Blue flag collision, who was at fault?
Discussion
There is some debate surrounding this "hit" during a race at Knockhill.

The silver BMW was being lapped (blue flags waving) by the in-car Radical.
Who was in the wrong here?

To add my own opinion. Many passes are made on that section of track, every race, so I reject the "its too tight" argument. Its a race and not a track day.
The radical was alongside to the point of being in front when the BMW turned in and hit. Looking at the Radical's position it couldn't have left more room - he had climbed the kerb to ensure there was plenty of space for both cars.
Ignoring the blue flags - this is a pass during a race, if the passing car gets alongside you can't continue to turn in as if he weren't there.
