Spotted...

I was in a group which was stuck behind a BMW X5 from the top of the switch-back hill right to the car park on our last lap, which is the sprint. Very frustrating, but unfortunately there isn't much more we can do other than start earlier still.

I ended up taking the BMW on the tiny bridge just to get 100 meters of sprint which was rubbish. But these are the times we live in sir. If only there was somewhere else we could ride in such numbers.

Was it silver?
Do you think the bunch riding on the bumper of the motor might intimidate the driver into going faster? I'm not sure of the effect, though it did seem to speed up after the hill.
I personally wouldn't like to get that close, the driver wouldn't even have to brake in a diesel, just lift off the gas slightly and the whole group would be through the rear window. Nasty.

I've given up using RP for sprint efforts, it's not ideal.
