Hi Clay,

I can make this- you can put my GTI down alongside Herbie as part of the VWDCQ entry.

No undercutting to overtake on the corners. Only overtake on straight sections of the track.
If you are not overtaking anyone on the straight stay to one side (the left) of the track and let quicker cars (clio, Blue TTS, lotus, 335i etc) overtake.

Which sections are considered straights and which are corners for happy laps? This track has what I would consider "slight bends".

Basically the straight is the long section that contains teh start/finish line.
Everything after the hairpin to the big sweeping right hand onto teh straight is considered to be off limits for overtaking unless you are motioned to overtake.

Sounds good. Understood. Rhymes with wood.

Wait a minute. Maybe it's not understood. So the gentle lefthand bend after the finish line is ok for overtaking?

Anything after the left hand kink should not involve overtaking to be honest.
We have had a few times where people were overtaking just before the kink and that has been okay.

I will do up a map later tonight.

I must say, I have passed after the kink on the straight, however the car I was passing was far to the left and I had plenty time/space/ability to pass him quickly & safely before the brake point.

Usual overtaking areas highlighted in the map.

Green is for safe overtaking, yellow is for overtaking if the vehicle in front allows it (signals you to overtake etc)

[Machine]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[mattatnoosa]

Beautiful. Thank you.

yea the back kink is sketchy when people try overtaking you and you havent waved them through.
