Experienced guy is thinking... "I have room to pass, he's far right, there's no way he'll move over" ... WRONG.
Inexperienced guy is thinking... "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit... off my line... moving over... it must be safe" ... WRONG.

I agree.
I ride a motorcycle. Everyone is an idiot in my book. That's how I stay alive.
Anyway. The guy in front didn't drive ANY line in that corner.
The guy behind probably shouldn't have passed, but I would venture that at some point the guy in front would have hit someone else.
He had just been passed by two other faster cars. Not looking in the rearview to see if something is there before you drift all over the track is a bonehead move.
Rearview mirrors work on the track too.
The guy in the rear is approaching a slower car and trying to pass on the inside.
Dumb. Dumb Dumb. Definitely not enough room to pass if the other guy doesn't hold a line. Assume he won't.
