Okay, so it's defined as a "full lift off". This means take your foot off the pedal and put it back on. The bar on screen should go completely empty before you get back on it.
The only issue is when moving off the racing line, the trailing driver might follow for a draft, not realizing what you're about to do. Keyword: might.
The point is you're not lifting with a car flat out behind you. You are moving over and then lifting. To be clear this is all a discussion on the chances you were forced to stay on track when you've gone OB. The first course of action when OB is to stay off the track until it's safe to return...I know it's not a brake, I mean it's like a brake in that letting off the gas on a main straight when someone right behind you is going flat out is gonna potentially cause a problem.
Let it be known to everyone that if a driver blatantly moves off the racing line that the driver is going to let off the gas to concede.

In my practice runs I came to the conclusion... these are fun combo's but not easy! It's going to be a crapshoot to vote one off.
As mentioned in earlier posts... let's stay in bounds.
The 2 corners at Silverstone where you gain considerable advantage by going out of bounds are Copse (after back straight) and Club (into home straight). I will be reviewing those for all.
Also Madrid the exit on the first hairpin. The curbing on the right on the exit is OOB. Make sure you have at least 2 tires on track
Good luck and great racing tonight!
This is per JLBowler's post: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/snail-olr-policies-and-guidelines.332619/#post-10892800
Circuito de Madrid - The white line and striped area at the exit of pit road is not considered a track boundary. The white line on the outside of the exit of the first hairpin can be ignored. Your car's left side tires must be on or inside the rumble strips.
I read this as, two tires on rumble strips. Not rumbles are out of bounds. We may want to clarify before racing tonight.
The best passing zone is after that anyways. With the draft you will be passing people by the kink to the down hill section.Yes, it's a very tricky exit to negotiate cleanly. Lots of time can be gained and lost in the hairpin. Lap 1 could be a nightmare with 13 cars barreling down towards it. Take it easy on lap 1 through there. You not going to win the race on lap 1.
I prefer bottles to draft. Enough of 'em and I'll try passing anywhere.The best passing zone is after that anyways. With the draft you will be passing people by the kink to the down hill section.
But if you had draft you could hook up a dispensing unit and connect it to your helmet! Hands free drunk!I prefer bottles to draft. Enough of 'em and I'll try passing anywhere.

Thanks for the clarification JL...even I had missed the specific difference here regarding specifically 2 left tires.It is meant exactly the way it is written. The word "two" is not anywhere in there.
Your car's left side tires must be on or inside the rumble strips.
Inside means to the side of the racing surface. This is a rather unique spot in that there are two sets of rumble strips that have a break while the white line continues. This is the reason for the different definition of what you need to do to stay in bounds.
