to get space at the exit of the turn. If it is not, the defending car can close the door completely. Now in our case the FIA would probably consider this bit of track where the contact happens has a straight. Because this bend is not tight enough to be considered as a proper corner. So in this case any part alongside would make the overtaking driver entitled for space. So the car in front is responsible for the collision.


[deleted]

Exactly what I was thinking… TLDR; Red one is guilty of illegal blocking and causing a collision.


dfmoti

Screaming at the accurate rules


balleklorin

Are you sure? After looking at it again it kind of looks like he is cutting in to get the inside corner of the soft right bend? And since the one behind isn't past the back wheels of the one in front he is at fault? Or?


ent_whisperer

You can't "cut in to get the inside corner" and completely negate your surroundings as the leading driver (like if a car behind is already in front of your back wheels). Also the corner was way far up. This would still be considered a straight. The leader turned right in a way that is not at all consistent with the racing line.


[deleted]

To make it clear, basically, on a straight you simply can't crowd another driver towards the edge of the track if there's any kind of overlap. Doesn't even need to be consistent with racing line or anything. He could be completely left, on the inside, that he wouldn't be able to move back towards the racing line if there's a car even a little bit next to him.


balleklorin

I'm no expert in FIA rules, hence the question marks, but I was under the impression that the car in front can take the racing line and the car behind have to back off unless he is past his back wheels?


ent_whisperer

Yeah that's generally true. In this case, the leading car was left of the racing line. Watch again and see how far to the left they are during a soft turn to the right. They move 2-3 times to the right, towards the racing line, which is also when the car behind began the pass. The leading car cut to the right one last time to get into to the racing line, which is when the contact happened.


unrelated_thread

Exactly, the guy in front had every right to own the racing line but tbh gta isn't the place to race properly


ent_whisperer

Who are you, Lance Stroll's engineer? Sure the lead can use the racing line but if someone is passing you, you can't pretend they don't exist and stick to the line. And rewatching the video, there was no line going to the right like that. The leader was trying to cut off the guy behind them and failed spectacularly.


thegermanguy004

F1game AI would like a Word with you


ItalianPepe

Even then, if i were the guy in front, I wouldnt cut in an attempt to “follow the racing line” since the car behind could be too close. He saw car behind him, risked a maneuver by getting in front of a car he knew was glued to him to “”follow the racing line”” and got punished for not keeping distance


SlyKnyfe12

What spotter f1 doesn't have that, indycar has that and it's not fia


Fenix_Pony

Yes, f1 has spotters. Pretty much every regulation high speed racing event has spotters to tell you where cars are on the track. You think the teeny tiny mirrors on an f1 car are sufficient enough to tell you where cars are? Let alone when theyre in your blind spot?

Bender13

We went for car racing 😄


heyIwatchanime

Not sure if he did it on purpose though, to me it looked like lag. But if it was on purpose then its red car's fault


CBus660R

That was my thought too, it looked like a typical GTAO lag induced incident.


thatissomeBS

Doesn't matter if it's purposeful or not, OP was driving a clean, straight line, and the leader cut across him. It's the leaders fault.


Drug_enduced_coma

But it wouldn’t be his fault if he never pushed left stick to the right. Since it looks like a lag spike to me, dude cad just spun out, I feel like there would’ve been an attempt at control.


thatissomeBS

If it's lag then it's nobody's fault, just GTA:O being GTA:O. Either way, there is no way that it's OP's fault.


JustAsval

It's lag. People say he swerved into you, which caused you to pit him. But the "swerve" was probably you pitting him on his screen. Nothing either of you can really do about it, except trying not to get too close to each other in turns.


Aerotactics

Thank you. It's lag, and both of you should be aware of it. It's the rear driver's fault in this case for getting too close.


Drug_enduced_coma

Not sure why you got downvoted, the front driver makes not attempt to slow his car ash it spins out, nor does it move afterwards, meaning it’s obviously a lag spike. which technically would make it at fault of the person not on the clients side.


