Well the 4x4 is ok but just not driving beyond the persons talent.....some nice sounding cars first though.

Now, I'm sure the driver of the 4x4 knows you wouldn't take a porsche across a field, so what mad prat thinks you can rag the tits out of a 4x4 on what is essentially a race track!! ..

I think this is the problem with the ring, they are allowing drivers who obviously have no understanding of the physics involved in fast driving (let alone a vechicle that can handle speed) amongst those in cars that are actually more suitable to track time (I agree just because you're in a ferrari doesn't actually mean you can drive - however at least you have a vechicle that has the handling and brakes .... ).

"thats what happens when you bring a spoon to a knife fight" - a quote from the responses on there

This is the age old issue of the tourist days as opposed to the track days. I will never forget cresting one of the corners there only to find a very large bus travelling about 60mph slower than us right on the apex!!

Part of the fun I guess...........know your limits and you stand a fair chance of doing OK and having fun. At least that 4x4 parked off of the track

How much stuff came out of that looks like they had their suitcases packed and weekly shop in the back , take that crap out and might have made the corner.
