Passing protocol - noob help

[yakapo]

I'm very new at online racing. I've won a few races and I just won my first race with 6 players. I was very nervous on the last lap. I'm learning that I need a few more cars / tunes for different tracks. (which will probably take a while)

Here's my question: what exactly is a clean pass? One of the guys I raced against pulls ahead with a rear drive car and fish tails badly on certain corners.
I can either slow down as much as he does to avoid contact or try and pass. It's frustrating when you are a lot faster in certain corners but you have to keep braking to avoid contact. What's worse is when you finally pass those kind of guys (minimal contact or clean pass) and they pit you at the first corner.

Even if they pit me, I'm not going to pit back. There's always a chance it was by accident. There's no satisfaction in cheating to win anyway. Contrarily - a clean race win against great opponents is very satisfying.

a clean pass is when you overtake someone without contact while managing to stay on the track(no going into the grass/cutting chicanes).

anyhow, if you stay in the same party long enough usually the bad drivers will get voted out and you'll be left with good competition. either that or you can join private parties

Your doing the right thing in avoiding contact, My method is simple. Work out where I am faster and line them up for a pass on that part of the circuit. As for drivers pitting you, that is one of the problems I have with forza. A lot of the drivers don't no how to race.

Its normally not so much a PIT as a car without any apparant braking power, AI tend to do this to, so people tend to think its ok, mke a note of the person and report them to te room host, they will most likely be kicked soon enough.

Most of the times i get pitted it is no doubt its on purpose. Its no fact that most of your times in a public lobby people tend to ram you as soon as you pass them, usually on the first corner after that. That, and people tend to follow your line when you are in front of them and since they have no idea what your breaking points are, they usually mess up and either fly off course or just ram you. Thats what I've noticed with some of my friends as well.
