Maybe a repost as the video is a few years old now but fuck 1:53 is shocking! a pistonheads member apparently and he posted it on the forum but got flamed for it, so he deleted it. Someone saved it and uploaded it again.

seriously, just watched it again... 2 min 58... wtf? did he do that on purpose or something look at the way he grips the wheel and he moves it ... clueless.

he just needed to keep the wheel pointing relatively straight when it started to slide and it being fwd would've just driven itself out of it.

Probably the worst bit of trackday driving I've ever seen, but it was bloody entertaining. Just glad I wasn't there on that day

I do not understand why the marshalls aren't pulling him off the track, driving that close in the first place is reason enough to black flag him and send him on his way.

What was this trackday anyway? Sheds 'r' Us or something?

I have NEVER ever seen driving like that in all the trackdays I've done, I was involved in that fool at the Nordschleife the other week tailgaiting me in traffic flashing his lights but he crashed shortly after so I had the last laugh

Neither is Knockhill, this is 5 years old, lots has changed in that time. Don't think this is how everyone drives around there, as its not.

Knew which video this would be before I clicked it. Shame they didn't actually crash and learn their lesson.
