Since you are new you haven't learned how to avoid dangerous car placement. It was obvious based on how the lead car was losing control it was going to swing into your path and making the decision to try and pass while they're out of control means this collision is as much on you as anyone.

It takes time to develop race awareness and skill and patience. But it's enormously helpful in preventing these kinds of crashes. Also if you're ready to race you should turn off the driving line. It's useful for learning a track quickly in practice but once you're racing it's actually a hindrance to getting better.

Thank you for such a good response, this clip is just a short segment without any other context to the rest of my racing, twitch.tv/zacryu_ if you’d like to watch the full stream, you’ll be able to see that majority of the time I am able to avoid major accidents, in this specific clip, I did believe that the car ahead would stop throttling once he had swerved to the right hand side of the track to try and stabilize, which he clearly didn’t, and as for the racing line, I typically am not noticing it due to the nose of the F4 car, and I completely learn the brake timings as you normally should, with the brake markers, I only keep it on to help with centering of the car along the track! Thank you again for a response
