Some events from last night's race prompted me to give some tips on getting lapped. Most of the below is copied from a post I made to an endurance racing forum over a year a go. It's been quite liked over there so I assume it means it's been useful also For reference I've often raced in a slower class car over there and in other places.

When being lapped you really don't have to do a lot. As I see it, the key things to incident-free racing are predictability and being seen. But being seen is not as much of problem when you're getting lapped as blue flags are shown so we can forget that now. Being seen is more relevant to when you're overtaking for position.

So lets talk about predictability. The best way to be predictable is to drive as you normally would. And that is to stay on the racing line and brake at your braking points. Not earlier and not too late. And you also want to take corners at the speed that you normally do. And also accelerate out of the corners as fast as you can, as you would usually do. So you do all these things when the faster car is behind you.

You let the faster car initiate the overtake and then, if you have to, you can help out a little bit. If he's faster out of a corner and moves over to start the overtake, you can lift off the throttle a bit. But you don't have to if he can pass you in time for the next brake marker. But if it looks like he won't fully pass you by the next brake marker then you can also brake a bit earlier to give him more room but also give yourself more room when braking and turning into the corner.

Doing things this way also costs you the least amount of time. And you're also still racing your own race and that's as important as anyone else's!
