It's HK, which requires careful disciplined passing. If the passes aren't clean, then you lose momentum and can't catch the leader, so timing the pass and picking the spots is key. Fortunately, there are many passing spots. The bots enter turns wide and leave a lane, so you can pass cleanly in nearly every turn so long as you've timed it right.

I did the race last night. It's definitely the toughtest Cup, but on the second go (bailed out on 1st one halfway - wasn't going to win) I had 250yds on Rattlesnack at the finish. There was some lapped traffic at the end. FU, tilt B no assists.

My view on best spots, in decending order, are:

1. Just after the chicane. (FYI, chicane can be taken flatout in an FU car if you get the line perfect). Either in the short chute after the chicane or into the righthander right after.

2. The 90-degree right turn after the long straight, outbrake and pass on inside.

3. The second 90 degree lefthander after the second hairpin.

4. Either hairpin, usually with light contact for these.

But seriously, you can pass in basically every turn at HK but the timing is key, and gotta be clean enough to keep your momentum up.
