Yep

And, yes, it is quite different than what I have seen in Black that one time that I ran.

Plays for me.

I don't understand ego over being passed. I think of it as running with different classes in ALMS. Even if I am Patrick Long, I need to let McNish by.

Passing in corners as said is not mandatory according to PCA BUT if one is not comfortable with it, move back to white. The whole issue is situational awareness which comes with experience. There is always a speed differential in all groups and in all races (ask Mark Webber). An aware driver (even half blind) should be able to see other cars in the mirror. I understand Kurt's point especially in the years he spent in the 912, that he for sure earnewd that pass and letting a faster car by would loose 3 laps of momentum he built up. I will be asking the flaggers to report conductors and black flag them, may not work and probably the non guilty party will be the one who responds to the black flag cause the conductor has not seen it.!!
It is not ratting out to come in and complain, we can not be out there all the time to monitor it. Have a quiet word with the offenders,if that does not work, take it up with CIs or Chief Steward at pit out who can then come to Bob or myself and we will spend some time counselling. This applies to all groups and not just passing in corners.

It still takes me a moment to get used to seeing a drover in short sleeves and shorts ... with gloves on.

Ive had some good responses to this and a few people angry/not happy with me what can ya do, im glad most people see what i was trying to show.

I was posting this mainly to show that there is improvement that can be made easily and hope that it would work a little better at porschefest. When there was just two cars in a passing situation i think the passing worked very well, not many passes from 5-9 and in corners themselves but ..

thanks for posting the red vid ryan definately some better examples

But for those laps that I was held up in traffic, and didn't know how fast or slow the cars were behind me, was I wrong not throwing a pass to the guy behind me? I don't think so, because I didn't know if the person behind me was faster or slower as the pace was quite slow.
I have alot of laps playing with you, you stayed behind me for a while in some other sessions then took off. I want a turbo...185 hp is fun but 250+looks like alot more haha..i gotta talk to scott and see how he gets his turbo past scruitineering though i was somehow able to match his 126s when not in traffic

I dont think there is really a wrong, but i think the offline/along side stuff would have made me just let him pass and then if i have to repass i have to repass, yeh it can backfire but im hoping bringing things like this up will make the group a little more aware and less chance of a backfire. again just me... fun time though Jim you ran well, GET A COOL SUIT they are sweet.
