Looks like another Duct Tape Motors video. Can't wait for their followup to the VIR video from last year.

That thing needs to be equipped with an ejection seat to get that idiot OUT of there.
+1 Funny to watch, but that's an accident waiting to happen, no DE group here would leave him on the track!

Any thoughts I've ever had on becoming an instructor are gone. Forever.

I have no idea where to start!!!!!!!!

But my favorite is him driving almost half the video with his hand on the shift **** and steering with one hand. I can not wait to try that out at the Glen in a couple weeks. That technique should be good for at least a couple seconds as lap!

This person clearly needs some basic instruction on car control. That's fine. Not everyone is born with the skills of MS. However, if this was a DE, where was the instructor? This is an accident (involving other cars) waiting to happen.

If I were on the same course, I'd be pissed they allowed a clueless person to drive. Maybe lunch laps w/o supervision.

Who said this was a DE? This is obviously not in the States...track events seem to be far less organized in Europe based on various videos you can find posted on YouTube, etc. I've often seen passengers but never instructors in "track event" videos posted from the other side of the pond.
