Nice vids!

The Miata spin: More for the Lotus and Mustang than you, but in a spin situation like that you really can't slow down and stare like that. I assume you honking was a reminder for them to get back on the gas. Stopping for someone else's spin is a sure-fire way to cause a pileup. Soon as you're sure you can get by them safely, get back on pace and get outta there.

I would love to see the Mustang camera footage. That Miata looks pretty close to his grill from back here.

I agree. Do not dally after a spin. I was not staring for sure. I first turn down into the turn (three) to get out of the way and I was going to pass bye on the inside but did not want to close the door on the two cars ahead. I knew where they were. I doubt they knew where I was. On review the Lotus may have waved me bye but I never saw that in the moment. He gesticulates while driving as well, so I need to ask.

The Mustang was faster on reset than the Lotus. This is point bye passing so I was not sure what I was supposed to do. I honked to tell him get going and get back in front. I thought about it more later and perhaps I should have just gone but the Lotus and I have a history together. I look out for my friends. We both needed to get out of here, you first. I knew we were at the back so we had a few seconds plus the flaggers to hopefully wave off the others.
