All good mate it's part of the fun.
Helicorsa is a big help in showing you proximity to other racers around you. grab that app if you don't have it already.

General rule of thumb, to stick a move up the inside you must have approx 3/4 overlap to the car in front, so your front bumper should be along side their front pillar, and you must be able to hold your line without shunting them off theirs or off track.. a little squeeze and rubbing to swap some paint without bending panels is OK.

OP and last weeks results update. Minor impact to teams championship standings.

Round 3 Updated. Sprint round, Brands Indy.

Thanks mate. But I can't match that since the v1.9 update Lost nearly half a second. Plus I will have ballast on raceday.

Eeeeeepic racing tonight with @Tovey_4saken and then @Cherno in each race.

Bit of a shake up again in Div 2 championship this week.
In the teams champ TTB manage to hold onto the top spot despite a below average points haul, but still faired better than HTO who are now floundering at the bottom from leading after the first round, hampered this week DNSs so only 3 drivers scoring points for the team.
