with the obvious speed differential between the two drivers/cars, even under racing conditions, he should have just found a nice corner exit, and out dragged him off an apex. even in a club race, that pass was super risky, and i personally wouldnt put my car in that position.

Good point, I've watched races with multiple classes on TV and most of the prototype guys wait until after a corner and then pull away on the straight or pass on the straight unless the slower car is very obviously hanging way back to give the faster car the right of way.

The S2k guy seemed to assume that since he was faster, the other guy should stay out of his way. I think he said something like "passing always gets done between those two corners" like it's a rule and the other guy should have known. I didn't watch long enough to hear the conversation with the miata driver. Clearly there was something weird on his side too if they couldn't get him to pull in.
