That is a good attitude and mindset. On the track, I am always ready and willing to back off or let someone else by. I watch my mirrors relentlessly and in a day's worth of laps, I am sure to get more than my fair share of open track time. I'm not racing for money, but just for fun and to become a better track driver.
That doesn't mean that I never push hard or never challenge my limits as a driver but when it comes down to me and another driver going for the same corner, I have no problem being the smarter of the two of us.
