Ambitious Overtake

The key to determining whether an incident is an ambitious overtake or not is simply down to how far back the overtaking driver was when he began the move and whether he achieved some overlap at turn-in. Occasionally a driver may jump at an opportunistic moment to attempt a pass that was not really on, perhaps when the leading car makes a small mistake but then recovers almost immediately. Such an occasion could also be classed as an ambitious overtake.

Some discretion may be afforded if there was a vast difference in ability between the drivers and whether or not the overtaking driver would have made the corner.

Typical Scenarios:

Impossibly Ambitious Overtake: Penalty 3 Places

  1. The overtaking driver had not achieved any degree of overlap at turn-in. The overtaking driver would NOT have made the corner. Penalty for overtaking driver.

Very Ambitious Overtake: Penalty 2 Places

  1. The overtaking driver had not achieved any degree of overlap at turn-in. The overtaking driver WOULD have made the corner. Penalty for overtaking driver.

Simple Ambitious Overtake: Penalty 1 Place

  1. The overtaking car had NOT achieved a 50% or greater overlap at the point of turn-in. There was no loss of control by either driver. Penalty for overtaking driver.
  2. The overtaking driver had not achieved any degree of overlap at turn-in. The overtaken driver did NOT contest the place. The overtaking driver made a clean pass but subsequently crashed trying to make the corner. The overtaken driver then gets caught up in the carnage. Penalty for overtaking driver.
  3. The overtaking driver HAD achieved 50% or greater overlap at turn-in but would NOT have made the the corner. The overtaken driver did NOT contest the place, he either left room or kept to his normal racing line. Contact is made. Penalty for the overtaking driver.

Overly Robust Defence: Penalty 1 Place

  1. The overtaking car HAD achieved a 100% or greater overlap at the point of turn-in. There was no loss of control by either driver. Contact is made. Penalty for overtaken driver.

Marginal Ambitious Overtake: Warning

  1. In a corner, the overtaking car HAD achieved a 100% or greater overlap at the point of turn-in but the driver was not in full control but WOULD have made the corner. Warning for overtaking driver.

Contested Overtake: Racing Incident

  1. The overtaking car had achieved a 50% or greater overlap but not 100% or greater at the point of turn-in and both drivers were in full control.
  2. The overtaking driver had not achieved any degree of overlap at turn-in. The overtaken driver DID contest the place by taking a defensive line. The overtaking driver made a clean pass but subsequently crashed trying to make the corner. The overtaken driver then gets caught up in the carnage.
