If you pause it around the 2:48 mark they actually look like ADV05S similar to these:

First vid is hard to see if GT3 driver had a clear view far enough ahead. My instinct tells me I would not drive like that tough, overtaking multiple cars in one go is not something I like, that hugely adds risk.
Second vid. The yellow turbo, i see nothing wrong with that. Perfect view, swift overtake of one car. No other cars, pedestrians or bikers in sight. Case closed. Allthough a little aggressive bumper clinging on the car that pulled of the road, i hate that.

ah... the red one.
that car does it up down 84. 35, 92 all the time. it has dropped a few motorcycles.
Actually it was a silver one, traveling in a group of exotics. The only worse move I've seen in all my years up there was by what appeared to be a mentally unhinged tweaker chick in a beater Honda.

I was very reluctant to post in this thread after reading all the comments. I grown up driving/riding in north Italy, Austria and Germany. To me it is still frustrating how people drive in the US. I lived here for the last 18 years so sort of got used to the sedated inattentive, slow driving of the US public but still get frustrated on a daily bases by people driving below or at the speed limit in the left lane, texting, or driving like a snail on mountain passes. I pass cars on my bicycle regularly coming downhill in the black hills or in rocky mountain national park!! That is crazy slow for my taste. The pace in the video seemed reasonable, and the way the pass was executed was very questionable.
Anyway, there should be no double yellow lines when one can see the road more than 200m ahead and an actual driving test (I mean a real test) should be mandatory in the US.
