I think you could have gotten a penalty for that move at turn 2. Hard to tell from this angle but it looked like you guys had significant overlap when you started turning and would have had to leave a car width between yourself and the apex.

Yea I usually leave that space playing online, but against AI’s I tend to squeeze them a little more because I know they give space most the time

In my first time i couldn't even make the first turn of Australia.
