I was searching the web for information on the rule book of the '67
season especially the passing rules, as there are often discussions on
the various GPL servers about it.
all I found so far are some rules from different series nowadays which
can be summarized as follows:
- the car in front of another has the right-of-way, and need not
yield to the car behind. if the car ahead is clearly much slower
than the overtaking car or uncompetetive, the slower on should
yield the right-of-way to the faster car when it can be done safely.
- the responsibility for the decision to pass another car, and thus
for the safety of the pass, lies with the overtaking driver. The
overtaking car must leave room for the overtaken vehicle, and the
pass must be completed without requiring the overtaken driver to
take evasive action to avoid contact.
- it is the responsibility of the overtaken driver to maintain a
consistent and predictable line or course of travel.
any comments? anybody there with a rulebook of the sixties? :-)
