Great video!
 
LOL I stopped halfway through... Every pass you made required you to either bump the guy in front of you, or you dived inside and used them to get extra grip.

LAME
 
He punted the corvette at about 2:00 after it returned from being ghosted, but the remaining passes were due to other cars making mistakes. The black car at 2:40 was questionable but he wasn't leaning on him. He just ducked inside and stole the passing lane just as the black car was about to pull around the red car.

i know some passes may look suspect. but trust me im a fair and clean racer. the Corvette punt was a matter of bad timing from him being ghosted. before passing the black car on the inside, notice how i gave him the turn so that i could come in at a greater speed and passing him.. i did not use him for grip, if that was the case i would have pitted him on the wall which i didn't because he was right behind me after the pass and still on his line. he did not use the whole track on the turn, after the turn he tried to pass the jaguar on the left but i was already there. so your point of me using him as grip is null, that was a clean pass, and still after that i gave up the next turn to the jaguar.. also check the top left video, you can clearly see me brake on the car i hit, in the rear, aside from the car that was ghosted i never hit or pushed anyone off the track.

if you watched the rest of the video you would see that, if i wanted to punt or push the jaguar, i could have, seen as i had many opportunities to do so. but that's not me,. a little bump here and there isn't to bad. especially in a tight track like nur.

Watching the whole video shows your sportsmanship for sure. I was just trying to make a further analysis and play devils advocate. It is very tough to pass at the ring unless someone makes a mistake so you have to follow close and be ready to pounce. When cars ghost you really dont know when they will return so sometimes you can get away with driving through them and other times it ends badly.

thanks, i was mainly stating to the guy who posted before you, who said its was lame, without looking at the whole video and jumping to conclusions. well, i guess to each his own right?
 
NIce race, all good in a little bump here and there. At the end that Other S2k ghosted and drove through you, that was kind of lame. Also for a long time it seemed like you where pushing the red car along cause you where pressed against him for a long time.

All in all a good race. The rules of that track is for slower traffic to move to let faster cars pass. Clearly a few people didn't obey that rule in that race.
 
That rule is for public driving in real life, it does not pertain to races. If you can hold someone up by racing an inconvienent line, that is just good racing. Sometimes you really dont know if the car behind is faster or if it is just the draft making it appear that way.

It's the faster cars responsibility to get by cleanly - it's not the slower cars responsibility to let him by. It's the slower cars responsibility to be predictable and clean so that if the trail car is faster, he can get by without issue.
 
I lol'd at the end when the other s2000 tried plowing you through the turn after the straights. Good driving, getting lucky towards the end not to spin on the grass. Lots of other cars took themselves out of the race which gave you a great advantage.

yeah i though that was kind of lame on his part.. dont know what he was thinking. i clearly had the line locked down. and hitting that turn on the outside is not recommended.

on the turn where i went on the grass, i just let it coast, i knew if i did anything i would have lost control of the car.. i got lucky
