Overtaking

What are the best overtaking sports on th various tracks?

For Me

Mallory - Round the outside of Gerrards

Snet - Slipstreaming on the revitt and into Esses, also on the exit of Coram

Brands - Up into the 'pin

Lydden - on the exit of Paddock


Anyone/where else?

North bend hairpin at Lydden - loads of overtake attempts up there (with varying degrees of success). Into the devils elbow as well, and round the outside on Chessons - pretty much everywhere!

Druids at Brands (I think that's the right one! - top of the hill hairpin effort).

Redgate and whatever the hairpin is called at Donington.

Hairpin is a much better bet for Mallory.

Less risky round the outside at Gerards compared to the hairpin?

Gerards is 'exciting' just going round by yourself!

Is that what you were doing? I've seen the photos, so I guess the hairpin would have been better!

Best place at mallory is into the esses, inside, or better still round the outside. We should dig up that new chicane now.

One of the worst places - into the mountain at cadwell, since it almost always ends in tears (so I'm told !!!!).

Paddock at Brands.... if you make it
Craner Curves at Donington
Copse at Silverstone
Paddock at Lydden ... my favourite as there's no run-off and always requires a change of underwear
