Default Driver "Training"????

Found this over on the 964 Forum. Check out both videos, as they are similar, but not the same......... (And we think DE here is screwed up sometimes.)

is it just me, or does the second video end with the cameraman parking his car on the track and opening a door?!

I'm still fairly new to DE's/track time, but that seems like 2 MAJOR errors in judgement in a row there....or am I crazy?

The camera car may have also been the mop-up car at the end of the pack. Otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense to park it on track.

It appeared to me that the black car in the second video might have been trying to avoid hitting the slower yellow car on the right. When the black car's rear steps out to the left, it points the car toward the yellow car, so a steer left correction makes the tail step out back to the right. Then he's done for.

GForce Racing Academy provides rally-driver training in Finland, often on snow and ice. Some apparently aren't quite ready for prime-time snow and ice.
