Divebomb - Emanuele Calarco - 01-14-2023 Hello everyone I'm relatively new in SIM racing. Can you make me understand the true meaning of the term 'divebomb' ? Thank you Emanuele RE: Divebomb - Nicolas Bournias - 01-14-2023 IMO dive bomb is a racing slang and refers to the attempt to pass a car by breaking extremly late, that late that - they wont make the corner in a proper way - they will cross the racing line of the car infront. More often than not, the late breaking will result in locked wheels and sliding in the car that turns infront. In general, the front wheels of the passing car should be at least at the height of the back wheels of the car infront, at the moment the cars turn in for a corner. In that case the passing attempt is legit and both drivers should be prepared to go 2-wide in a corner, therefore leave enough space for the other. An epic dive bomb can be seen at Monza T1 where people 3+ carlenths behind will dive in on the inside, lose control and scoop up multiple cars infront of them bc "there was an opening" RE: Divebomb - Emanuele Calarco - 01-14-2023 Ok thanks for your reply.. But if I am next to the other car and force the braking going slightly long leaning on the car I'm trying to overtake?

QThis thing of overtaking with zero contacts is a bit absurd RE: Divebomb - Nicolas Bournias - 01-15-2023 (01-14-2023, 04:12 PM)Emanuele Calarco Wrote: Ok thanks for your reply.. RE: Divebomb - Emanuele Calarco - 01-16-2023 'Leaning' maybe It's not the exact term... This is the situation: We are paired, we brake and I can't catch the apex well, I touch the opponent forcing him to widen the trajectory RE: Divebomb - Martin Smith - 01-17-2023 (01-16-2023, 06:16 PM)Emanuele Calarco Wrote: 'Leaning' maybe It's not the exact term...

If you had no overlap then that's a textbook divebomb. Regardless, you failed to control your car and your opponent suffered for it. When I did that, I gave the position back since I came out ahead due to my error.

As you said, you failed to hit the appex and forced your opponent wide and even touched him. To give the position back is the right thing. The driver that tries to overtake has the main responsibility to execute the move in a safe and clean manner (that doesnt mean that the other driver has no responsibilities at all). RE: Divebomb - Handy Hanafiah - 01-17-2023 this is my suspension notice what actually happen is guy infront go wide and since there's opening i try to pass him from inside, but incident happen because that guy is close that opening when our door is already side by side (i keep my line) even tho i got suspend for 'divebomb' reason that i deny, i still respect the decision but my point is, every person may have different perspective to divebomb. and if you get reported, camera angle might be influential. (i think this one is my case) |
