Default COTA in-car Footage

Sort of. Not mine but one Peter Krause posted on his Facebook page. Great little writeup but the last paragraph is a great summary

"Sooner or later, driving a really fast car like this ends with the car on a flatbed and the driver in an ambulance. If you’ve got the bank account for a 911 GT2, chances are good you can swing a less expensive track car and some personalized instruction, too."

Same guy? This guy is AWFUL at driving. He shouldn't even be allowed on the track. Craziest moment is him grabbing the A-pillar!!! during a slide:

Yeah, that is just pitiful driving. Ritesh (hi, by the way), I'm not sure he'd be let out of the green beginner group until he fixed the 8+ problems I saw in that 1.5 minute video montage.

Wow, he's bad! Never had an instructor in the car. Impossible.
He's going to hurt himself.

My understanding from someone in the garage with him was that he HAD a coach...

Hmmmm...

How fast did you think the car in the video was "Thee Camaro" before GT2 was mentioned?
