With the paparazzi out in full force, why didn't Di and Dodi just go
back into the hotel?

The only answer that I can think of is either machismo or stupidity
on Dodi's part. The driver was a hotel driver. He's not a crazy guy,
but he does what Dodi tells him to do. There was at least one
significantly sized BMW motorcycle in pursuit. You know and I know
that a Mercedes is not going to outrun a bike like that. I am
disturbed to think it, but I don't think you can rule out the
possibility that there was an element of privileged joy-riding here.
I'm sure that some of the last words heard in that car before the
crash were the equivalent of "Step on it!"
