The rules might be clear, but my opinion is that the rules are stupid.
I have mentioned this before, but you just need to view the touring car race from Crystal Palace in 1972, I think, to appreciate how hard charging the leading cars were, and they didn't exceed the white line. They couldn't, even if they wanted to, because they would have collided with very solid vertical banks or solid walls. Watching Chris Craft in his Escort was a joy to behold.
Oh, and the didn't "swap" paint or door handles either, and they certainly didn't give them a tap in the hope that their opponent might go off line allowing them to pass. And no diving down inside on a corner in forlorn hope that the car in front would give way.
