Yeah, I agree. The dude was completely in the wrong, but a general rule of life is "Don't assume malevolence when ignorance is an option". What that looked like to me was the dude went off, looked in his mirror, went to the left to get out of the way, then when he looked back in his mirrors saw the approaching car was also going left, steered to the right to get out of the way again. Also completely possible that the dude just wasn't looking behind him at all. It looked like intentional blocking (and I'm not saying it wasn't)... but "Inexperienced driver does something stupid" tends to be more common that "Guy intentionally causes crash that will take him out of the race".

6:03 Is it just me or does the 27 move way the hell over to block the car he's following? Maybe he lost control of his car but you see him move to the left, then over to the right. I mean the following car had to dip two tires in the dirt JUST to avoid him! I get what Jimmy is saying but how could the guy following possibly predict that 27 would dive to the other side of the track to keep them from passing? I think he's being a bit forgiving of the 27 car here, it's like he thinks 27 was driving in a straight line the entire time and OP crashed right into him for no reason, when there was no rhyme or reason to come way the hell over like that except to block someone who is faster than you. I agree that the guy should've slowed down a bit when he saw 27 driving erratically, but this is like 80% 27's fault. He stays on his line and none of this happens, but he didn't want to lose position so he dove to the other side to cut them off or run them off the road. The car OP was following got lucky that they had enough space to avoid them. I think OP should've let off the throttle a bit sure, but what 27 did was very much unexpected and...very ungentlemanly, we'll call it.

Merc alpha incident 12 mins in was in my league. Alpha had damage prior to the first move so should never had considered the move to begin with. Merc driver knew of damage so never thought the alpha would make the move and then second part of it was him thinking the alpha would had taken damage into consideration and slowed up and given room to him.

This is an excellent series and anyone looking to improve their racecraft should watch this (also it's just very entertaining lol) I'm not entirely sure I agree with your assessment on the Indycar incident, though. It looks like the car in front checks up quite a bit, and the car we're riding with gets caught out by it. That corner does seem like it's actually quite a loaded corner and obviously making significant adjustments to your line in a loaded corner can be pretty dodgy. I think I'd hesitate to put the blame on the guy we ride with, and would really just call it an unfortunate racing incident.

Last one was a compliment to all three drivers in that turn. Everyone aware of eachother and not cutting into eachother's turn

12:06 Based on the driving standards guideline for the real f1 this season, I think the AT might be at fault for this? What the guidelines say: "Guidelines for overtaking on the inside of a corner" In order for a car being overtaken to be required to give sufficient room to an overtaking car, the overtaking car needs to have a significant portion of the car alongside the car being overtaken and the overtaking manoeuvre must be done in a safe and controlled manner, while enabling the car to clearly remain within the limits of the track. When considering what is a ‘significant portion’ for an overtaking on the inside of a corner, among the various factors that will be looked at by the stewards when exercising their discretion, the stewards will consider if the overtaking car’s front tires are alongside the other car by no later than the apex of the corner.

That Bojack print hits different

10:50 the two move rule applies only close to the braking zone. There is something to be said about weaving too frequently or aggressively, but breaking the tow is absolutely allowed on the straights. I might still call the Ferrari at fault, but only because his weaving was harsh, aggressive, and sudden, not because he is making too many defensive moves, as they aren't even close to the braking zone yet.

I've watched like 12 of these today, and I've learned more about the rules of racing and etiquette and stewarding than I have watching various racing series this year. Thanks! And they're wildly entertaining!

7:20 you know there's a problem when Gran Turismo 7 enforces the pit road commitment line rule and iRacing doesn't

2:00 No, please Jimmer, honestly... keep your third eye locked up thank you very much...

Number one tip for new sim racers: Slow down in practice. If you’re flying off the track, spinning and making a lot of mistakes every single lap; you are not getting better. Lift off early, hit the apex and nail the exit. Get the lap PERFECT at 50 - 70% pace and build up from there. The most important thing is getting the laps in consistently. Accept that you are not fast yet and that it will take time to get fast. If you are making a lot of mistakes you are going too fast for your ability. Racing is knowing the car so well that you don’t have to try, it should be easy and the only way you’ll get there is by slowing way down.

