Excellent coverage. The video shows the difficulties faced by a driver of a (relatively) slower car, especially during restarts when there are slower cars and faster cars all mixed together. The effect of traffic on the driver's ability to complete his own pass while staying out of the way of the faster cars. Sometimes the timing of the faster cars overtaking can cost your driver precious time that then takes multiple laps to recover.

Also shows how much more difficult it is to drive a slower class car in traffic. The slower class driver needs to maintain a watch for the faster cars overtaking while trying to set up one's own competitor for a pass.

Plus watching from inside the car on a track like Road America...a fine way to spend one's time. Only thing better would to be the driver in actuality.
