Guys, are you kidding me? Welcome to RC racing! This has been going on since they started racing these things.

First, there is no rule that says you have to let a faster car by. It's called courtesy, something sorely missing in racing these days.

If you're a slower car and someone faster is coming up, you should try to let them by cleanly when it's convenient to you. If you're a faster car and you come up on someone slower, it's up to you to have patience and wait for a clean opportunity to pass. Don't drive through the guy and then say you should have gotten out of my way.

And it's up to more experienced drivers to talk to people who may not know what racing courtesy is and explain it to them, without being confrontational.
