Obviously...
PMSL.
PMSL too
How the hell did he get his right foot all the way over on the clutch pedal.......?
Left food braking gone wrong?
As a former ARDS instructor with Everyman Motorsport I could feel every second of that. Funny though
offset pedals in an unusual car?
I like the instructors closing remark as he tries to remain professional: "I'm fine but that's ... less than an ideal
situation"
hahah BRAKE!! BRAKEE!!! YOUR NOT BRAKING!!!
Is it just me or did he try turning in despite the fact he had clearly not lost the speed??

Geez, that is bad ...
You have to have fairly large balls to be a track instructor, I know many professional drivers will not entertain such a thing to earn a few more bob.
Matt Griffin springs to mind, he now refuses to instruct after a fatality in a Ferrari some years ago at Goodwood I think it was.
Is there any reason why cars used for track instruction can't run the dual pedal setup as seen on all roadcar instructors cars? - just for
situations like this. I have no clue how he 'thought' he was pressing the brake, and if he did think it was the brakes, why did he not
notice that the pedal went to the floor?. I think he needs to do a road driving test before he gets behind the wheel of a track car again....

Well that's reassuring ( for the instructor) someone ought to tell who ever runs that school !!
hahaha. is it a 911?
Im fairly sure this has been posted before if not here then another forum and the comment on there was perhaps he normally drives an auto and does left foot braking regularly and got confused by the third pedal i.e. the clutch.
