I'm guessing the ECU sees the loss of fuel pressure/volume/something and sets up that temporary limit automatically to protect itself or something.
I had a power cut out a second time - which is one of the reasons I left early, as well as me suspecting my diff cooler programmer unit was possible going off and on - turns out it was fine. Pretty sure the second power loss was just fuel starvation since it came back up to full power in less than a minute. Was worried I was breaking the car too much for one day.

Your instructor should wear a headset so they can provide direction/commands as you go around... that will que you to make the correct pedal input at the right time
Travis, at the training sessions, they do wear headsets and give you one.
