Nopi drift ruling
Sosideways and I were having a conversation about this rule today:
2.17> Foul Starts, Passing Competitor: In accordance with customary guidelines, the first person to commit a false start is warned. If that competitor does this again, he is eliminated regardless of whether or not the other car false starts. While on track, competitors are not allowed to pass one another unless lead vehicle looses drift, spins, or leaves course.
He thinks its a rather poor rule and I agree. I also thought that maybe there was room for interpretation in it. D1GP allows passing which is awesome and the way it should be. I personally thought Nopi drift allowed passing at one point. We were speaking of what constituted "looses drift". I said running wide could constitute it and he disagreed and said he thought it only meant complete loss of control or the action of drifting i.e. stopping, spinning, totally straitening out.
Discuss?
