| Blue Flags ....
I Would expect to see a few of these myself .... In a normal race i would move over and let the faster driver by but as this is an Oval, Not a good idea ....
Would it be better to stay on your normal course and let the faster driver pick and choose when to overtake ... While i was racing tonight i noticed for the first time the big speed difference you get while slipstreaming your openent if you slipstream a slower driver and then he moves out the way to let you past then theres a good chance a crash is going to happen .....
What Do U Think .... | |

| Sorry Carl, I somehow had missed your post . I would say the only rule is prudence . But usually yes it is better not change line while you have a car in your draft about to lap you. Best thing to do I think is wait until the faster car has moved out of the draft (presumably to the left of the track) to make its move, and maybe help him a tad by lifting a bit the throttle if it is necessary (for instance as if a corner entry is near ). | |

| Malgré une bronchite tenace, peu de motivation en ce moment et un debut de tendinite je serais finalement là. j'ai pas encore reussi à tenir plus de 25 tours sans me vautrer mais bon. Stratégie à 4 ou 5 arrets en théorie si je tiens les 200 tours | |

| Désolé de prevenir si tard, mais un weekend plus chargé que prévu (p.....n de soleil !!!) risque de me faire rentrer trop tard ! n'étant pas certain de pouvoir être présent à 19h45, je préfére laisser ma place à un réserviste ! si la grille n'est pas pleine, gardez moi mon baquet, j'essayerai de faire de mon mieux pour arriver à l'heure ! merci ! bonne course à tous ! @+ | |

| désolé jean- louis je ne pouvais pas savoir, de plus Manosque ne doit pas être très loin du Castellet d' après mes souvenirs pagnolesques par mesure de sécurité: je demande un contrôle d' alcoolémie avant le départ sur la personne de mon frère Franck qui suite à une petite fête locale du samedi soir présente une crise de délirium trémens aigu qui lui fait prendre un mur pour un rail et quand je dis prendre un mur je ne m' avance que de 6heures | |
