Wow, I've never attended a non Porsche track event even then when you have some bad apples but that scene is ridiculous.

You get what you pay for. It's a cheap track day. I know a couple of guys that go during the day, they have a 944. They like it.
I went once for the evening event. Never again.

Good thing that nobody involved knows how to throw a punch - I love the karate kick/punch combo!!!

I saw a couple of videos of the event. The cars were passing with no signal from the car in front. Same video had one car passed on either side on the main straight then one more car came up the inside and made a pass entering the corner. These guys were racing.
Another video has one guy passing one car then clips a much slower car entering a corner. He then says to his friend "sorry man"
The vids were on Reddit

I've been to a few of these track days in my fist. Sometimes they're brilliant. Few people show up. Lots of time. Bring friends that know what they are doing.

Last time I went, there were two groups of people who were the worst. A group of s2000 heavily modified and a group of rich guys (488, two heavily modded M4s and an S65). S2000s thought it was a race. Had one guy tried to pass me in a corner so aggressively that he spun. The other group spent more time in the field than on track. It was embarrassing.

After the passing incident, I just got off the track. It was only a matter of time. Not a black flag to be seen. Won't be taking the porsche unless I'm certain there are few others around.
