IMHO, in this sport of R/C racing, there is no "line".
Yes some are good enough to have a line they "try" to follow, but lets face it, no matter how good you are, your not going to follow the same line on the track every single lap. Ive watched some of the best, like Sonny, and even he doesnt take the same exact line every lap, its just not going to happen.
The track is just too tight for how fast the vehicles move, not to mention its off road with other racers in the way.
With that being said, how can anyone predict someone elses line in order to make a clean pass? You cant.
You just have to follow and wait for your opening, usually when the person if front of you makes a mistake.
There are times when people dont like to move over though, even after youve followed them long enough....this is when it gets ugly most of the time, because now its time to cut in and force the pass all while trying not to hack.
This happens in all forms of racing, not just r/c. You race your line no matter what, but if someone is on your butt, by all means move over...if not, they will be forced to pass, even if it means bumping you.
