sounds like you should be mad at him, he is the one going slow and having motor issues not you, I will let the leaders by clean but never stop for them beacuse you are racing too just take a different line and leave the fast line open and clear, if they are really that fast they will see this and thank you for it because sometimes stoping can be worse. When I am leading a race I expect the same treatment but if not i will F'n park your ass and if that person gets mad then so be it, if they come talk to you about it just ask them how they finished and that will end it!!!!

Lutz at Neobuggy could have used a blue flag. Backmarker held him up 2 or 3 times and spoiled his TQ run (although he did TQ). BTW, unlike many would do, Lutz didn't punt him.

That's because Lutz is a class act.

+1

A light blue flag, sometimes with a diagonal yellow, orange, or red stripe, informs a driver that a faster car is approaching and that the driver should move aside to allow one or more faster cars to pass. During a race, this would usually only be shown to a driver getting lapped, but during practice or qualifying it could be shown to any driver. In most series, the blue flag is not mandatory - drivers obey it only as a courtesy to their fellow racers. In other series, drivers get severely penalized for not yielding or for interfering with the leaders, including getting sent to the pits for the rest of the race. In Formula One, if the driver about to be lapped ignores three waved blue flags in a row, he is required to make a drive-through penalty
