If you knock someone off line and hold back initially but immediately stick your nose back into a gap that's not there you're not racing fair IMO.
To be totally honest it ends up being my downfall in some of the bigger races, especially mid to back of the pack in national A's where these days fair racing seems to have taken a back seat in favour of winning at all costs. It's a shame there's so few people at the sharp end you can have a fair/proper race with now  |
Says it all Rich, well put. If you hit someone and go past, that's not racing, it's being a thug. When you race with people fairly and properly it is much more fun. Why do people want to bully their way to the front when no one cares or remembers who wins the Z Final, but they always remember a great race between good drivers? Beats me....
