I'd be very disappointed with that.
There's no way of defending from that position, especially after being out braked by you rob.

Still a racing incident but you had more than enough car up the inside to claim that postition.

Good close racing though! Looks like a good championship. Just a shame I'd have to build a whole new car to enter it :(

mighty minis
Porsche open

All depends on budget and car.

Incident aside, it seems very harsh that you were unable to restart the race. Car was obviously driving fine after the impact and the damage doesn't look THAT bad from the pic.

How did the yellow guy respond to the incident?

Yep. He had a long time to plan his move, he'd have seen Rob got a better drive out of the previous turn and then had a decision to make.

He could've:

A: Covered the inside line, forcing Rob to take to the outside
B: Held his position and try to massively out brake Rob
C: Held his position, brake a little earlier, let Rob take the position and the inside of corner, but undercut him to get the better drive out of the corner and try beat him into the next one

He ended up in no mans land by not taking any of those and once Rob had his car alongside, should've realised he'd lost the place and gone to plan C to try and recover it.

I'd say you were entitled to some room as you had a fair bit of your car alongside before he turned in, you cant disappear and he should've known you were alongside.

We wern't allowed to restart after the red flag due to the damage below being to extensive.
