Default Pretty car, shame about some of its owners

I seriously wish I as kidding, but there was a blue Wolf in my run group and this car was the worst offender on the entire track for holding people up. Either "prototype" means that it has a serious unresolved mechanical issue I'm unaware of (like, ridiculously bad suspension / brakes) or the driver of the blue one is not only selfish on the track, but also totally scared of his own vehicle.

I only have footage and watched the Wolf run on Sunday. So, I never asked or was informed if there were issues prior to Sundays run. Not sure if this is the car because there were other prototypes as well. But from what I saw it was passing up multiple GT cars and more. From the GoPro footage the Wolf was being slowed down by others cars...

Michael apparently likes to watch himself. Either running around in purple or scooting around the track in gray.
