Mike-S Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 @hugh each to their own on the overtaking preferences, but then you’re a racing driver so overtaking round corners and under brakes is normal 😉 I for one would never do that, I’ve seen too many overtakers be clobbered by the overtakee as one or the other understeers or oversteers into oblivion. Keep that for test days when it’s a bunch of race drivers, not the fun days. Mentioning in the briefing to back off down the straights if there’s a car in your mirrors that wasn’t there a few corners ago, or has been behind for a few corners is a great idea. hugh and polorot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 19January, 2021 Report Share Posted 19January, 2021 4 hours ago, Simonk said: I could only do it on the corners because I had the slowest car on track and people don't seem to want to back off on the straights to let me pass. In the end it was easier to back off and create a gap until I caught up again. Yep, people tend to boot it down the straight and you just catch up with them at the next corner. Happens to me all the time in my 3.0L. Agree sometimes is best to back off if people are reluctant to back off on the straight and let you past. 3 hours ago, Shedpest said: I thought it was all the way up or all the way down just not halfway? Maybe different tracks have different rules This is typically the rule, does depend on who is running the day. A lot of clubs now only let you have windows down if you have a window net. 1 hour ago, Redracn said: I hear the comment that the faster car will find a way past all the time but I would like to suggest that if a car was not behind a few corners ago and it is there now then it is lapping faster which does not necessarily mean in a straight line so to help slower straight line speed cars that are faster overall just easing of the throttle a bit down the straight makes it much easier for them to get by in the safest location. Yes the faster lapping car can probably get past somewhere around the track but best to invite them to do it down the straight. From my experience the single best thing a slower car can do is be predictable and sticking to the correct line is the best way to do this even if you hold up the car behind for a few corners. Following a faster car for a few corners can be educational and following a slower one is often entertaining😁 This is very true. Agree that just sticking to your line and being considerate of the faster drivers (note not necessarily faster cars!) is key. 7 minutes ago, Mike-S said: Mentioning in the briefing to back off down the straights if there’s a car in your mirrors that wasn’t there a few corners ago, or has been behind for a few corners is a great idea. Definitely worth mentioning, especially for those of us in slower cars. At the end of the day, the whole aim of the day is to provide a place where everyone feels comfortable enough to enjoy their cars safely.
