I drive whit the ROOF cam (or the Hood view in case). Its the best view for me, but. i hate it becaus it does not have a rear mirror like the bumber view.

Its very difficult to deffend your position online. I can't block people on fair way becaus i don't know from whit side they attack.:ouch:

That's actually a pretty good point. It's also kind if hard to race clean when driving in roof cam view because of the lack of mirrors. 99 percent of the time I drive in roof cam.
 
The Sauber C9 needs a roof cam. Instead it basically has 2 bumper cams, WTF? And yes it would really help as you would be able to see whereabout the other cars are. Avoiding accidental collisions would be great.

Blocking is considered a dirty driving technique. Some people don't care, but eventually you're going to find yourself in a room where people are clean racers and they are not going to be happy. Don't be surprised if you are told you're driving dirty or you get mysteriously kicked out "for no reason."

Blocking is a perfectly legal and acceptable racing technique in just about any form of racing I can think of.

Other than that, yes, a mirror would be nice for other views. Also, work on your spelling/typing. For example, it's bumper, not bumer or bumber.
 
If the car is faster than you, u can't block... you can keep the racing line, but u can't weave in and out to prevent over taking..

Like Freedomweasel says, Blocking is a perfectly legal and acceptable racing technique. Its allowed in almost all forms of racing.

depends how fast the car behind is. If he is more or less has the same speed it can be very a fun fight. if he is seconds faster it has no use to defend.

If the car is already one lap ahead and is passing you again, it's stupid to block. But if someone is catching you, of course you weave left and right to prevent him passing!

That's very acceptable technique.

Blocking is allowed ONCE time. Actually is not allowed, but you can change your direction in order to follow your "desired" line. You can use this (cause you can chose even a "stupid" driving line) to block the driver after your car. But you can't change TWO times your direction, because this is blocking, not preparing next corner (And blocking is not allowed).
You can change your direction one time, but if the car after yours has the front in line with your rear, you MUST leave free rom, so you can't change your direction without leaving space to the other car. You can't cross his line. So if two cars are taking a corner at same time, one has to do it out-out-out, and the other in-in-in. No one can do out-in-out (normal line) while driving one besides the other.

Very true. This are the F1 rules. but i thought in some race forms its allowed to use weaving(more than once). and in some race forms you have to stay on the driving line.
