The Blame Game is back, after nearly 3 months! This episode takes us back to the Aston National Circuit, with GTR cars crashing all over the place.

You can view the episode at:

Couple of the usual 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 the show, and make sure you post your opinions and suggestions here.

GWD just checked the wall of shame and my god driver B's can never drive lol.

Driver B was clearly the cause of the accident as he tried to push driver A into oncoming drivers at a higher speed but doing that he spun out causing a large crash. Driver A may have been preventing him from getting back on the track but that serves him right trying to push him into faster traffic to gain a position.

Yay, BG is back! I thought its gone for good.
...
B's fault, he was way too aggresive. Typical FXR "i haf 4WD let me thru!!41" driver.

Driver B was being a little too aggressive for as he was passing in the grass.

Nice...as always

I'm sad to ear, that this series is coming to a end
Btw...how about "that" litle project... remember? how's it going?

i voted for both of them. Driver B was too agressive and gone onto grass, and driver A then proceeded to move over to the right and did'nt move over. I think that with driver B being less agressive, and driver A giving him enough room, an accident could have been avoided.

btw, love pendulum granite. One of my favourite songs from them

#EDIT - Updated my last sentence as i got my driver A/B mixed up

It is honestly being worked on, but as I said it is amazingly time consuming! It takes an hour per section and it takes a lot of will to be able to sit down and make it

As for this episode, I agree with Nathan French, although I voted for B

That's an easy one.

Driver B left the racing track and kept pushing to get back on it instead of slowing down.

Driver A didn't have to move over because Driver B wasn't on the track. IMO


And LOL at the very insightful chat transcript.

B... There never was room to safely pass A (in fact there wasn't any at all), so he had to go over the grass right away with a disastrous outcome...

Typical public server mentality, when will they learn a race isn't decided at the start...

imo, drive A should have seen him in the mirror (:P) and pulled across.. well thats what i would have done.. but also if i was driver B i wouldn't have done that anyway soo.. i dont know really. I think i will vote for both in that case

Just wondering from reading the above posts - why didn't you guys vote for "Both Drivers" if you thought both were at fault?

driver A... i voted driver B though... cuz the A needed to leave room in there.. but meh... i rly dunno... so i think its driver a 1/4 and B 3/4

Only Astra said that he didn't.

Yeah, I, for some reason voted B even though I actually wanted to vote for Both. Force of habit I suppose

if you watch closely he did achieve overlap before he got onto the grass
and from his steering movements it doesnt look like he went on the grass on purpose

on the whole id say both of them... a for not giving room on a straight despite the overlap and pure stupidity in cutting deep into a "corner" with another car on the grass that cant do anything else but go straight and b for not taking his foot off after accidentally hitting the grass

and btw i i laughed hard in the pause right after the conversation

The dreaded driver B strikes again. Driver A could of left more room, but he was defending his position and held his line. Driver B should of held off and waited, instead he just floored it through on the grass. Too aggressive and I am not suprised he caused a big crash doing it.

Driver B definately. He was countersteering to keep straight on the grass, found tarmac, gripped and smacked Driver A.

He should've backed off or gone the otherside. After all it was the first lap, before the first corner, no need to be fighting for position straight away.

Check my post.

I thought it was A before seeing all the posts, i thought that B should have backed off and not gone on grass but wasnt given enough room to go anywhere.

Then i saw driver driver A actually put his front wheels on the grass and turn into driver B. bit of both i think but i voted for A.

From the Heli Cam, it shows that driver B had loads of room and went for the grass purposely, but viewing it from his on board camera it looked like he was rubbing against him and staying on the track was out of the question.

You can see driver A turn to block the line, knowing that the only place left for B to go was the grass. From my experience in the FOX at Aston, I know as soon as you go on that grass you've pretty much had it. Driver A knew this.

Driver B should of come off the trottle, and slipped behind driver A.

I voted for both...

Look again at the cockpit cams. Driver A didn't make any turning out of the ordinary other than countersteering from the collision. Driver B was turning left as soon as he got onto the rumble strip, thus making him fly into the other car.

Driver B definatly, he was way too agressive.

The simple fact of the matter is, when the video pauses to indicate which car is which, driver B had cleared the rear bumper of A, while, all four tires where on tarmac. This in my opinion makes driver A responsible because he simply didn't allow the space for driver B. In fact driver A didn't have any/much traffic to the left, he had plenty of room to get over. It's a tough decision but it's pretty clear once you notice driver B cleared driver A's bumper.

However I do think I'm going to have to vote both, nether's actions where justifiable.

I completely agree with that comment

Driver B was crashing A but A was kinda blocking.
So i say both
good video
