The Blue/Yellow number #9 car drifted into you. He is at fault. Its the responsibility of the overtaking car to pass safely.
Steward Analysis
Incident Analysis: Sim-Racing Steward Report
Timestamps
- 0:05 - Driver A (inside car) begins to move across the track on the straight, initiating a lane change.
- 0:07 - Driver B (outside car) is visible in Driver A’s peripheral vision, maintaining a consistent line.
- 0:09 - Contact occurs as Driver A continues moving over, squeezing Driver B into the wall.
- 0:11 - Both cars lose control post-contact, with significant damage to Driver B.
Rule Violated
- SCCA/BMW CCA
- Peripheral Vision Rule: Drivers must ensure the track is clear before changing lines, using mirrors and peripheral vision to avoid contact.
- One Move on Straights: Drivers are allowed only one significant lateral move on a straight; additional moves must ensure safety and space for others.
Fault Allocation
- Driver A: 90%
- Driver B: 10%
Reasoning
Driver A initiated a lane change on the straight without adequately checking for Driver B, who was clearly in their peripheral vision at 0:07. This violates the peripheral vision rule and exceeds the "one move" allowance by not ensuring a safe maneuver. Driver B maintained their line and had little opportunity to avoid contact, though a slight defensive adjustment could have minimized risk, hence the minor fault allocation. The primary responsibility lies with Driver A for failing to yield space and causing the collision.
