I watched the most of the vid, flicked back here to post ' but the white scoob wasn't holding up the golf'...flicked back to vid to see it vanish in a cloud of burnt rubber
So I'll stick to my original thought...

Looked like the scoob pulled over on each straight but the golf didn't have the power to pass.
Liking the way the Caterfield absolutely pi$$ed all over both of you like you weren't even there

The golf didn't have the power to 'pass', but the Subaru driver should have lifted off and let the car that was lapping faster through. There is no justification for holding up a faster lapping car......
Instead he overcooked it trying to keep ahead and got a session red flagged.

i'm sure he was suffering from heat soak

first rule of trackdays. If a car is behind you in the corners he IS faster than you. A quick lift on the straight, he gets past, you continue on your way, everyone is happy ( & you might even learn a thing of 2 by following him 
)

Of course, been there myself, at bedford in my old s2000, absolutely pi$$sing on this tuned leon cupra thingy round the corners (kept having to lift off, check my watch, make polite conversation with passenger etc. ) and the straights I was a little quicker but not enough to pass, brake and settle for next corner. All that was required was a slight lift. In the end I passed him, a few laps later I was behind him again so just turned into pits as I couldn't be arsed with taking it slow in the twisties.

I don't care that his lines suck, he should have moved over. His failure to do that means he'll be picking stones out of his car for a while yet

LOL very funny video - love the look on the drivers face as he shakes his head once the scoob has gone off.
No need to hold up a car that is obviously quicker through the corners - just pull over and let him pass.
Here is me at Donny - luckily no Golfs in sight

I bow down before all you incarnations of senna, berating the white subaru driver....
his so called 'crap lines' looked like attempts to let the stig in the golf past...clearly seen at 15 secs, and less noticiably at 53 secs where he sits on the outside of the bend...also at 1:07.
no disputing the fact though, that at 1:18 he made a complete ***** of it

Sounds as if you've fallen prey to one of his ilk too!

Golf was a bit quicker in the corners - not massively - Chaterham past both with easy.
Scoob driver was probably just trying to make the Golf work for the overtake a bit - was a short video, hardly holding up the Golf for an extended period and moving off line to allow an overtake anyway.
As for going off - big deal - it's a track day and pushing much harder than would on the road. Golf driver shakes his head - bully for him if he has never been off!!

He held him up for nearly a whole lap....not just a few corners.
He should not be making anyone "work" for an overtake. He got caught, he needs to lift, let the faster car through and hold up the next guy
