So I have a question about Race C this week. At both turn 1 and the hairpin at the top of the hill I am routinely making overtakes. My technique is generally to get a superior run into the straight and use that plus the slipstream to pull alongside the car in front. This is usually on the inside line, but sometimes I take the outside.
If on the inside (and at least level with the car) I brake slightly early, hit the apex and leave room on the outside on exit. After my most recent race someone told me I need to learn to overtake properly after they needed to take the outside line through turn 1.
My understanding is I’m driving clean, but I am interested in whether that’s the general view. I don’t want to be seen as a dive bomber so please let me know if this would qualify as a dive.
Sounds like fair overtakes to me. Maybe next race you do, save the replay and post a video.
Easy to comment if you do have any clips. But often someone who doesn't yield in an obvious situation, in their desperation to remain ahead, will make a mistake and accuse you of being a dirty driver.
EDIT: A quick example. I over cooked it in to the corner. But both drivers "yielded" to the car on the inside and tried cut backs. Reckless on my part, but hopefully not dirty (open to being corrected on that)
EDIT 2: @NevilleNobody if you're side by side, surely you expect room to be left and likewise you need to leave room, both on entry and exit of the corner. Unless you've edged ahead through the corner.
