    I know this videos old but I’ve been there. It’s corvettes usually, people who have a lot of power but not a lot of skill. If you can’t get a good pass on them honestly best thing to do is just back off or get off track for a second and hop back on when there’s a gap. We’re all out there to have fun and the best thing to do is avoid conflict and deescalate things. Cheers!

    I’ve posted a lot of examples like this too. It is sooo annoying. Another one is when you get a point to pass and they don’t let off the gas so you can get by. The often get mad because they don’t think you are trying. Well just because my car has less HP doesn’t mean I am not lapping the track faster. You know fast Miata drivers must live this nightmare often. Anyway after a lap I usually go into hot pit, report them, then when I am back on track I’m far enough away from them. But - sometimes I catch back up and have to do it all again.

    • @IN5T1NK3D
      @IN5T1NK3D 3 роки тому +2

      different cars, despite their vast horsepower differences, need to be able to coexist on the track. some cars are inherently better than others in certain parts of the track. by giving a driver a point by, you’re acknowledging that they’re faster than you. this implies that you respect their pace and are letting them by so you both can get on with your day. if the corvette lets him by, he’s just going to catch right up with him again. that’s just how it is unfortunately. however, if he lets the corvette by, he’ll just get caught by him again. it’s truly a lose-lose situation; neither driver will end up happy from this scenario.

    • @robertkorn

      At most track day events, it is the responsibility of the car giving the point by to also back out of the throttle a bit to let the other car go by. It is not 100% the responsibility of the car getting the point by to make the pass, it is a give and take.

    Going to an HPDE event and getting all pissed off at the other drivers is pretty bad form. I know it can be frustrating (and yes, the Vette driver was being...difficult), but it is strictly a fun type event with drivers and cars of all different speed levels. I see guys in their 70s at these things, driving $200,000 cars slower than I would drive on my way to the market, and on the other spectrum practicing racing drivers whom I'm sure I have held up on occasion. If it is too slow or frustrating for you, take the next step up to time attack or some other type of racing.
    I understand the frustration, but if you are going to flip the bird at other drivers who paid their money just like you did, just because you don't like how they drive, IMO you should be kicked out. It isn't supposed to be that kind of event.

      You obviously aren't familiar with HPDE etiquette. If you get caught on the track, you're obviously slower overall, despite you having more power. It works out better for BOTH parties if the slower one lets the faster one by, and if necessary because of the faster one's lower power, give him a few turns to put some separation distance between you. In this way, BOTH of you get to concentrate on your laps without interference.
      In fact most organizations will discuss this during a drivers' meeting, and many will black flag you for doing what that Vette and that Seven did. Repeated offenses may even get you kicked out of the event.
      If a stock Miata catches me, I let him by and I do NOT just blow back past him on the first available straight. I ease up until he gets a few corners to leave me behind. If I didn't do this, I would rightfully be ashamed of myself. An HPDE is not a race.

    must be frustrating being a faster driver in a slower car. Koodos to your driving abilities! Always great to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
    But no need to get upset at slower drivers. This is HPDE and everyone drives at their comfortable pace. But giving middle fingers, trying to pass without point bys and intimidating other drivers from behind has no place at an HPDE event. If you were to get involved in a crash with any of the slower cars, you would be 100% at fault!
    If you have problems with any of the drivers on track, bring it up to event organizers.
    I hope by now you would have learned being patient and respectful of your fellow drivers on track. We are all out there to be safe, have fun and enjoy our time.

      Always appreciate questions. This was 3 years ago actually. That Corvette was a C7 Z06 on Hoosiers. Should run 2:12s around Sebring yet it was holding me up who at the time, ran 2:28.5s. I ended up pitting and giving him a half a lap and I still caught him by the end of the session. If he had let me get through without blocking me, he never would have seen me again. I also went out in DE4 again last week at Sebring. Unfortunately I'm blown away at the lack of speed in that group. Check out that video (was just warming the car up and not pushing yet either)

      I get that you are a better driver but you were flipping the guy off as he was pulling away from you? Also the little bug eyed car too.
      The Z06 can only carry the same speed that your 2k can in the turn yet you get mad for him “blocking” you. Once again Im curious did you expect a point by when they’re pulling away?

      @@brianwilkins5673 Yes, the rules/etiquette of HPDE is that if somebody catches you, they are faster than you, and you should point them by, and then if necessary due to their lower power, you should ease off for a bit to give them space. After a couple more turns they will leave you behind. Then BOTH parties get to concentrate on their lap without hindrance.

      You asked, "Are you expecting them to give you a point by because you eat them up off the turn?"
      He expects them to give him a point by because he is running faster laps overall, despite their ability to outrun him in the straights. It's pretty standard HPDE etiquette that if someone catches up to you, they're faster, and so you let them by and DON'T drag race them down the straight. Those guys were rookies, as is evidenced by their lines AND their lack of etiquette. If you think they did nothing wrong, YOU'RE a rookie too.
