Video Transcript:
Essentially what you want to do as you come on a car that's a little bit slower than you is pick a safe place to go by. Most of the time they're going to have predetermined passing zones. A lot of times those are in the longest straightaways of course. So on these long straightaways, you're waiting for a signal from that slower driver, you may not always get it. If you don't, it's okay. It's just a track day, you're not racing. Don't get impatient, don't force the issue. Eventually you're going to get a signal, usually that's in the form of literally a point-by, a gesture, or they're just telling you where they want you to go by. Or you may get just a regular turn signal indicating which side that they want you to pass.

If you're getting too close to the next corner, and it feels like it's going to be risky to make the pass that late, where you might end up side-by-side turning into a corner, it's probably better to just wait until the next straightaway. You've got all day, you're going to have plenty of track sessions so don't feel like you've got to push it. Wait for that moment and then get it done quickly and safely.
