On my fist day racing, veteran drivers told me no to move or change lanes if they catched me. "We will get around you", they said. I remebered that seeing this video...
That’s what mirrors are for. Just like normal traffic, people don’t use them. It’s so irritating. In this case it can cost a position or a few seconds.
Thx for sharing, pretty cool. I have zero idea why they put the FV on the track at the same time as the higher level purpose built race cars, there is way too much speed differential for it to be safe.
I knew one guy who was running nationals and incredibly slow and would always move off line for the faster drivers He had a guy to race with which is cool but on our small 2 mile track theyd get lapped 4 or 5 times When the leaders would catch them on the straight hed move off line and the leaders would have the entire track blocked the entire straight line
Oh my God, the freaking back markers! This video was so frustrating with the driver getting blocked by slow traffic that just let the red car through. Just endlessly having to catch back up. I’d want to get out and choke somebody. Probably why I’m not a race car driver.
Geez, dangerous driving around you (and choice of cars for the same run group). SLOWER CARS--- NEVER TRY AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. Hold your line and faster traffic will go around you. Much safer if you are predictable on your racing line. Each scary near miss was a slower car trying to get out of the way and causing issues.
