Here's a small lesson in racing logic, because a few of you certainly need it.
We'll make up a turn for this exercise in thought. Note its similarity to turn 1 at the 'Ring.
Now, the racing line for this turn is pretty simple: brake on the outside, turn in, clip the apex, power out. However, being the first turn of the track, there is extra room to the inside. The red car will show us the racing line.
Now the red car goes to do this in the race. However, there is a very impatient driver in the blue car behind him. The blue driver decides that it would be a good idea to force a move up the inside. Because the red car turns in to the apex, the cars make contact.
If the blue driver were more patient, they would realize that it is best to follow the red car's line, and perhaps try to gain an advantage exiting in order to minimize the time lost for both drivers in the pass attempt.
I feel like this was one of the biggest problems today. If someone tries to take the racing line, they have one or more cars decide it's time to make a move. This just ends up costing everyone time, making a frustrating race for all parties involved. Be patient and take time to set up moves. If you want people to race you cleanly, race them cleanly. It's the golden rule.
while you see other cars fly through the pack(like me in Clio Cup yesterday).
