So I got some feedback from P1 (who is always P1) when I was leading him. He said I was making it very difficult to pass as I would drift and take away his perferred passing line, which I’m assuming was the inside line. Which I recently (well really only once) started employing after I watched a YT video on defending the night prior to that race and decided to employ it. I began experienting with it with mixed results.
While defending against P1 it seemed to work very well.
While defending P3, he hooked my rear bumper, causing a ton of damage to his brand new kart on its maiden race. Honestly I felt really bad about that.
What you guys are saying makes total sense. It was just one of those unexpected situations I didn’t foresee myself being place in. The math test analogy hammers the point home pretty well. But man-o-man do I like having the test answers a few seconds in advance; because without them (at my level of experience) it was an unsettling feeling.
