I understand your point and I think we are talking about two different things...
You are saying that timing devices and a desire to run "as fast as possible" contributes to poor passing/point-by ettiquette at the track.
I am saying that this type of point-by (as denoted by my video clip) is not how you should execute a point-by i
f you are already pointing by someone to let them pass you.
I should post the entire video from my session as a counter to your point, because I spent the rest of the session catching up to him in corners. I had to drive purposely slower as a result in several sections.
Our run group was advanced w/ point-by passing. This is not how you do point-by passing, nor should I (the passer) be the one asking the car in front of me for a pass/point-by.
