If you are getting lapped in a race situation, in my experience the faster driver will be patient enough to wait until the next corner to dive on the inside and this means that the slower driver will take a slightly wider line on the corner. Usually things get unpredictable when trying to lap cars on long straights and so I try to avoid this, and just wait for the next corner.

But like a few others have said above, it all comes down to experience. Experienced drivers will understand that sometimes its just not feasibly to jump out of the way right away and will have no problem waiting a corner or two - lapped traffic is just part of racing.

It's great that you're asking for opinions on what you should do. If those drivers who are complaining aren't willing to take the time to explain to you whats wrong, I don't know how they expect you to learn whats proper etiquette. Probably bad drivers with faster cars.
