I figured you might have that reaction but I thought it funny (and accurate).
Ooops wrong driver… starting over
Ok I get your point. You want to see overlap such that the other fella knows he’s cooked or at least in big trouble. Your problem with my passes is that they are kinda sendy. I’m annoying in that I’m taking space that you don’t think I’ve earned and that’s good feedback. I understand what you mean from the examples above you wrote. All of it makes sense.
I dunno. I totally agree that he had no line of sight on me. I also agree that I was naughty going under, but not taking that opening seems like a mistake. Backing off to let him come back down to apex would make things spicy from behind. But, it could create new opportunities.
However, this ain’t a dive bomb. It’s a “don’t mind if I do”. I did not touch him. He came down on to me. (since he was unaware, and rather undramatically). I then made sure he had enough room for the chicane and we went two wide through.
I did the same against 47 at 7:29. Except here, he knows I’m there since he’s been head on swivel the whole time. Still sends it wide.
I’d do it again, I think.
However, I have much to digest in terms of what next race looks like. I suspect I shall listen to you guys and attempt to remove tippy taps and unhinged stuff.
I guess the question is one of ethics. This is gonna be tough because I’d like to think I’m ethical and empathetic. Racing complicates matters.
Didn’t he lose the right to hold that line? He fell off. Man this gets hard to square. At some point you have to make a cutoff in terms of behaviors.
, but riddle me this; last lap, and that’s your son Nick leading the race in front of you. You have superior mid-corner speed, so you turn left to go straight to the apex. But milliseconds later you realized that based on both of your speeds, locations, and trajectories you are going to collide at the apex. Would you carry on, bang your RF into his LR, and escort him out of your way, or would you recognize/accept the compromised position you have put yourself in, lift, and try to attack him at another turn?
. She is assertive and likely is gonna improve a bunch quick! She’s doing well with the bumpy bumpy and seems down to throw down. So, what’s your best guess as to how long before she smokes you on track?
