VR, had I been able to be there, I would have no doubt asked you to help me under-drive (?) the car, but
I had 93,000 friends (and one daughter in a big time collegiate marching band) calling me to another world...
No contest

Ha! Was it the "shortest distance between two points is a straight line"-line? Must see the video!!

I too have used the "change the subject" that others have mentioned approach, especially when the student is thinking too much and over analyzing.
VR, did this student know you were in the car behind him? I went out behind a student once at Mid Ohio, even going as far as to borrow a car so he wouldn't know it was me. Turns out he did know I was behind him and he spun. He said afterward that he started pushing too hard. i wonder if he knew you were watching and in his effort to impress, he reverted to his old habits because he was pushing too hard trying to go faster.

No, he didn't. I t was purely by chance that I was, too. I was in a less powerful car driven by another instructor, and we pointed this other individual in the much faster car by on a straightaway, then observed him for more than a lap (he'd pull us on every straight, we'd close right up on him under braking & cornering, the usual drill).
