Default Another bump on the Ring....

How to lose your €5k deposit in one easy step.... turn in to the Apex when someone is already there!

IMO.... the GTR driver should have been more cautious rather than trying to nip through after the Porsches.

The default position is the on the right, (its not a race track, its a single direction toll road)

to move over to the left that is what you have mirrors for??

6 of 1 or half a dozen of the other.

But as above the GTR should have seen that coming I did..

That just shows you that the most important item fitted for a lap of the ring is a standard fit item and the most important skill is to bloody use it 'ALOT'.

Its called a rear view mirror !!!!!

If you see a car in your rear view mirror catching, even if he is a corner back, don't try and be a hero trying to keep your lap time low. Start preparing to let them through.
The fact that someone is catching means your going to have to slow up at some point, so spare a few seconds and let them through smoothly.

Yep, which is why in the eyes of the Polizei, the Clio driver is probably at fault. As a de-restricted toll-road, the GTR is in the overtaking lane. The Clio driver has cut into the overtaking lane without checking his mirrors....

But I still think that the GTR was expecting a bit much to expect the Clio to have seen him coming from that far back in the short straight after the long right-hander. He was probably too busy keeping an eye on the Porsches passing him.
