i saw something very similar go down in front of me (have video but can't upload?).

fast corner, slightly off-camber.

vette spun on turn out.

miata was right behind and came up on him hot. miata didn't want to brake and be stuck sitting in the middle of a corner and exposed to the traffic behind.

miata decided to pass the vette but was unsuccessful. two cars totalled.

follow the rules.
Stop in the middle of the track??
All my track rat buds that I showed the video and post to said the same thing, it was a safe pass given the situation. None of them would have stopped on the track for a car that slowed down significantly and deliberately moved off the line

For a car spinning, that's a different situation
