Passing

• Both the passing driver and the driver in front are responsible for fair racing during the pass.

• It is the passing driver’s responsibility to choose a safe timing for the pass.

• Pass attempts at a turn is what causes most accidents. The preferred racing line through most corners is usually very narrow and sometimes it will be impossible for two cars to share tight corners side-by-side at full speed. For each corner, the right to the preferred racing line is decided at the turn-in point. A driver attempting to pass at corner entry must be in a side-by-side position at the turn-in point to have a right to enter the corner side-by-side. If not, this driver must back off and give way to the driver up front.

• Dive bombing should be avoided and is subject to a penalty.

• If the attempting driver was out of control and caused contact or time loss to another driver, the penalties applied may be harsher than normal.
