I know this is a bit pointless but ive noticed a weakness with about 90% of my opponents on the downhill, when we come up to the hairpin bends they always run wide and leave a gap when turning round the left hairpin bends. it's just asking to get overtaken lol. I wonder why people do that. Has anyone else noticed this?

Running wide is not the ideal line so if you see someone do that you'll know he is not taking the fastest line. Why only the left bends I do not know but I do know that the last two bends are not shaped like a perfect parabola so the apex is actually later than the previous ones which would mean that some may run wider there but not wide enough to leave a gap

eah ive noticed that with the last 2 corners and ive seen alot of people run wide on it and some people leave a gap wide enough to get my car through, i don't know what it is about left hand bends either but thats what ive seen lol. I always stick as close as i can to the inside if i got a car on my ass

It might have some thing to do with people using right hand drive cars(Japanese cars) with the 1st person camera view.

Keep in mind that in a cat and mouse battle you do not have to do this and can chase the faster lines.
