Passing the annoying Honda

[Realspeeddan]

A Time Trial is not the same as a race. You are racing against the clock to see who can get the best lap time of the day. To keep things safe for amateur hobbyists and to reduce the risk of expensive fender-benders, no passing is allowed in the corners.

Because passing isn’t allowed in corners, driver etiquette dictates that if someone catches you in two successive corners you should let them pass you on the next straight section of track because they are faster overall, even if the car in front is faster in a straight line. If necessary the car in front will lift off the gas for a moment while pointing for the car behind to pass.
The driver of this Honda has a reputation for holding up faster cars in the corners and then jumping on the gas on the straight after the cars behind have lost all their momentum. In short, he has more horsepower than driving skill. That’s fine. What irritates everyone is that he also lacks common courtesy. He will hold up other drivers lap after lap and then boast that he was faster than them.

After half a lap of this I decided I was having none of it.

I couldnt sit behind him based on the annoying noise of his exhaust. I also wouldnt want his smoke/oil all over my car. I am assuming the smoke is oil blowing by, is it something else?

A lot of what you see is him kicking up dust friom the track. Another car had oiled down almost the whole track and they had to put down oil-dry and use a street sweeper to clean it up. It left a white line of dust all the way around the track.

Some of it is smoke from his car though.
