Getting tangled up with a cock who wont let you by would kinda be bad strategy and I could see how if he tried to force the issue that it would have ended real badly. Watch the long straight. The Viper is a faster car than the Porsche, no doubt, and he didn't get past him on a straight. I can understand backing off in a corner to stay out of the Armco, but on a long straight, he should have been able to pass. The guy in the Porsche, though, did exactly what I was thinking the Viper should have done - brake a little later, pass on entry, and stay in front.

The Viper at that point backed off due to a yellow flag being waved and a accident up ahead - The Porsche overtook him back under that same yellow flag - the Viper did exactly the right thing in backing off. The Porsche did something very wrong on a race track - you must NOT continue at race speeds and you do NOT race nor overtake. And that is a "MR Steward of the event is going to have some words with you Mr Driver - and Mr Steward will be communicating said words with a baseball bat". "I didnt see said flag" is not an excuse. Ignoring yellow is usually the kind of offense they tell you to take you car and gently caress off home.

Both of them passed under yellow, so while I agree that it's wrong, it doesn't disprove my theory that the guy driving the Porsche was a better driver.

On that pass on the BMW, they would be excused - the speed differential was too great and that would have made not passing much more dangerous, There would be no time to slow down - thence that is allowed. - but you clearly hear the Viper back off twice when he saw the flag. The Porsche kept the boot buried. No, the Porsche driver is a cock.

Cat Terrist posted:No, the Porsche driver is a cock. Edit to clear some things up: These are all taken from between 09:00 and 09:40 - basically, the end of the straight - and are sequential from earliest to latest. This is not a yellow flag:  This is not a BMW, and they're not yellow-flagged, but it's the only car that I see them pass fast enough to justify your speed differential remark:  This is a yellow flag (you can see (two?) cars off track on the right):  This is the Viper following the Porsche around a Civic (the nose is just visible in the lower right corner, the Viper is essentially alongside it at the moment):

It was a fantastic display of driving, your play-by-play dissection is needed no-bit whatsoever.

So, it was going to rain soon so I went for a quick drive in the Beetle before it'd be stuck in the barn again during lovely weather. I just got a Flip Video recently so I thought I'd record some flybys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg6XDvCM5go All that noise and only 50mph.  e: V Thanks

^^^^ I'm not the only one!? Every time I hear a Beetle it brings me back to the family vacations I had in Mexico when I was a little kid. The exhaust smell of anything flat and aircooled has the same effect.

Well, I AM from Mexico. So I grew up taking these cabs every day to go to places. And my mom owned a blue one, my aunt a white one. They were the shiiiiiiiiit. Same with the Combi Vans or whatever they're called in the US.
