Atfer a large break, after much searching through other people's replays, I have produced the fifth episode of The Blame Game.
The episode can be found here:

The TBG homepage is here:

Think carefully, post comments and suggestions in the thread, and please follow these simple rules:

DO NOT name particular drivers when making your point; if you recognise a driver in the crash, do not mention the driver's name.
DO NOT act aggressively to other members who voice a different opinion; we all know how heated accident debates get in game so let's not bring it onto the forum as well.

Enjoy!

Oh Balls, I spelled the thread title wrong. Could a moderator change it to "Episode" please?

B's fault.

He goes too close to A at the first apex and touches him, which gives him a difficult line at the second apex and causes the accident. If B had given a slightly larger margin to A's car he probably would've made it around both corners but still lost the position.

I think if A had given another car's width of room at the second apex, B still would've hit him. He didn't look likely to make it safely around that corner.

Your chat transcripts are hilarious by the way.

A had achieved significant overlap on the first curve, B no longer maintained significant overlap on the second curve (until it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late).

Fairly clear really, he should have watched the replay.

overall driver its driver B's fault. he/she didnt want to back down even though they'd lost at corner entry. driver B slightly tapped driver A which made driver A a little more willing to make contact . Driver A didnt leave any room, but driver B had already hit driver A and thrown him slightly offline and thrown off the balance of the car.

Im sure B said he/she did all they could to avoid a crash..you can see on the brake meter(dunno what its called) he/she doesnt press down untill he/she hits him :S

i dunno what else to say so ill just quote you and act like its my post

Driver B, no doubt! B couldn't possibly pass A back at the 2nd apex, because on the line and at the speed he was, his track-out was already occupied by A. The only way he could have avoided the accident was by lifting and tightening the corner.

i would say B...
A was clearly in front of B be4 the first apex
B should have backed off a bit when he saw B already passed him..
a bit risky for driver B to regain the position

B for sure. He should not be passing since A is already at the inside of the apex.

It looked like A realized B clipped him and tried to let him go first, but B ended up still ran into A anyway.

B's fault. After a first small contact B and going off the track he/she could easily avoid second contact bight slight braking and steering correction

B his fault fur sure he should have braked and step of the gas

B!

Watch The Replay Lalala

i think now that B has been voted to be the one to blame 4 out of 5 times its time to ban that guy for good

Lol!

lalalalalalala - WATCH THE REPLAY!

B's fault.

Driver B's fault, he should have pushed the brake imo
I would have done that

Definetely driver B's fault. Driver A got ahead of him for the first corner, and gave driver B plenty of room incase he tryed to take driver A up the inside. If you look at the cockpit view of driver B, you will notice that he did'nt brake until he hit driver A, and driver B hardly turned into the corner, he kept his wheel about straight :/

B... 2 mistakes on his part: 1. He didn't left enough room at the first apex and hit A even though he was on the grass (I know that most people drive through the grass there, but still), which then put B on the grass at the second apex, where 2. he still didn't slow down and thus crashed...

This is a toughy. I've gone for racing incident here. There was definitely no intentional contact, the passing moves were not overly aggressive and I really believe a race steward in any form of racing would hand out a penalty for that incident.

It happens very quickly, very little time for anyone to react, so I'm not blaming anyone for this.

P.S. Astra, whens the album coming out? Lalalalalaaaaaaa.....

I am gonna say racing incident here, both were commited to the chicance, neither wanted to conceed position, 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other IMO.

It's driver B's fault, he didn't concede the corner, he didn't change his line (twice). (Shades of Pirro/Dumas ALMS @ Detroit :P)

A is also a nab for arguing and disconnecting shortly afterwards

I think I need to go with the majority on this one.
A's pass on the first corner was a bit gutsy and did force B wide, but it was a clean move.
On the second corner, B should have braked when he saw A in front and on the line. There was plenty of room to move right and let him go, and the car wouldn't even have needed jerked.

Sadly A's attitude after the crash didn't really do him any favours.

I'd have to say a bit of both on this one. Yes A had clearly made the pass but he went so slowly through the second corner B ran into him. On the other hand all B had to do was lift or brake slightly & the accident would have been avoided.

So close to call I put it down to crap driving .
