In regards to what triggers the Perpetual Point, it's complicated. I believe it's based on lap times, not cars passes. You won't reach the Perpetual Point without running as hard a possible for several laps. It appears to be based on average  lap times. Meaning 1 fast lap isn't enough, you need several fast laps. 1 long lap at the start can take a long time to erase (see Indy Video below)

I don't think the amount of cars passed matters. I have an Indy endurance video that shows this. If you run flat out from the start at Indy, you'll start getting packs by 25 km. I start the race by running backwards for a bit. Then I run flat out and don't hit packs until about 60km. I passed WAY more cars in the 60 km then I can ould pass in the 1st 25 km running flat out (see Indy Video below).

Also, once you hit the Perpetual Point, you can't lose it. I showed this in the most recent video with the Fort GT (above). At some point a wasted times by doing donuts just to see if I could catch up. I had no cars for 2 laps, but then had the exact same sequence appearing.
