It's covered in every track day briefing: if a car has appeared in your mirrors it's because it's faster than you, so please ease off and let them by. Simple.
Except when you have selfish people like we see here in the big shiny expensive AMG Mercedes, which no doubt cost a lot of money and clearly has lots of horsepowers. The blue G40 that I've caught is patiently waiting to get past him but gets denied on the start/finish straight. When the opportunity comes up through The Loop the G40 makes good use of it and I try and follow him through, but am wary of what Mr Mercedes might do.
As he decides to re-pass me on the straight towards Brooklands I decide I don't fancy having a collision with him so I let the black G40 past which has caught us up. Once again he's denied the pass along the old start/finish straight, and again on the run down from Copse which nearly ends in a collision - you can just about hear me shouting in disbelief.
His arm gesticulation is completely justified.
