WGI PCA race just a few weeks ago. It doesn't look nearly as abrupt or close as it did from in the car. Thought I was going to punt him.

Germany? No helmets?

One of the Taylor brothers did something similar during a Tudor series race while warming tires behind a pace car last year.

Holy smokes. I see this SO often. Gee whiz, folks. If ya cant make an offline pass...if ya feel you absolutely MUST move back "on line" for turn in, regardless of how badly you chop the guy you just passed...maybe racing (or advanced DE for that matter) is not for you.

Instead of using all the fingers of one hand, is it possible to conserve energy by using just one finger?

Um, no. The open hand gesture means WTF, the gesture you are referring to means FU. Both are usages of the F-bomb, but they have different meanings.
