Thanks, his is what i send to blockers in iracing from now on.

A dude literally swerved at me to keep me from passing. I came here to see if it was a racing thing, but nah I think the guy was trying to kill me

I love making my car wide and I do so respectfully. But because they can’t get past, they call me out for blocking. It’s fun

"moving chicane" im going to use that lol

Yeah great line from Simona.

You must be able to defend your line, but with respect!

Excellent explanation. Thanks :)

1:28 HOLY SHIT ITS SUPER GT

Very informative. Thank you for posting!

Blockers are my biggest pet peeve, because instead of blocking, you can let the other car by, then catch up to him and take your position back, it's all about strategy not force.

Blockers are generally slower so they do everything to not lose the position

I'll break the tow, and break your momentum without blocking you. Nobody has to let you go by. That's not a thing lol.

Blocking is okay but the rule is only one attempt. Because the driver behind is would want to go the other side after being blocked. Having said that, this means the car attempting to overtake still has more speed than the car ahead of him. If a block happens again, then that was intentional and any resulting crash is caused by the other guy who was blocking. Racers forget the cars are continuously increasing in speed and they think blocking will always warrant the guy behind to brake. If he brakes because of being blocked, it's because he wanted to prevent a collision. Racers always believe blocking is rightful but only realize when it is wrong (blocking more than once) IF it's done on them.

Blocking should only be done once on every attempt, because more than once is weaving. If you "prevent" the guy from overtaking (by blocking) that is not racing. That's why this IS a sport and not a showing off of ones ego -- that kind of ego believing "I am faster than you because I blocked you from overtaking". The correct sporting mentality is, "I was faster because the other guy can't catch up to me (specially on the corners), and I didn't make mistakes." Racing will always include overtaking, if you don't want to be overtaken, then make sure the car behind you does NOT CATCH UP TO YOU. Blocking only confirms your opponent is faster than you and/or made less to zero mistakes on corners.

So right about the mirrors!

"I've earned the right to defend that position". If you want it your gonna have to work for it. What sim racers need to learn is when to pass, and when not to. So many wrecks that could have been avoided if they just waited a few corners lol.

Defending is positioning the car in a way which makes the overtake more difficult and risky (for both). Blocking is positioning the car which makes the overtake impossible.

I'm going to share this video with the people I race with online. It's clearly not all that complicated !

Wise words from Johnny Rutherford!

Here after Castroneves won his 4th Indy 500 🏆🏆🏆🏆

I think Johnny Rutherfords comment is just spot on to Verstappens attitude. He can't walk into a garage unless his Dad is there whispering into his ear.

done.

LMFAO this video describes Max Verstappen's brand of racing to a T.

1:31 Fonzie???

Max "The Moving Chicane" Verstappen 😁

Like IndyCar but always thought this was the dumbest rule

Verstapen and his family didnt like this

F1 rules are different (not that Verstappen stays within those).

I own the track until you are next to me. I can go anywhere within track limits whenever I want to. Blocking is a matter of perspective for race car drivers. They all have different definitions of what blocking is lol. One drivers blocking is another drivers momentum breaking. Kind of like intentionally moving to break the tow of the car behind you. Some people hate it. Some people love it.

If open wheel is so dangerous you can't race then maybe close the wheels lol.

Asking a woman's opinion on driving, is like asking a man's opinion on giving birth.
