Abstract: A method for assistance in overtaking a vehicle in the framework of an automobile race. The global positioning data acquired by a satellite global positioning module coupled to a radiofrequency module is transmitted by radio frequency from a requestor automobile vehicle to a receiver automobile vehicle. The global positioning data is analyzed by the receiver vehicle and depending on the relevance of the analyzed data, the receiver vehicle warning its driver of the imminence of an overtaking maneuver. A radiofrequency signal is manually or automatically transmitted from the receiver vehicle to the requestor vehicle to inform the requestor vehicle that the receiver vehicle has been made aware of an imminent overtaking maneuver.
