Good on you for taking the time to report an incident. I think most of us are willing to learn from a mistake, even if it takes a suspension here and there to learn that a certain action isn't acceptable.  

Had my first race at Spa last night and I survived the first turn only for someone to kamikaze into me on the straight leading into eau rouge. Then after losing loads of positions down the straight after eau rouge a back marker took out my back end on the next chicane and I spun off. Still, good overtaking practice working back up from the back of the pack..


Well, I haven't reported the incident as I have to be certain first, and I probably won't in this instance. It may be that the other party just didn't know where I was, because a view through one PC screen(assumed) isn't the same as full view like real life, or even VR, so I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. He did though, have the benefit of red arrows telling him that a car was there next to him, and possibly the aid of helicorsa, plus, to be honest, if he wasn't just being petulant because he was overtaken, if he has a racing brain then he should have had better situational awareness. He may have been very sorry about it, but there's no way (is there?) in race to tell me that.
I know it sounds like I'm making a mountain out of a mole-hill, after all, online racing does mean idiotic moves by many drivers, with no physical harm or financial cost to the guilty like real world racing would deliver , but the reason I have moved to SRS (and Racedepartment) is in the hope of enjoying mature racing and where bad driving is addressed like in iRacing.
Overall though, it really is great fun, and much better than solo practice and time-trials which is all I have been using my Sims for up to now.
