Are we talking about qualifying or Finals?
In qualifying, the golden rule is to let the faster cars through at all times. As you are a lap down, IF you can pass safely and drive away from the car that is " a lap up on you" then thats ok.
In Finals, you have to give way to the car that is lapping. If you pass the Lead car that is a lap in front of you, then you can expect to be told to move over and let him through all the time, unless you can drive away from him/her.
