Seriously, why does everyone do that?, it's frustrating as heck, like you can't make that corner on that line at half the speed, so why when we overtake do you suddenly try it?...
What I always say, drive smooth, and not erratic when someone faster is catching and getting ready to pass, it's usually easier to pass if you stick to your own line.
The problem then is don't be that land torpedo when they do make the pass, and stop with the actively trying to block as well, you see guys in quals who are a second or more a lap slower, who instinctively try and block the moment anyone catches them.
Also, stop whining everyone is hacking you when your new (or not so new), 9 times out of 10 your hacking just as bad, part of the driver learning is learning to pass and be passed, and then also learning to prevent yourself from being hacked, driving to avoid the carnage...
