Quick time no doubt but his track day standards leave a lot to be desired......

That's an understatement and a half. Quick car though.

He was even worse in the wet when we were there, forcing his way round the outside on corners etc.

If it was racing or a closed circuit test day then fair enough I'd agree with you but for a trackday you don't think he's being a bit of a tool?

What about the undertake at the top of eu-rouge at 9:20ish?

Agree it's a bit aggressive for a trackday where there could be novices etc.

His Nurburgring time of under 8 mins (7:50 odd I think) isn't as good as I'd have expected considering my 8:42 in a lowly 350 exige on road tyres and stock suspension. (4th lap on the public day after almost a 10 year gap too :thumbsup ). :lol:

I am far from experienced but my expectation would be that the car is likely to come back into the racing line as instructed in briefings thus I am not sure why he is angry and gesturing with his hand up

Nice car though!

Different trackday, could be different rules, but given that most moved over to the left, my guess is not.
The pass on the mclaren could have been a disaster, the guy clearly didn't know what he was doing, so novice at best, and he chucks it up inside at what must have been 130 plus.....no indicator from the mclaren......

As above, risking his car and several others on a track day is madness. Quick car /driver suffering red mist, needs to chill a bit :roll:

What position did he finish the trackday in? I hope he at least earned a podium place from all that c*ntish behaviour.

He was certainly on the podium of the prize bellends on that trackday (along with the guy who crashed into the wall in the pits) and another trackday racer who was also giving signs to drivers whilst passing on bends :damnfunny
