24 Brilliantly Opportunistic Racing Overtakes
We all love a good racing overtake and there are so many incredible examples out there. Of course, the more opportunistic the move, the better and more impressive it is – here are just a few epic on-track passes
1. Quite a recovery
That’s one way to save a slide.
Talk about a brave move!
Ricardo Zonta had quite a surprise!
4. Pitlane passes!
Cheeky Sebastian Vettel!
As you can imagine, the young star Max Verstappen features on this list more than once…
It wasn’t even in a F1 car!
8. Magic Monaco pass
This is how we’ll remember Jules Bianchi - as a hard, feisty, talented young racer. RIP Jules.
11. Bravery at Eau Rouge
Kimi was probably cool as ice in the cockpit of his Lotus, too.
12. Surprise motherf...
15. More Verstappen madness
Nice one, Romain!
18. Sneak MotoGP attack
19. Finding a space
There is some good racing in GP3, occasionally!

23. Just a little nudge
Well, that one is more accidental. But it’s still quite a passing move!

Schumacher was ruthless. That blocking manoeuvre would probably get him a punishment today. And that Vettel pitlane pass was beautiful, I remember laughing when I saw that.

#2 was truly the power of painting your car pink

You guys forgot one.
Eurobeat intensifies
When I saw the Orange Mercedes on No. 10 first I was like, “wtf?” then I was like…
I’m sorry, I don’t understand?
You put BTCC in good. But you show that one without proper due to Collard. Who is an overtaking genius. https://youtu.be/6Q7w1ZjTywA?t=3m12s
That was a classic! Lucky man though.
Mind you the 14 and 99 are going for the Championship. Whoever finished higher would win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHhrk9VCVfM
BTCC is so uninteresting
What? I take it you never actually watched a race. Collisions, fights, fireballs, multi car pile ups, dodgy tires from the sponsers, underdogs winning races, drivers taking on the whole field form the rear. You name it!
No.9……….VTEC kicked in opportunistically
