When the "faster" car doesn't want to let you by
I'm sure all the track rats here have plenty of good examples. It's annoying. You work hard to catch up to them in corners and brake zones, and then they won't give the point, or give the point, and then floor it.
Let's see your videos. I'll start with a couple of mine. And in the M2 on the Nurburgring. |

I've mostly experienced the point by followed by 0 lift it baffles me and makes no sense. They have like 600+ HP. Even if we had a ZL1 we would not be able to pass.

Must be something with C8 drivers. Seriously though, we had a C8 driver do that at Pocono to a few people.... He no longer is allowed at TNIA events, they kicked his a$$ out.

When I was a newby, I actually liked letting slower cars/faster drivers by. That's how you get better.
I've had the worst luck getting points from the Porsche/Corvette guys. Come on dickhead. You just might learn something. |

I have had the same experience with Corvette drivers, they just do not like being passed by the "lowely" camaro.

Anyway, the no-lift point by is super annoying and since the "Corvette" episode SCCA has been stressing the issue in drivers' meetings. |

I've experienced this fairly often as well. I've come to the point where I don't mind as much...as long as they give me the space necessary going into the turn and account for the possibility of me running out wide. I think many times I've been mistaken for a ZL1 with the extra 200 hp.
