No I'm not. People who claim a particular track is more difficult and
dangerous than others are already lining up their excuses for messing up,
rather than working out how they can lap the track safely and consistently.
Huh?

And that's all I have to say about that.

Now hold on a minute. I think I'm being fairly rational and even
reasonable in my desire to keep the noise level to a minimum. I
recommend that you read EVERYTHING I've said on the subject before
you go assuming I'm restricting what you say and to whom.
Final word - if we didn't have the constant mindless bickering about
long-past racing incidents by just a few individuals, I wouldn't have
even come up with the time-limit idea. So put that on your cracker
and chew on it for a while.

I am trying to strike a happy balance.
constant mindless bickering about
It's about attitude and it's about confidence in one's ability, so yes, it
has to with the psychology of racing. Is it "babble"? -No.
That's hardly realistic practise for a race there.
Firstly, there's only two sides on a car. They're labeled "left side" and
"right side", relative to the orientation of the driver. The other
extremities are called "front" and "rear" occording to the same definition.
But I assume you mean an arrangement like this:
3
1 2 4
#1 is not really in this situation unless he's moving significantly slower
than the others. I don't know if #3 can run high enough to avoid latency
contact with #2 and still stay with him. If #2 and #3 run to the end of the
turn together, #1 will pull out a little gap being able to use all the
track. It then depends on whether #2 or #3 gets off the corner better. If #2
gets to setup T1 first then #3 has to back off and hope #4 lets him slot in
(a similar situation arises if #3 can't stay with #2 through T3-T4). If #3
gets there 1st #2 (and #4) will have to back off a little to let #3 in
front.
If they don't "arrange themselves" they can continue side by side, but they
will be losing shedloads of time with reference to #1. The real loser here
is #4 who has to give in and lose time anyway as he cannot afford having the
other two running side by side ahead and losing him time. As long as all
participants hold their lines and anticipate eachother's moves correctly any
of these scenario's should go off without a hitch.
The only real thing that happens at Darlington as opposed to Michigan is
that if you misjudge keeping your distance with reference to another driver,
you can't drift out of line to correct that and still make it around the
turn relatively quickly. You have to leave yourself that extra margin for
error when following somebody "new" and you really have to slow down if
you're not running "the preferred line" through the turn. Does this require
more discipline? -A little. Is it slower and could you lose a lot of spots
if you get hung out? -Yes. Is it technically and any more difficult than on
any other track? -No, the limit is the limit.

I just checked the sim, and I don't see any such labels. Do I need to
install the patch to see them?
