Just Do Like Real Life...

Just do what NASCAR does in real life: don't pass ANYONE until you reach the start/finish line. At least that's how they USED to do it, and I'm pretty sure they still use that rule. Sundown

This has probably been discussed, but if not I'd like ot know what folks think I have found on a restrictor plate track like Talladega that one can hang way back on restarts and time full acceleration just right to hit the pack in front at full speed just when the "Green Green Green" call comes on. I've passed up to 18 cars by the SF line in this manner. Is this an illegal move and should N3 black flag me for it? I did find one bug where if you are no the front row and don't immediately start a couple of cars will drive through you and you can never catch up to them. They go to the rear of the field on the start and then are scored in first and second place. Had to turn off pace laps to prevent this from happening. Kim

This one's been around since N2 and possibly N1 though I never had that game. I'm not sure why it hasn't been fixed. I would have thought a simple solution would be to make sure that you haven't moved up any places before crossing the S/F line compared to the position you were at under caution and then blag flag you if you have moved up say more than x amount of places or even more than just 1 place. Hopefully N4 will have this fixed. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Passing is allowed before the S/F line on the outside.

So if a driver is in the outside lane, he can slow down on purpose to get some of his competitors penalized? -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?
