That's suggesting that the BMW did really turn in while the Porsche was already halfway beside him. In my opinion, there was room to overtake untill the gap was closed and if the BMW driver had used his mirrors he wouldn't have closed that gap.

But just to be clear, personally I also wouldn't have made that passing like the Porsche did, better to be more defensive at speeds like that. And I think most of us here agree on that. Discussion is only about who is more at fault according to the rules in place.

I dont see any room to overtake in any of the images I posted. Nor do I find it possible for the M2 to see the Porsche in his dead spot inside the apex of a left corner, no matter how hard you look in the mirrors at 190kph while a car is hiding inside your dead spot and you re already turning.

It is quite unfathomable actually that a car would sneak up in there in the apex.
