'annoyed reaction' is the definition.
'tut' can be an answer for 'reaction' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'annoyed' bit.

'an about-turn during a race' is the wordplay.
'an about turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'a race' becomes 'tt'.
'u' inserted inside 'tt' is 'TUT'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for tut that I've seen before include "That's bad!" , "Expression of disapproval, usually doubled" , "in short I don't like that!" , "Sound disapproving" , "former ruler, in brief" .)
