There wouldn't be a way to really gauge whether that move was performed intentionally or not so while it's not within the spirit of most racing rules it's not something that can get you penalized unless it's obvious to tell.
I don't like that strategy at all. I've never even heard of someone describing that move in practice. I've only seen drivers knock eachother out trying to get 'round in the last lap of a close race, not used as some high level maneuver. Maybe in police chase videos or Nascar.
One should try everything they can to not touch at all and if I was in front it's up to me to stay as stable as possible, we should all be prepared to get unsettled by any sort of contact but it shouldn't be expected that we might have to deal with intentional bumpage. But like I said, it can't be regulated really so we'd have to use the honor system, each racer knows what they're doing and what they did.
Good racing doesn't come from setting out as many rules as possible trying to get everyone in the same mentality. Just like in society every driver has their own personality and will react to situations completely different than the person racing next to them.
Good racing comes over time, just like learning to go fast. Although now in order to have cleanly you just have to practice driving with other people. After a while it will get a lot better so I won't tend to complain early on.
There's just two major things to keep in mind when racing:
1 - Races are never won in the first corner but they are often lost there.
2 - Your braking points change when driving behind someone, you must adapt or you will run into them.
Overtaking is pretty obvious in knowing when a good time is. Everyone should know when passing's a bad idea on a certain part of a track.

//I would only agree with a penalty system that only disqualifies guilty offenders. I don't think a system that changes finishing positions around works.
Here's a little system I came up with. It's based on levels and it's just a start. Anyone can feel free to add different offenses or change it. Just a suggestion for what sort of penalties can be dished out.
\\Level 1\\
A. If you're caught in the act of intentional ramming you will receive a three spot grid penalty for the following. (More less?)
B. After an on track incident you should do your best to remove yourself from the racing area. You must be off track before you remove yourself from the session.
Only attempt to drive to the pits for repair if it is completely safe to do so considering the other drivers.
If you are driving to pit-in on track and cause a collision because of being in the racing line you will be posted three spots back from your qualifying position in the following race.
\\Level 2\\
A. If you take a shortcut through a track, pass someone (accidentaly or not) and not give the position back you will receive a drive through penalty in the following race to be served anytime within the first half of the race distance or be disqualified. ( You can only serve this penalty in the first half of the race distance. The mandatory pit stop does not qualify.)
B. Intentionally blocking a higher class vehicle will award you a drive through penalty for the next race to be served anytime within the first half of the race distance or be disqualified.
(This will be determined case by case. Good rule of thumb could be that if a GT300 car intentionally moves out of their racing line in order to block a GT500 car repeatadly within two laps it's against regs. Blocking due to two GT300 cars attempting to overtake eachother does not count, the GT500 car must find a way around the battle)
\\Level 3\\(Minor offenses)
A. Leaving your damaged car in the racing area due to neglagence or during one's attempt to exit the race will give you a ten second penalty subtracted from your official finishing time of the following race.
Finishing order for DNF classified drivers will be arranged by race distance covered. The first driver to exit the race due to damage or connection loss will be placed last in the standings for that race session. The last driver to DNF will be first among the DND classified drivers and ranked accordingly within their respective class.
Final official finishing order will be determined after in-depth review of the race in question quickly following the end of the contest.
Committing any of the first level offenses twice in the same session will have you disqualified from the standings of the stated race.
Committing any of the second level offenses twice will give you a five spot grid penalty for the next race.

Good post Wardez. Though I think penalties should be enforced right after the race. In
the form of positions, seconds, or laps (added/subtracted) to your final time. That way,
on the next race, you start of with a clean slate and you don't have to worry about
planning when you will have to serve a pass through penalty. It will also be added work
for the stewards to check the replay if you actually served your penalty.
We'll see how everyone thinks about a penalty system.
I'm trying to find info about the penalty system imposed on the real life Super GT series.
Anyone have any links?

Anyone know the max hp on a stock GT500 car?
Currently I have 518hp on the Calsonic GT-R with plenty of miles on the odometer. One user claims he has 533 on a Xanavi GT-R. I'll have to check with him on the mileage on the car.
I know one user reports the Enos SC430 to have 511hp as well.

My gt-r has done it's fair share of oil changes. After my b-spec gets off I'll do a number of oil changes to see if it raises it some more but I've done one every hour for the past 5 or so hours.
I can see the SC430hp as being attainable from what I've seen but 533hp seems a bit high for the GT-R.

I just looked at the mods avail for the Calsonic GT-R. There's no way the HP can add up to 533 so I'm really interested in how many miles the guy has got clocked to hit 533hp! lol. I'm gonna do single laps of fuji and try to do as many oil changes as possible. I want this done now!

I am up for participating in the practice at the weekend, with a view to joining the series. I will be in a RE Amemiya Asparadrink RX7 '06. 👍
As for the gentleman's rule, surely that should apply to cars being lapped rather than cars racing for position, not that I would put up much defence against a GT500 if it was clearly going faster.
