You're contradicting yourself.
Your definition clearly says "Allow the following car to pass at the earliest opportunity". This means, leave the racing line to let them pass - not "carry on, they'll sort themselves out"
I'm sorry, but your understanding of the blue flag is incorrect.
Also, I never stated it means "move off the track". It means leave the racing line - when safe to do so - or maintain the line if in a corner.
No.What that means is he must allow the fast car to pass as soon as possible and not "race" against him in any way.Two different things.
It can be done by giving up the racing line OR actually keep the racing line and let the fast car pass using another line without problems.In some series,the "AM" drivers -and even the PRO drivers- (GT3 or FIA WEC) usually do not give up the racing line "moving out of the way" because the officials tell them to "keep the racing line,when they are getting lapped".Want to know why?
Because the safest way to get lapped is to have the most predictable "body" language,so that the fast car would not have to guess where the lapped car is going to go or break in order to let him pass.
Again I ask you,can you point me to an official racing rule -in any major racing series- that clearly states that blue flag=get out f the racing line in order to get lapped?
