This chap seemed to take umbrage to my driving for some reason. Slightly outbraked myself at sunny in and took very slight avoiding action just to be sure, he seemed to think i was going for a pass.......... :roll: :lol: :lol:

Never seen that on a track day before, he overbrakes for sunny in, you have to take slight avoiding action, and he has the time to look in his rear view mirror.....and then has a spat of road rage.......wow.

I see to remember an S1 that colour at Donny 2 years ago , i made the mistake of putting my suitcase in HIS garage, and he spat the dummy big time, perhaps it was the same guy?

Yeh Stu I was equally surprised. Needless to say it carried on for a bit in the garages. :)

Going well mate. Especially like the correction on the first lap. Not sure what was then said but at least it gave me some reassurance that it wasn't just my car that was trying to leave the track. Great hands

That guy in the blue elise is clearly a twunt of the highest order.

You should post the vid on seloc etc so he can get a good public shaming. Clearly he believes he's the best driver in the world and nobody is allowed to get close to him. Looked to me like he braked too early, no wonder you were surprised!

A total cock, and slowing in front of you later demonstrates his lack of sense / judgement. Poor form.

Did any of the Lot guys get involved, I would at least think they need to see the video, what would have happened if 2 or 3 quick cars came into to complex at full tilt, could have been a big crash. The guy needs a talking to.

Yes they did at the time but it was just 2 blokes having a disagreement in the pits. They were just trying to defuse the situation.

I agree though, dangerous way to behave on track.
