CC-car defending move
Posted: 03.01.2019, 00:06
Hello and Happy New Year to everyone. I'd like to introduce something that looked like a novelty in GP2 to me.
A few days ago I started some race in Barcelona and, after a poor start from pole and way before the first corner, I was right behind Schumacher (leading) and approaching his slip-stream (having the 30 extra horse-power and reasonably low-wing).
We were both in the racing line (to the left), and then I noticed that he tilted a little to the middle of the track, like defending his racing line.
Of course, I followed him to the middle and, with GP2 strong slip-stream, it was kind of easy to get him through the right and be ahead already at the start of the braking zone.
Anyway, I was surprised and amazed because I don't recall this kind of moves in GP2. Did any of you ever watch a CC-car defending his line to avoid being overtaken?