One quote sums up most of this video. If you no longer go for a gap, that no longer exists, you no longer racing driver.

I've been simracing for a year or so and what I've noticed most about a lot of guys, especially in rookie servers, is that most guys starting out spend about 90% of their energy trying to block you or get in front of you in the moment rather than realize that going way the hell out of your way just to get in front of someone causes you to take a corner way slower and get a slow exit than you would if you would just focus on taking the best line possible without driving like a dick. Public servers can be a real pain in the ass because you run into so many sore losers and jackasses who refuse to let you pass even when you're significantly faster than they are. The amount of times I just get rammed on RaceRoom is really frustrating. Sometimes you just need to be ok with losing position if it means you'll be able to actually finish the race. I'll happily concede position to some fragile douchebag taking messy racing lines and thinks he's the second coming of Senna. I feel like so many guys would be 10 times better and would get much better results if they raced like that. No 'special' setups thinking it'll give you several seconds a lap, or thinking you need more expensive equipment to be better, just ACTUALLY finish a damn race, maybe even be ok with being a backmarker, as long as you're racing safely.

Your intro... looks as if you are living my dream. I applaud you. Respect.

"the vortex of danger" involved in so many of these crashes, you aren't alongside yet, you aren't going to make the pass before the apex, and there's nowhere for you to go but into the car you're trying to pass

I think at 9:50 he moved left before seeing the car, saw the car coming up on the left or realized they were on the racing line and tried to move right out of the way, while the white red bull also turned right. It's also tricky because it's a hill. They might not have seen the white red bull at all.

7:50 Another option for pit entries is for a flag to be set in the game code when you cross that yellow pit entry line. If you go into the pits a penalty is applied for cutting the track: "tHey sAy yoU CUt The COUrSE" etc, etc. However, when you continue that flag is discarded/reset. The performance impact would be negligible, but it might be even less by doing it vice versa (ie. only when you don't cross the line is the flag set) and would mean that lapping the track never enters that code.

Not sure why the thumbnail was oval racing but good vid

@10:58 I done that exact thing on LFM once. One defensive move off and 1 move back to brake the slipstream and no move after that however the driver behind did not like it and reported me so lfm felt the need to give me a penalty lol.

Love this series of videos ❤️ hugs jimmer

In NASCAR at the Glen they don’t really enforce that either. But there’s really never been a problem because the spotters are usually on top of it and the driver will signal with a hand out the window on the straightaway after the carousel as well as drive his car all the way to the left side of the track and back up before the next corner to make sure he gets the message across.

The iRacing pit issue could likely be fixed with a simple true or false (boolean) value. Essentially If Car Crosses the line on that lap set PitEntryCrossed to true if not it would be false. Have a check for that value at the start of the pitlane and if you entered the pitlane and crossed the line you would be warned/penalised. Have that value reset to false upon crossing the finish line or in cases where the line is weird, you could use the pit exit line.

I'm loving these reaction videos

13:00 for this crash the Mercedes dived to the inside when he was turning whereas the t1 crash they were side by side entering it

1:43 Maybe that guy was lagging out, the guy in front saw him (maybe even blinking) and that's why he changed the line to the left.

In Watkins Glen it’s rather annoying as with that Pit Entry as the racing line is on where he is. (Notice the two cars ahead of the guy coming in to pit) 7:15 also if that was NASCAR the car behind would have no indication if the car ahead is slowing down to pit unless the spotter or Crew Chief warns them the car ahead or someone ahead is slowing down to pit at Turn 9 (Final Corner) so maybe if the racing line wasn’t completely in the yellow boundaries of the entrance to pit road the racing line would be like the right side tires shouldn’t be over it. In saying that you will compromise your racing line exiting turn 9 tho as your coming in wider and because turn 9 (The final corner) leads onto the front stretch. So that is solely up to the racing series and the track owners

Referencing your comments at around the 10 minute mark. iRacing was included with a 3 month trial as part of a Humblebundle along with some other racing games.

Jimmer here’s some advice for the ovals: According Nascar themselves essentially unless it was 100% proven intentional (either admittedly or undoubtedly, i.e. going straight in a corner to wreck someone) then it’s a racing incident and you handle it by having a yelling match in the Iracing chat.
