Too bad the "2 spin and you're done" rule wasn't enforced. This guy's a danger to himself and everyone around.

Whether this is "tokyo drift" , "drovers gone wild", "shuffle hand luke" or just a case of some really out of hand student (where is GR?) what the F happens 24 seconds into the clip?! there's some serious carnage, with at least two remains of cars in the track , one of which is greasy side up, clearly everyone is interested in getting by and back up to speed as soon as they can, and I have no idea what the idiot off roading in the honda is thinking...this is in a DE? with instructors? what org is this? scary stuff...

Its clear from the video that the drivers shirt changes in each shot so this must be his "wall of shame" shots of spills and thrills...

I'm guessing the guy had Henricksen in the right seat.

At 1:00 the dumb____ is trying to pass on the OUTSIDE Of 1 at Thunderhill? In a DE? (Yeah, I said it, and I'd say it to the guy's face.)

Did the video loop back halfway through for an encore? Also, looked like these "highlights" were from multiple events. Yes, I see it's Thunderhill and Laguna.

Let's not disparage the anonymous and incompetent. Rather encourage them; they may surprise you!

I'll be the first to laugh at my initial ineptness (and gasp at my lack of respect for certain rules) but i've improved along the way and more importantly made a lot of great friends!

Or it's just a compilation of clips from a driver who actually pushes the limits of his car. If you've never made a mistake on track, you've never driven at 10/10ths.

With all DUE respect, you should not be driving at 10/10ths in a DE.
