Let's not start talking about "him" here ;)

That is quite ideal situation and I do that a lot too, 2-5 corners and then
you can
get by... sometimes it takes longer and sometimes he/she just keeps on
blocking... ;)

Why should the slower car pull off the track JUST to let the leader by...?
I have no problem with letting a faster car go by, but I *won't* run off the
track to do it.  If you're GOOD, you shouldn't have a problem passing me...

True, I didn't mean that slower cars should pull of the track, but just ease
with the throttle(in time)
to make overtaking a bit easier.
So much depends on actual situation, if the one overtaking is right in your
gearbox, don't ease
the throttle until he's already taken his own line and in that case, I don't
mean that you have to
park your car or drive to the pits...;)

No I didn't ... I asked if it was ... but never mind, the answer is obvious.

Oh, ok.  It *sounded* like you(or others) wanted us 'velocity-challenged'
drivers to hit the grass when the leaders came through...

Yeah, seems like some others think that too.
I just noticed it yesterday when racing Rouen at VROC. There was this
gentleman, who let
me go by when I was in my hotlap. I was faster, but actually he doesn't
_have to_ let me go by
if he is doing his own hotlap. It was my fault that I was so close to him
and I should of waited a bit
to get some empty space in front of me. Sure, my lap was poletime(thanks),
but it spoiled his lap,
which wasn't necessary... :(

Slower guys actually can do their hotlaps too and faster guys sure doesn't
have any special
rights there... :)

...but you _HAVE TO_ give room if you are _NOT_ in your hotlap. I've seen
few guys racing me when I'm hotlapping and they just came out of the pits...

Yes, yes, yes, Marko I agree totally! :-)

Especially your point about people racing you when NOT on their
hotlaps... like just out of the pits. That is just uncool.
