Who was that is the other max at the end of the vid? What was he running under that thing? He was steady pulling on you in the straightway.

That was >ME< !!!

That third bit was from the other car (the race-prepped GTI- notice that it doesnt wobble 1 bit in the turns- very light car to be able to almost keep up with the max w/ 90 HP!). That guy who was driving it was very cool, we traded videos.

See it was
1 hot lap footage at first, then combined with:
2) My perspective on that crazy pass, then
His perspective on the pass.

Notice that it took a very early apex turn (holding as much speed as possible, also not cutting him off) to manage it safely.... That was the best pass of my career!

Kinda neat 2 shots for comparison, IMO
I should add that the pass occurred earlier in the year than the first bit (full lap)when I had a full exhaust system upgrade... the car is like practically silent in the 2nd bit!
