trackdays can go bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PIhZJJAykc

I think at most UK trackdays the Evo driver would have been asked to leave, close to the back of that elise and trying to upset the car!!!

Well it sure looked like he was having fun,,but I'm sure you wouldn't get away with doing that on a trackday in the Uk for very long
without getting a black flag.
I wouldn't let that put you off doing trackdays tho ..its shameful not to take the your kitcar on a track at least once

Shame he binned it, but I'm sure he walked away from it (he might not ave done in a aroad situation). I think you have to go into that kind of
thing knowing you could wreck it though.

Carved up other drivers, drifted in front of people he had just carved up...... you have to ask?
Trackdays are for responsible people to get the most out of there car while respecting those around them.
What if it was you he collected while going past?!?!?!?

I can't see that some of the cars around him were enjoying his contribution.
The mention of losing everything is a fair comment when you're left with a big hole in your pocket because your 20 grand Porsche gets taken out
by some tool in a sideways Evo.
I bet the guy in the Green Elise was wondering when this would happen.

What is it with people who drive Evos?
I was overtaken at Lydden under a yellow flag by a guy in an Evo - If I hadn't been watching my mirrors we'd have had a minor shunt.

Agree with you there, what a ****..
I saw a video not to long ago, can't find it now of a guy in a DB9 being an idiot and crashing into a GT3 porsche when the porsche did nothing
wrong....

Im glad you said (wrote) that. I was wondering if it was just me that thought he was a twat!
Track days ive been on, he would have been black flagged, and told to cool off because his driving was too aggressive.
Deserved it if you ask me.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

i assumed it was a drifting day, but maybe not. However, it is on a german reg plate (3min38), so maybe thats how they do trackdays out there.

he was over driving the evo and on a trackday thats not really acceptable at all and he reaped his rewards lucky for the rest of the people there he
did not hit them.

I didn't think drifting like that was allowed on trackdays, though the the title cards were in French so I'm guessing it didn't
happen here.
Don't risk it, take out insurance and try not to be a cock.

Agreed...
Never done a trackday but wouldnt want to with that tube on the same track.
Technically a decent driver no doubt, not backed up by decent judgement, too many other track users too close on a narrow circuit.
Its official he's a w@nker !
Good day spoilt as all others have to stop while he gets shovelled away.

He'd have got a piece of my mind, that's for sure. I've always found track day organisers listen to your complaints, especially as I
always say I'll go and speak to them if they don't

Driver was an accident that was always going to happen. Hopefully it will be a long time befor he has the money/car to potentially ruin other peoples
day/car/life.
Looked like his girlfriend was voting with her feet too......
