What if it was their intent to "outbrake" the ahead car and caused contact? At what point in the pass does the passer become the ahead car?


:D:lol: No, fool. Didn't want to @ Ed or ed on the forum so stuck a space in there.

For the second question, I'd say once the passer is completely ahead of the car they were passing, and that they are exiting the corner with stability. I'm not sure the best answer to the first question, other than try to avoid contact at all costs.

@LLOYDZELITE69 I just watched your YouTube video "from 14th to 1st in one lap" and that was just fantastic. I know it helped a lot 90% of the racers making those corners wide as heck while you take perfect race lines but I was truly amazed. Do you teach?
:D
 
Just a heads up to anyone that has a submitted time trial. I'm waiting on the steward summary to be posted so that I can do all the updates to the driver's list at one time. Everyone will be receiving their placement message no later than Sunday morning (pacific time). Thank you for your patience.

Agreed with @JLBowler. The posts where people are calling out other drivers here are getting ridiculous. If you think you're doing the right thing in posting about it, you're not a part of the solution. Take it to PMs, find a solution there, and be done with it. This doesn't look good on SNAIL when this seems to happen each and every day. Grow up.

And the worst part of it with this batch is that it's guys who aren't even showing up and racing on Sunday nights.
 
Again, in case you you did not hear me the first time

ATTENTION ALL DIVISION 6 DRIVERS
I will be hosting division 6 on Sunday night. Our regular host has asked that he be excused due to connection problems as of late, and our backup will not be around this weekend. Please ensure that you send a friend request if i am not already on your list or you will not be able to race. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

9: Defensive Driving:

A:
Leading cars have the right to choose their own line down a straight. They can change their racing line once while driving down a straight (Move from the outside line to the inside, or vice versa). As they approach the next corner, they can return to the racing line of their choice. However, they are not allowed to change their line when the behind driver is directly behind and changes his line to try and make a pass. If your movement causes an accident, you are responsible.


This happens quite often inn public rooms.

I used up my practice time today on the Red Bull TT :ouch:. Anyone that knows me will understand I couldn't resist the temptation of some Red Bull. Hopefully can meet up with the chill lounge later tonight.

The " CHILL LOUNGE" was awesome tonight!:cheers: Thanks for hosting Wolf!:cheers:
 
May I suggest that a Probation List be "published" each week? I know my memory "ain't what it used to be" - but I had completely forgotten that I was on probation.
I know "personal responsibility" - it's My Job to care enough to be aware of it, and motivated enough to get off the list.
But it would help if I was reminded each week.

Don't think it would become a "SNAIL's MOST WANTED" or "SNAIL's WORST DRIVERS" list.

Just a thought - and one that was probably presented, discussed and dismissed in the past.

Oh well, back to trying to make the jumps at Cape Ring without hitting someone.

At the moment, the process for finding out the details of your probation consist of contacting your division steward, or me, and we'll let you know your current probationary state.
