Legal attack question

[TaunHawk]

I ended my movement near an opponent's car that was not moving in the same direction and the game allowed me to make an optional attack action, so I did. I thought this was not legal according to the second edition "SLIPSTREAMING" section of the rules. I was surprised that this attack option came up. But maybe I misunderstood the rules? Can someone point me to the correct section of the rules where this is legal? Thank you!

UPDATE: ANSWERED
Thanks to Skoki's feedback and link to the updated rules. I have found the updated Lateral/Side Attack (Shunting) rule in the Italian version of the rules listed on the official VektorRace webpage. If you open the following link in Chrome, select the Italian rules and then select translate to your native language in the upper right of the address bar, need Google Translate plugin installed. You can find the rule listed as the last attack maneuver in the "Attack Maneuver" section, just before the Pit Stop rules:

Here is the excerpt from those rules:
"If a car ends its movement with its nose (in whole or part) inside the lateral attack area and at least in 2nd gear, it can close the distance by positioning itself adjacent to the opponent's car by performing a Lateral/Side Attack (Shunting). The attack can be performed even if the car is not in the same direction of travel, but moves towards the attacked car.

The rules of BGA adaptation were always slightly different from official ones, and whats more - they were changing few times. Too bad that as far as I know there is nowhere an updated rulebook of BGA adaptation (there probably is... kind of. Read below), not to mention information that should pop up when you open the original rules and it should tell you they are outdated.

This is huge huge oversight of the developer, but even more of the publisher. I contacted them both with that regard. The publisher said that these new BGA rules will be then implemented as the official rules for the physical releases and for real life Vekto championships. So they should be since about 1 year I think when the current rules were set on BGA. But I doubt they are updated in physical, as even on their website there is no updated rules. At least in English...

and now, to my surprise I've found the updates in the Italian version of the rules. Not sure if all updates are there as this is not very easy to understand the updates as well. There are new images without proper explanation if given image show when the given move is possible or nor possible. Here is the link to the rules on the publisher' official webpage, check both English and Italian version: https://kaleidosgames.com/smartrules/vektorace-sr/

I highly encourage you to address given problem to the Developer and Publishers!
Thank you for your input

Thanks for the feedback and the the details about the updated Italian rules. I just received my physical copy of this game and see the rules online are slightly different from the ones in my game box. I opened the Italian rules in Chrome so that I can have them auto-translate to English. Will dig into the rules now.
