You should see some of the driving antics from some of the people who think they can drive at the 'Ring - absolutely shocking and down right dangerous sometimes

You dont have to be quite that carefull..

In all the track days I've watched at Donno I only saw 1 day get anywhere near that- the Derby boys and the XR challenge..

They were promptly told its not a race and its not dogdems and it all calmed down.

You can't run a day like that IMHO thats irresponsible and a accident waiting to happen

If i was on a track day in my FRS and they were driving £50 cars driven like that i would complain to the stewards and if nothing done i would go home.

Amusing to watch but i would be fucking mad if i was on track and people were driving like that.

What a pair of complete cunts.

Would have been black flagged in 2 seconds at any self respecting trackday.

I would never support someone getting killed at a trackday, but if it happened to them, I wouldn't be shedding ay tears.

Such a shame that the dregs of humanity can so easily get a driving licence....

Thats what i said to my workshop lad. They deserve to have an accident driving like that

I couldnt understand why they were kicked off after the 1st 2 incidents

They're Scottish Andy.

They probably nicked the car, and are driving round pissed on Tenants Super!

Glad to see Knockhill acting responsibly!

Problem with Knockhill, too many chavs chucking the car everywhere thinking it's banger racing. Seen so many incidents, usually shitters into decent cars

Yes i do M8,

No way would i put my Escort (which i've worked bloddy hard for) onto the track just to have it wrecked by some idiot in a £50 banger that dosent give a $hit.

Dont get me wrong, everyone is entitled to have fun but if that involves wrecking someone elses car then its just not right.

I would love to go on track and drive like that, if it was agreed by everyone beforehand that everybodys car would be an expendable £50 shitter, that would be a great day

I don't think that is a normal track day. Half the corners are coned to make it single file etc. They are overtaking on both sides and obviously lots of contact. Definitely not a normal trackday IMHO, I think it is a special event where that sort of driving is allowed?

It was a hot hatch special day, £40 to enter, thats why

Guys, normal trackdays are fine and perfectly safe