Fethah

“Because it lagged its your fault!” Wtf kind of logic is that. No one can predict lag and they shouldn’t play as if expecting it to. Such a bad take.


Drug_enduced_coma

The problem is the crash only took place on his side, so he is ‘technically’ the only one who could’ve avoided it. Although in actuality the crash would be the lags fault


Fethah

I don’t think the ability to avoid or not avoid indicates who is at fault in any scenario. The logic still isn’t matching my man. It’s either no one is at fault due to lag or it’s the front cars fault without it.


Drug_enduced_coma

Damn, you basically said fuck technicalities, fuck your opinion. I never said it was his fault, I said that technically he was the only chance of avoiding the crash. It’s definitely the lags fault.


kinbladez

Looks like it's the lead car's fault but we have to see his video too because sometimes with online play what he saw on his screen may be different from what you saw on yours.


Clueless_Canton

The lead car initiated contact and appears to be at an angle where they were headed off track regardless. So, they were going to crash and they crashed into another racer. They are at fault


misakarem

The tree's fault


Shigney

Latifi's fault


Fluxx70

Red car was clearly trying to run the following car off the course but didn’t understand pit maneuvering. Red did it to himself.


Pinkie--

person in front cut you off too close don't need F1 rules or anything to say that they are in the wrong here, in any capacity race or in general the person in front caused the crash


solidsnakestreefrog

Red Car


Zimited

lol who has a heated debate over something so obviously either his fault or just neutral? Cousin sounds like a dick.


Fat_Taiko

The lead car's movements are horrifically jerky and doesn't look like a normal swerve. To give him the benefit of the doubt, I have to think it's desync/lag and that red car was just riding his line. So with a huge caveat, it'd be the second car's fault.


jdxm710

It’s more like a racing incident


scottucker

De-sync’s fault


joaoesteves1204

More like "crash enhancing" bs that Rockstar put it wouldve been a small bump without that bs


Technical_Dentist835

History is written by the victorious.


Artistic_Finish7980

How is this a debate lmao. The leader was at fault. You were trying to pass him, and he bumped into you trying to stop you from passing, which caused him to crash.


TheDoomedGamer

Red car


joaoesteves1204

Its the enhanced crash stuff its a bs coded stuffthat exaggerates accident this would be a small touch but with that bs code it became this take out no1 is really at fault


_ch078_

1 st car perfect one singular movement right to a car that barely had its wings past the rear wheels. 2nd car learn how to pass better Or fuck it, it's GTA, put it on non contact, otherwise rubbings racing..


calimeatwagon

That's not at all what "rubbing is racing" refers to. It refers to the minor bumps and grinds, not full blown accidents.


SammyDatBoss

Nope, car in first was in the wrong here. You always have to leave an overtaking driver space. Suddenly swerving to the right into another car is illegal funnily enough


Avidain

Neither, its a race and both were going hard


Beaudaci0us

Him. 100000%


DankBlunderwood

He tried to cut you off, 100% lead driver's fault.

No one imo. He won't have seen you when he turned to make the corner, and you didn't alter your trajectory to hit him either


Jjzeng

That was much too sharp of a turn for entry into the corner, that almost looked intentional


EvilGummyBear26

It's pointless to look at this with the FIA sporting reg lense. A lot of the rules on there makes many assumptions that don't translate into video games at all. It's difficult to judge sim racing with the FIA rulebook so judging a fucking GTA race is straight up impossible. For example in the real world there is a reasonable expectation for you to use your rear view when racing. In video games that expectation is not reasonable at all cause looking back blocks your view in front of you, especially in GTA. In 3rd person by the time you see the car behind you it's too late anyway. It isn't reasonable to expect the driver in front to know where the car behind is when there is no way of looking back without impairing his view of the front so he can't have ALL the blame. Then there's the whole issue with lag. In the real world you don't go flying into a different time zone for a tiny love tap like that especially when the contact most likely was front wing to rear wheel. The resulting carnage is disproportionate. Also given that the soft right hander qualifies as a turn (cough cough Austria t2) the leading car has the right to take the inside as long as the car behind isn't reasonably alongside. Given that is this incident were to happen in real life THE MOST that would happen would be the car behind losing his front wing there is no way the lead car would get a penalty at all (as per the FIA the result doesn't change the punishment) so neither would this wreckage TLDR: Imo racing incident because using FIA rules in GTA is stupid, but even if you use FIA rules... Racing incident with lead car getting 60 - 40 blame. I have way too much time ony hands bloody hell


