It is common knowledge (and I'm fairly certain it's in the LFS Rules of Clean Racing) that the car in front has the right to the racing line and it is up to the overtaking car to pass safely with enough space. Of course, rubbing is racing. I've raced in leagues and on multiple servers over the years and I've encountered many tight battles and some situations that ended a lot worse than that.
In this situation, you took the racing line, as you are entitled to as the car ahead. Azyer underestimated the size of the gap(s) and thus made contact with you. In his position, I would have hesitated to take the gap, stayed on your bumper and drafted you to pass before the following corner where I would then be entitled to the racing line as the car in front. Simple.
We all make mistakes. We're human. Plus the idea of AirSupport is that members get on-track experience and the extended opportunity to learn from more experienced members.
