iRacing Is anyone at fault here

Car A (#1) is the overtaking car. Car B (#16) is the defending car. - Vortex of Danger

Car A (#1) attempted an aggressive overtaking maneuver in a high-risk area, leading to contact and a subsequent crash with Car B (#16). While Car A could have chosen a safer spot to make the move, Car B left the door wide open, which probably encouraged the attempt. This situation highlights the importance of patience and spatial awareness during overtaking to avoid unnecessary collisions. Both drivers share some responsibility, though Car A bears the majority for initiating the risky move. It is always the responsibility of the overtaking car to make a safe pass.

The exit Vortex of Danger is from apex to track-out — don't squeeze the lead car into it

Actually, #1 is defending and #16 is the overtaking car. But I agree with the assessment. I should not have left so much room to discourage the attempt
