Meh, it happens. I probably should have been less aggressive and tried to go on the inside instead of outside out of 11.
I had spoken to the driver in question after I had a similar, longer lasting issue in one of my races (I think R1?). Super nice guy and he's trying to get up to speed in a new car/environment; he did a lot better after getting through the first race or two. Also had an issue with another AI driver that parked it in front of me in T13/14 then blew me away on the front straight.
I took Will's advice and approached these drivers directly, and it worked well. I'm not at all bothered about it at this point, as I am still learning how to be more assertive and execute passes on slower in-class cars, which would help if I'm ever stuck behind another new "blocking" out of class car in the future.
We probably need to do a better job as a group on educating newcomers about out of class racing and watching mirrors, as this issue comes up every time we have a (much needed) group of new guys come into AI to race with us, but overall this weekend was a lot better than Cresson.

That is a painful way to lose.
Yep-I know the feeling.

I offered to give the position back to Jander after the race. I have been thinking a lot about it since, what do you guys think about these situations? I've been burned many times by lap traffic and I just have to deal with it, seems like thats how racing goes.
It's just part of the deal. Kyle Busch (the GOAT) got hosed yesterday and cost him the possible win after he was three inches inside the commitment yellow box. "Ball and Strikes"

That is just a part of racing. No need to feel bad about it.
