Tom,

Raining it was but it was a great day out and the atmosphere was great as well. Thanks given to the epr helpers for the track layout as I enjoyed it.

Are you coming down to the next one James? Fancy playing in truck with the big boys?

Good to see you too Dave, if you can make it, come down to another Winter warmer mate!

Hoping for drier weather next time, but EPR isn't too bad in the wet, and we had snow for two races last year, that certainly livens things up

I would say as a general rule you use common sense! If you think the driver who is lapping you is quicker than you (which he/she probably is as he/she is lapping you!!!!) then you should let them pass. It will probably work out best for both you and the lapping driver, as you are not holding them up and you dont have the added pressure of someone quicker than you (which they probably will be) right behind you.

Thats my view anyway, there is no point ruining someone else's run because you want to race, as i really dont think you are really 'racing' the person who is lapping you, chances are they are lapping you for a reason..

If you show respect for the driver who is lapping you, they will show you respect back!

[Belsten]

Will be down for another but not till the new year unfortunately, so much racing this winter way more than I thought there would be
Wish I lived closer as its an awesome venue, track and organisation

Your right but Im also thinking if I dont let them pass and they stack it a couple of times them ill be in a position to overtake them!

[Belsten]

Not really fella, if the average error costs 3-4 seconds with marshalling, thats a minimum of 5-7 errors on a normal lap, I say allow to pass at the earliest sensible opportunity

[liam]

..."earliest sensible opportunity"...

Im all for fair play and no dirty driving but surley if there faster then they will get passed anyway?

Seems like I kinda speed up and get better with lappers on my 4R5E!

If your polite ill let you past if not Ill start my weaving techniques lol

Haha, nice try Liam! Doesn't quite work like this, if you tried these tactics you will upset people and then be punted off the track many times
