I've got a severely close overtaking shot but it was taken in GT5 unfortunately, I haven't had any real close overtaking just yet in 6 but when I do....
Doesn't have to be too close - though in fact a little 'legal' rubbing may be permitted. The exercise here is to plan and execute, or find (while racing in real time) an opportunity to make, if not a 'perfect' pass, a pass that has some sort of spectator value - while retaining the spirit of racing cleanly . . . and well.
In addition to this if the overtake is at a crucial corner, or even a well-known straight, it will show off that section of the track. The choice of cars used adds to the interest.
Time of day and weather are other factors that will enhance mood, lighting, and the actual overtake - again all factors that will add to the drama (and the lesson) in the sequence of pictures.
The corkscrew at Seca is a great place for an overtake. Try it. And let's see your little drama.
You aren't unfamiliar to me - so I am most certainly looking forward to what you will cook up.

Meanwhile, I have a few other interesting overtakes, with certainly interesting vehicles, but I'll let you guys fill up here a bit first - no hurry - GT6 is still warm.
In fact . . . blazing.
