I out-broke an Evo and the marshals said they was very close to black flagging me? I got a telling off but I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong. It seemed completely safe?

I would have done the same move as there was still loads of straight left, but from their point of view I think you go past it when there are corner signs, so it's deemed as overtaking on a corner

Do you genuinely not know or are you just being your normal cocky twat?
Do you remember much about the briefing?
Anything in there about overtaking in areas which are marked as no overtaking?
Anything in there about the decisions of the marshals being final?
Anything at all you listened to or can you already do it all?

Looks completely safe to me, you pulled the pass way before the corner, his wife probably forgot to butter his bread or something.

The usual no overtaking on corners, leave others room, etc... I've done far worse on various tracks and never been flagged?

Moron. It's not a race, and going by your facebook status and the kill list I think you believe you are racing. Beating a Porsche GT3 in a Skoda? More like he saw you driving like a lunatic and wanted you out of the way.

I watched the entire video.
The fact your having driven worse elsewhere is some form of mitigation just reinforces my opinion of you.

Beating a Porker GT3 lol. Then you woke up in a pool of spunk.
As said he was probably getting out of the way.

People who drive like you on a track day always crash at some point.
Have fun on your next day.

funny vid, pretty sure u killed the evo by driving like u are and braking latter, not straight line...
also having seen few gt3rs on track they are a serious track car! if u get a really commited driver then u wont have a chance against one! FACT!
having done few track days.... my understanding of overtaking.... overtake when given concent by the car infront, like moving over or indicating etc!
think most of pit lane prob decided that your crazy and move out your way when your coming along......lol!

Looks like the faster cars are still considerably faster than you, pull away by miles, all slow down for the corner in plenty of time because it's not a race, then you come barrelling down thinking that because you've caught them up when they've all slowed down you are faster?
