I totally agree on the gravel aspect , although , much of that effort to design tracks with paved runoff was a push for safety , so , a touchy subject .

We have not seen a car go sliding into the gravel with that halo on it yet . I imagine a "cheese grater" effect , drawing the gravel into the drivers face .
But , all dark talk aside , you're right that they will take the fastest course of action that they can to get there first .


It's the wheel to wheel aspect of leaving space that gets under my skin in a lot of cases .
When the guy on the outside has to dive off to avoid contact , it should be obvious that the inside guy either hasn't the grip to take a tighter arc to avoid it , or that he's intentionally running the other out of road .

When they say in the rules that you must leave a car's width if he gets far enough alongside , i think it might help to have a sort of "Monaco" rule , where you assume a wall is right there at each corner , making someone inside actually keep that lane open until corner exit , which doesn't at all seem to be the case right now .

They could race that way all the time , but fuzzy seems to be the choice they've made .
I suppose it makes for more lines of press when there's controversy , but I'm sure they wouldn't be so cynical as to have that agenda .

And , thanks for the reply .
If it wasn't for you and bagwan , I might not have gotten any responses at all .
