You hardly gave that guy in the Porsche any time or space to pass you, he essentially had no other choice but to almost eat dirt. Just my 2 cents on the Porsche pass.

So you're saying that you should always make a pass just bc the guy in front gave you a point by?

Probably a little more complicated then that. Many more variables go into this.
1) The guy in front of you hauling ass but signalling you? If it's at the beginning of the straight and you're making good gains to pass, then pass if he's signaling. if you have the straightway speed to do so.
2) How much room do you have to overtake? If you don't have enough room to slow down for the next turn and maintain your lines, then don't pass (like the Porsche did)... Regardless of what the guy infront is doing.

Basically this.
I think years of being in a slow straight line car such as the s2000 had me frustrated with people pointing me to pass but not allowing me to pass by not going off the throttle.

From a pass-ee (person BEING passed) perspective, I want the pass to be made quickly so getting off throttle makes sense so I can get back into the hunt faster (plus trailing a faster person can potentially make you faster too). When idiots wave to pass but don't back off, that's just stupid.

oh finally went to TMP and saw these vids. Is that 911 a turbo? Is it the track owners....? He had turbo.. But I feel like the track owner would know not to pass after that turn.
Second vid lol that exactly what made me leave early last week.
The marshall mentioned a mclaren that was slowing everyone down. Looks like that yellow one in the first vid...
