That last video was great. Man, that guy can drive. I wonder who he is, or more so who the GT3 club is. That track was full of them....

458 crashes HARD, nobody cares, and mid corner on a sweeper, guy leans over and they shake hands. I love it. Long live the Euros....

Europe is different from the UK or USA on trackdays. UK and Europe always have helmets, it's mandatory in the UK and whilst I've never seen helmetless driving in Europe, there are fewer rules there and even if they have them they are ignored. The exception is the 'ring on public days, when people drive with babies in carseats etc (yes really).

The European trackdays are treated like races by many drivers, with fights into corners and no quarter given by many drivers. I was with a big UK group at Monza on an Italian Club trackday and a friends 360CS was hit by another Ferrari who tried to out-brake him into the hairpin at the end of the pit-straight. I don't ever recall seeing car-to-car contact on a UK trackday.
