Ammendment to Rules and Regs for season 13

I used to be infamous for tow prevention, until I realised it only made me slower and use my tyres more!

Yeah exactly swerving don't do nothing for you anyway.

Cool,just to clarify,can you move back to take your line provided you leave a cars width on outside,aka F1? e.g one move across to block,then one move back provided you're still in front & leave car width.

i found i gained staying straight and concentrating on brakepoint!

Cool,i understand fully,good examples for people are probably the non-pens & pens from the Spa F1 round,from overtaking into Les Combes at the end of Kemmel straight. There were 2 examples,both investigated,one penalised,one not.

I used to do that alot last year, but that was to avoid the people in the lobby races that would take me out if they got close lol.

I don't like it now, it looks desperate and gives the impression you will ram everyone off the road before you let them past.

Lmao

The way I see it emmo, you are allowed one line change from the line you are on which 99% of the time would be the racing line as you describe. Am I wrong Stu?

Staying on the racing line isn't considered a move.

Would be interesting if GT6 had terminal damage...might stop people trying to pull moves that aren't there. Might also cost someone their race when they did nothing wrong...would add to the realism though in many ways.

doubt it, it will make it worse if Forza has anything to go by.

That's excellent mate,well found,i trawl Youtube Sim Race vids all the time,& hadn't come across that one!

I'd say so,that's like i was saying unless you drive all the way along a straight on one sides edge or the other,and stay there,you must leave a car width on the side you moved from if you move back,so as not to create contact,or push the other driver off track.If a car is alongside on the outside,you just maintain your line,and brake to hold them out there,if you do it correctly,the other driver has no choice but to give in,& should he not,he'll end up of track,or because you can get to the apex & he can't,you'll get a half car length at least,and be on the power earlier,enabling you to run out to the edge of the track,provided you don't cause contact,or run the other car off the road. Unless they're a moron,once you've held them out wide on entry,they'll then switch to try the criss-cross,which you can defend by "parking" your car on the apex,meaning slightly over brake,with the emphasis on SLIGHTLY,making him brake AGAIN (you'll notice his nose dip if you watch your mirror),at which point you jump on the throttle,and done correctly,get good breathing space for the next cnr to pick your braking point.
That's just a summary of the first chapter of a book i read ten years ago on racecraft,but it is still and probably will be relevant always in racing,at least until we start racing spaceships anyway! LOL
Hope that makes things clear as grey sand,cause it is and always will be a grey area,debated hotly by opposing views!!!! ROTFLMFAO!!

If you put damage and penalties on heavy,the damage is only cleared by a pitstop. If you,ve done enough damage,you won't be able to drive there,and there is no tow truck,so you're out of the race. As you pointed out though you can be taken out by someone else,but generally if all are racing with the i can't wreck attitude,it doesn't happen much,but when it does,often both parties know what happened,and the one in the wrong normally apologies straight away.Really it's the same in I-Racing,if someone runs up your rear,you still get safety rating deduction,and damage,even if it wasn't your fault!
