Uh, that's the exact definition of "staying on line"
Also, I respect your intent, but avoid pointing by other cars while still in the curve. This does two things:
1. Has you focusing on them instead of what's in front of you and your own car
2. Makes them react, often by accelerating, while still in the corner. They may or may not be able to handle this. There are a lot of begginers with big HP and small talent. I instructed a guy in a Supercharged C6 with 600+ RWHP. If he gassed it in a corner we were gonna go around.
Both situations aren't good. There's plenty of time, wait until you're car is settled then give the point. If the passing zone is too short for that then it's too short to make a clean pass.
