It's a tough one, FWIW I think you did the right thing in your situation, even though you didn't follow the rules. Did the instructor in the other car tell you why his student driver went off line and slowed down?

The instructor in the other car, who I know well, and who is part of the reason I am out on the track now as he invited me a number of years ago to come down and hang out with his race team over a number of weekends (he has run 996/997 cup cars in NASA GTSU and ST1) was not so understanding.
After the session, I tried to find the other driver but could not find the car in the paddock/garage area. The instructor found me and reiterated the requirement to pass only in designated areas and with the point by.
I sent him the same video directly later than night and asked if I really could have done anything different and he said again I should have waited for another time and backed off as I really surprised the other driver coming through like that. I really like and respect the instructor so I was more than a little confused by his comments after he viewed the footage of the pass.