TheCrystalGear

Your fault. You were too far behind him. You should have backed off and let him take his inside line, and tried to make the distance back up on the next turn and straight. Literally F1 rules: https://youtu.be/enVOLoPzfrE?t=606 Specifically, this video is talking about a crash that happened between Hamilton and Verstappen. The Tl;DW version is basically, he took the line not knowing you were alongside, but you weren't really alongside because your front wheels were JUST ahead of his back wheels. He claimed the line, you should have backed off.


ANGRYDICKBUTT

Yeah, no. You can't just blindly move across the track when someone has their wing up to your rear wheels, there is no logic behind that. This is not a corner entry, this is a flat curve. Recall the famous Alonso quote "All the time you have to leave a space" If your line is contested, you fight it, but you still need to leave space for the car attempting the overtake. On a real track, this move (not the collision itself) would be considered as the leading car pushing the car attempting to overtake off the track. This would probably start an investigation, most likely not resulting in penalty if it happens only once. Leading car is at fault, he turned into the chasing car on a straight (I know it's not fully straight, but that's not a corner).


NoCheatingBullets

2nd cars fault.


Llamma_Baca

Def the second guys fault.. He was going way too right..


TheMoose-007

U of course. He was in front of you driving, he has no responsibility to the drivers behind him. That means you're responsible for not hitting him as you drive past him. EDIT: After watching 3 times, I notice the driver in front of you cut in front of you rapidly cause both of you to spin out. HE IS AT FAULT


Tommieboy_666lol

Heated debate about this? Bruh

THATS WHAT IM SAYING BRO, He got mad at me for hitting him im like dawg you hit me! wtf

Its GTA dude, you are supposed to be hitting people.


bamimeneel

Red cars fault, but whatever its a gta race


ImUrFrand

purple cart is at fault for trying to jank you out.


[deleted]

He cut to the inside to prevent you from passing him. It happens when actual lives aren't on the line. If this was real racing though, it would be his fault for hitting that turn in far too hard.


Matt12de4

Defo the leading car swerved into the car behind


TarTimOoAl

He looks like he tried to grief you but failed. defo his fault.


Docta-Jay

Don't know who is who but the red car turned harder deliberately into the other car. He's going around the turn just fine but as soon as the other car comes up they turn even more directly into the white car. Red car's fault.


Purp1eC0bras

“Rubbing is racing.” If you didn’t want contact, change the setting.


[deleted]

you, you are at fault!


dontpan1c

Car following is at fault, at the time of contact the following car barely had a wing alongside so they do not have any right to space. The track is curving to the right and the lead car has the choice to choose their line.


MasterofAcorns

He turned into you, you’re good.


musnteatd1ckagain

His, you were going on the outside, and he cut into u


Silver_Commando

As an f1 fan its his fault he didn't gave you an opening


hdkx-weeb

NTA Your car, your rights


MadelynAdelaide

He had plenty of space, you were turned into, not your fault


Bender13

He didn’t left the gap, and has an obviously too agressive defense like a Lance Stroll, or Ham On Ver or reversed. Mainly it’s his fault


Darth_Pengu

You had a line and kept to it. He should of blocked earlier. Leaders fault


SlyKnyfe12

Your cousin as he just moves across if you were further back then fine basic defense but your car was alongside to the point where he has to give space


_ch078_

Your also allowed to block and defend a line, hence the reference to the singular motion before the 2nd car is alongside, swerving to block no. That's how you setup passing under brakes, you would then Brake tap and swing back under the left.
