Silly question, coming form a guy who's never done a track day in a car before (plenty on a motorcycle): What do you keep looking in your rear view mirror for?

I don't know the etiquette for cars, but on bikes we always had to remove our mirrors or tape them up and point them down so we wouldn't use them (and so they wouldn't shatter and spread glass all over) because it was the responsibility for the faster rider to pass the slower rider safely. Slower guys weren't supposed to get out of the way, just ride their ride and let the fast guys go around them; there were still classes, but even in a 600cc pro class some guys are still way faster than others.

Is this different in cars? Or was there someone back there?
