Safe Places to Pass

Oh really?

If you're a good enough driver you wouldn't have to 'nudge' anyone! What do you classify as a nudge paolo? When people are on the limits of their grip and you come through and 'nudge' them on Suzuka it's often enough to put them in the gravel.

That's not 'I'm a good enough driver I can do that' behaviour. What you see as a gap, others see as no gap. What you classify a 'nudge' others see as ramming.

a nudge is what id call a low speed bump nothing powerfull enough to hit him off the track and its also called racing ever heard of it

130R is one of my favourite spots to overtake! I always have high downforce and low weight, i regurlarly take it at 140+ in my S2000, so getting a high speed then most and going off the racing line is generally not a problem, either by going under them just after the Apex or getting a run into the chicane, either way works.

couldnt agree more ive made many paces in that corner and clean ones

Yea if you're like me it can often be the place where you win or come second in a race. I've managed to fit 3 wide round it 2 wide usually runs clean, and thats 3 wide through the whole corner without contact. As long as everyones on there toes and clean drivers.
Infact my race before last i won on 130R by passing in the way i previous described, after the apex.

very nice info! Perhaps, as others have mentioned, you could also do bits on where NOT to pass. The colors can also be changed to sumfink like red (bad), yellow (caution), and green (good).

Any pass should be taken with some degree of caution, even slipstreaming and slingshotting can be dangerous if the other drive tries to take you out.
