Hello veterans,
I just completed my first two races after getting my competition license this weekend. I was able to qualify in front of a few cars. Unfortunately I already got sandwiched on green flag and now my car is damaged.
I'm looking for some advice on green flag starts when the guy behind you is last and is able to hang back and jump the green to launch past you. What is the best way to deal with this? After the race he blamed me for not giving him racing room, and I did indeed have to turn down a bit because the guy on my left was moving down (he was on grid next to me so we started side by side).
I have a video of it here (jump to around 14:05) : https://www.facebook...32604810276177/
This is at Brainerd International Raceway going in to turn 1 where there is a Walmart parking lot worth of pavement, but that doesn't help if there are cars all around you...
I just want to improve so I can race safely and keep contact to a minimum, so criticism is welcome.
