Perfect setup for my dilemma. The same could be said for Gr 3 Beetle drivers. I drive a VW Scirocco and pride myself on being a clean driver.
Like the Beetle, the Scirocco is almost never the META. It has, though, the best braking capability and so I want to rightly exploit that advantage. Otherwise, why bother? The Dunlop Hairpin and the Coca Cola turn are great opportunities. Drivers rarely cover the inside there:
- probably it is too costly for the following straight,
- a late brake attempt is not expected, and,
- the relative rareness of the VW.
I have managed several clean-no-contact-no-run-wide passes. For Dunlop just get in the slip and get to the inside curb. For Coca Cola just manage a tighter exit on the preceding chicane and couple that with the lead car taking the wide-all-the-way-up-the-curb QT line - well they are just conceding the spot before the pass even happened. <wife> Little Guppy has become rather arrogant don't ya think</wife>
I hope I get to race against you as I would like to try it out and you can judge
