Hi Guys, this is the driver of the #47 blue Audi. I've resisted chiming in here until I had a chance to review and post the video from my car.
As #945 indicates, he is going pretty slowly around the ligthbulb (T9) and is hugging the inside line. I pass him on the left at T10 (a very gentle turn), you can see that when I am even with #945, I am almost at the outside curbing and there is a very large gap between us. After I pass #945, his speed starts to increase (based on his forward-facing video that includes his MPH).
After I pass the T10 curbing, I do start to move slowly back to the center of the track and the gap between me and #945 does get smaller.
At this point, I am aware that there is someone else near my rear bumper, so my movements are very smooth, trying to be predictable. I thought that being in the center of the track would allow passing on either side of me. So, the gap between #495 and me does get smaller because I move a little to the right, and #945 is speeding up.

Real-time of the event. This is forward-facing video, but #666 is visible in my right-side convex mirror. I've looked at it a thousand times, and I see daylight between us the whole time. It wasn't a large gap, but it was there. I don't believe that I contacted #666 at all.

Slo-motion of the same footage, plus a zoomed-in version of the slo-motion footage. I draw the same conclusion - #666 appears to drift slowly into #945 (who is accelerating), got popped up on the air, and started rotating. You can see from my video that #666's front bumper was just at my right-rear wheel when he contacted #945 (and not anywhere near my front wheel).
