Formula D
Can you zig-zag on a straight to overtake a car, and must you end in front of it or in your starting lane?
The rulebook's overtaking exception settles the main point; the shortest-path limit on extra moves is debated.

Yes. The rulebook allows zig-zagging when overtaking another car, so you may leave your lane to pass and come back. You need not end in front of the car you passed or in your starting lane. Some posters say a pass-and-return that was not needed breaks the shortest-path rule, which is contested.
