As I said guys, this is a very complex and dynamic issue.
One thing to point out also, if you have your tires locked when contact is made, it will not go well for you. Locked tires and brakes are not a sign of being in control of the car. Once you are not in control, fault will easily and quickly fall your way even if the tire marks say you had position.
Last and most importantly, my opinion is not the opinion on what the intent of the CCR is in these matters. I'm just as capable of understanding incorrectly as you guys are.
I'm glad this has not gotten heated in any ways and encourage this to continue. Believe it or not, this topic comes up very couple of years just like this. We get a crop of new guys here w/ us who need to have this open dialog to understand if we all are on the same page. It’s a good thing.
Also, slightly off topic, There has been some complaints of blocking as of late. I've seen it and I've been told about it. I'll not name names or address it w/ them at this point, but I will take time to illustrate this as well at Hallett. The short of it is, you get one move to block an attempted pass from apex of one corner to the next, that’s it. Example - TWS and we both track out of T2 w/ me in front. I'm driving the normal line and slowly drift to the left setting up for T3. This is not a move. But if you move right as if your planning a move to pass on the inside of T3, I can move to block you and that is my 1 move. If you move back left to set-up for the preferred line and fast way thru the corner I cannot move back left w/ you. I must stay to the right all the way to apex. At that point, if you have not established "rights to position" I can track out like normal to the far left on track out of T3. Even if you have a run and its clear your going to eventually establish rights to position, I can track out. The best evidence of blocking is video. W/out that, its really had to do anything about it.
