In HPDE2 a fireball throwing FD catches me in the uphill esses, I let it by at the next passing zone, the back straight. No big deal right. When the FD passes both the instructor and driver flipped me off, arms extended all the way out the window. I laughed out loud. My instructor made an audible cringe, I think he was embarrassed that a fellow instructor would behave like that.
I know in HPDE2 when I ran a couple years back allowed passing from South Bend into Oak Tree. Maybe they thought it was the same?
By the looks of the video it seems like she just gave you another frustrated point by out the window to say go since she has to slow down for you. Seen it tons of time from being in my Miata. They wait to point in HPDE3 until the straights, point by at exit (which I'm already floored) then drag race, if I'm lucky they slightly lift throwing a quick frustrated point that I'm not catching up to them fast enough but most of the time they just keep flooring it and I'm constantly catching up...
It's like when they put their helmet on it squeezes their head so hard that they don't understand that a car like a Miata, or GTI in this case, with less hp should be able to blow by them in the straights if it's on their ass in turns..
