12 OVERTAKING - WHO OWNS THE RACING LINE?
-
12.1 Attacker (yellow car) more than half-way alongside
In this case, the attacker (yellow car) is definitely more than halfway past the defender (red car) at the apex. The attacker has the right to the racing line. A collision at the apex is entirely the fault of the defender (red car).
-
12.2 Attacker (yellow car) less than half-way alongside
In this case, the attacker (yellow car) has only their front alongside the defender’s (red car) rear wheel. The defender (red car) has the right to the racing line. A collision at the apex is entirely the fault of the attacker (yellow car).
-
12.3 Attacker (yellow car) approximately half-way alongside
In this case, the attacker’s (yellow car) front axle is ahead of the defender’s (red car) rear axle and the two cars are approximately halfway alongside. Both drivers have a reasonable claim to the apex. If contact occurs, blame will have to be shared. It is in this zone that racing incidents can occur.
-
12.4 Side by Side
If the drivers enter the corner side by side, they must respect and leave enough space for inside and outside racing line until the exit point.
