Being stuck behind slower cars

Yeah i know what you mean i have been in that situation myself where as if im the faster one trying to get past i always TRY and be as respectful and as curtious as poss which in turn ends up fucking up my race lol as im trying so hard not to hit them i end up in a major crash lol

Some situations obviously can't be avoided, and if it is like a 2 lap race then you do have to pressure the guy in front more, but the race i was was in was around 15 minutes long, plenty of time to get past, people just have no patience lol

When I first started racing with NoDo drivers and couldnt get the overtakes as quickly as with randoms, I thought that sticking very close to the NoDo in front was an easy way to put pressure on them and also let me pounce on the overtake opportunity. A very short time later, I realised that this was not the best method as everyone has different braking spots and racing lines (also lag) and it very quickly turned into a heavy contact sport. Now I try to leave a car length or 2 when im racing. Except of course when im going for the overtake.

My biggest problem is when you are about to lap a slow driver and they still carry on like they are in the contest, making you slow right down. IF YOU ARE BEING LAPPED PLZ LET THE QUICKER DRIVER PASS!!

When you are behind a person, a corner is close, and you don't have a chance to get an overtake before or out-brake him/her, this especially works for a tight corner when there may only be one line, take a step back, give them maybe half a car space behind, so if they brake early, oversteer, etc you can react and get past. If they don't, then you can take the corner faster as you have more room to take your line and braking points. If that doesn't work then be patient. Of course, there are times when you can stick right to their bumper if you want to dive in the inside carefully or a corner where not much braking is needed so you can get momentum to get past after, but generally before a corner give a little bit of room. I'm not saying brake and let them zoom off, just let of the gas for a fraction of a second to give them enough room so you can react to a mistake. Being patient is key, but don't take this to the extreme and never try and overtake on a corner, just for tight corners this is helpful. For wider corners keep your speed up and try and go on the inside or around the outside or just stick to the back of them, but you still need to react to a mistake. 6-7 Minute races are longer than you think. I've seen people be 10 seconds behind with 3-4 minutes left, but as the people infront were battling, they could catch up and take their time. This happens a lot, if you are patient but keep your pace and consistency up, you will be rewarded. 

Think about this, if the person infront is going slower, then you will be able to overtake him, may not be the first corner, but after 2, 3 or 4 corners you can get past as you have the pace. If the person infront overtsteer, or clips a barrier and rebounds into the road, if you are right on his bumper, you cant react and you'll end up getting caught in it, which will lose you far greater time than just staying behind for a couple of corners. The tracks I play on, made by NoDo members, all have multiple opportunities to overtake each corner, so just wait out and you'll get your chance. 

That's my view on it, sorry for the essay

One of the easiest ways I've found to make passes is to give them room coming into a corner and the focus on the exit of the corner so that on the straight you can easily get next to or completely past someone on the following straight. I've made numerous passes purely because I'm able to get really good corner exits on other drivers(which also helps me make clean passes due to my lag connection)

For me being the slower car most of the times, it makes me hesitate to brake when I'd like to to avoid a pile-up. But if it does happen, whoever is ramming my back because I braked too early is in the wrong. Just as IRL keep your distance or suffer the consequenses. If it's for positions I'll keep my line and brake when I want to (not talking about braketesting which is a dickmove imo.)

This is one of the biggest problems in racing. When was the last time you saw a 10+ person lobby on LSGP and everyone got through the hairpin cleanly? 

This and people launching themselves back onto the track after a crash or slamming on the brakes in the middle of the road after causing one is something that even experienced racers do which is a problem. You can let them back past half a lap later if you must, just as long as it's safe.

I understand your frustration.
