Now if somehow EventServices was secretly told that it was the last lap and the other dude had no way of knowing, it wouldn't have been fair. Not the case though so perfectly fair. Maybe not honorable, and he may get some payback at a future race, but it was definitely fair.
Sorry, if it's not honorable, then it's not straight up.
I can easily tell you are not a golfer, or if you are and someone asks what you shot, your answer is, "about a (fill in score here)." Example...a friend of mine is in a tournament and asked the other player to move his ball marker away from the line of his putt. As the other player was replacing his ball for his putt, he forgot to return the marker and was about to putt from the wrong spot, which is a 2 stroke penalty. My friend, seeing this had a choice...let him go ahead so he could win the hole, or tell the other player of his error, saving him 2 strokes. He did the honorable thing...even though it was the responsibility of the other player to remember to move back to the original spot. BTW...the guy made the putt, won the hole, and beat my friend 1 up.
I note a lot less "honor" in society today.
My guess is, if you could ever get good enough to race for a number of hours where there is a feed zone or people stop for "a natural break", you might be tempted to attack. "Hey, it's their problem they had to take a leak."
