Passing on the inside or the outside?

Either way the Lotus driver has a big set of stones especially if trying to pass on the inside like that....the 73 RSR 911 looks as if the driver is getting ready to close the door on the pass by moving to the left and squeezing the 7 out of position....wounder if the 7's rear wheel rubbed on the curbing as it looks like it would be very close.

Reminds me of my race last weekend at Eagle's Canyon, due to lack of entries they combined the under 2 liter production cars with the over 2 liter. It was great, I got to run with some ex-TransAm cars and a lot of V8s. These guys would barnstorm me (us there were 3 Caterhams) in the straights and pay the price in braking and in the turns! It was a case of taking advantage in the turns or loosing out to the big bore crowd.

If i was trying to get buy I would have my lights on. Especially in a small car like the 7

 

Lights don't matter in my experience.

It seems that when a driver actually makes an effort to check for close company, He/She scans only at eye level, with rarely any height adjustment.

Even in the picture, the Drivers head in the 911 is in line with the top of the screen frame of the 7.

 

On the street I assume always that they have not seen me.

 

On the track, I assume that the Corvettes, Mustangs , and Camaros can't see me...ever.

 

 

In the picture, the Porker is passing on the outside of the 7 because the 7 just lost 3 cylinders.

The reason i said that was because when watching a race the first cars lapping slower cars will have lights blazing.
