    Nothing. That’s the whole point of the topic. It’s all nonsense.

    Stuff like that doesn’t happen in real racing. In real racing you usually pass someone by pressuring them to make a mistake or forcing them to make an opening in a corner. Some motor sports have boost mechanics like DRS or electric boost and stuff but those are limited to specific areas with specific rules on their use. It’s not the winning strategy usually.

      On the contrary, it happens all the time. In car racing, but also in the TdF for example.

      DRS is mostly a F1 thing, and doesn’t have that much to do with what’s being discussed here, because it makes a physical change to the car itself. And of course if you get to turn on a second engine that’s something else as well.

      There’s also tracks which doesn’t let you maintain top speed. But the car in front can still keep blocking unless it’s a wide track (so basically some off-road racing I think)
