Gents, Before this can turn into a proper argument please allow me to refresh your memories on what the rules are here at Srou with regards to passing (There are more but this seem to be the relevant part from the above comments).
The Srou rules are based upon, and somewhat simplified versions of real world MSA/FIA rules.
The important part to note is that the relative braking points are irrelevant to a certain degree as overlap is determined at the
normal turn in point for the corner that is being contested.
While the majority of the burden for a safe pass is on the car doing the passing, the car being passed also has to be aware of what is occurring behind/beside and leave room where required.
I haven't seen any of the incidents being mentioned, but I'm sure you guys can take another look with our system in mind to work this one out
Factors:
Was the overtaking driver level before turn in?
Was there room for 2 cars?
Would the overtaking driver have made the corner?
With regards to the comment on cars being level, generally in real life a point on the forward-most car relative to the B-pillar position must be passed for the move to be considered 'on' - this is the point I personally try to drive to. B pillars are normally close to the midpoint of a car, so on a single seater as below we're talking roughly halfway alongside at turn in.
If a car is fully level before turn in then providing they were going to make the corner all is good and the outer-most car
must leave room for the car on the inside.
A somewhat longer-winded version from the UKGPL drivers guide is copied below:
You can see here why overlap established after the turn-in point isn't really valid and therefore isn't honored in car racing rules. Its actually false overlap that's created by the turning movements of the cars. Its not due to one being faster than the other or one out-braking the other. In positions 1, 2, and 3, below, you can see that the Lotus has no overlap at all if you consider the straight ahead direction - shown by the blue lines. But if you take a perpendicular from the attitude of the cars, shown by the red lines, there is some overlap at position 2 and substantial overlap at position 3. This overlap is entirely false of course as the Lotus here hasn't actually out-braked or out-sped the Eagle by any amount what-so-ever - as I hope you can see form this diagram. Unfortunately many drivers think that if they do this they are some kind of out-braking genius, when in fact they are not out-preforming the other driver at all. Its a geometric illusion that has nothing to do with a driver's ability or performance. If they could really out-brake the other, they would have made some overlap before the turn-in point, not after it.
And no - I'm not ballasting myself as providing he remembers to join us on the grid in time, Max is more than capable of giving me grief
