I had missed a couple of things, on screen narrating bettered that.
So yes, the sequel is better.

 

 

wow. just wow.

 

I would pay good money for that drivers forum username. That is some slack driving.

 

It's a pretty distinctive car.

MY09/10 with MY11 bumper and DRLS in white.
Carbon bonnet and spoiler.
MY10 wheels.
MY14 headlights.

 

The narrative was brilliant. His protruding gut was equally magnificent.

 

You mean Kebab store:chuckle::chuckle:

 

It was shocking in how good, yet bad it was.

 

Fingers like pork sausages.

 

I actually fancy a kebab now :/

 

why is everyone else going so slowly? initially I thought yeah what a tit, driving like that on sighting lap

a laugh that it appears to be a radical driver that's posted the parody vid - cause of course there's never any problems with radicals passing people on the brakes on in bends on track days ...

 

This is the car isn't it? Obviously not on about Alberts but indeed the member is on here but not airing there opinion / views.

 

That has got to be some of the worst driving I've seen on track and believe me I've seen everything after instructing on experience days for many years. If the driver is reading this get some instruction mate, you really need it or else you are going to be involved in a serious accident before long.

 

Shocking!!!

Also what is the point of driving any car on track in 'comfort' mode (Auto and traction control)???

Surely the point of taking your car on track is to have fun and explore the limits/capabilities of you and your car. Not drive like your sitting on the motorway in a Vectra!!

 

Some people just want to boast about how many people they overtook and how fast the car is.
Fun and driver involvement are not a consideration as they don't really know what they are doing.
Point and shoot.

 

OMG i always remind the trackday host to mention that one in the briefing if i have the pleasure of trackdaying.

 

What a t@at. Vid had me proper :chuckle:

 

I've sent the owner/driver of the car a link to this thread so hopefully he can comment!

 

No doubt he's just finishing off a large kebab and will be with us shortly.

 

Is it Maureen from Driving School?

 

OMFG. That is horrific. Would be interested to hear who was the Organiser? & circumstances around the McLaren incident?

Should have been black flagged!!

 

Lazy driving with little consideration unfortunately.

 

It's made Jalopnik's Facebook feed lolol. He's gone viral! I think he's more Burger King than kebab, because he drives like a real Whopper.

 

LOL at the edited vid.

This guy is the only person I've seen who's hands make the wheel of the GTR look small.

 

I was there on the day and the driver is a very good friend of mine.

There's a lot of mis information flying around as well as some uncalled for comments.

Just for some background info, this was the first time he has had the GTR on track and the vid was the first time he was going around.

The traction was fully off and suspension on R THROIGHOUT.

If anyone here believes the first time they were on track they were the new Lewis Hamilton, they are obviously deluded.

Everyone here was a learner before they passed, and again didn't start their first track day with Michael Schumacher precision.

The stewards on the day had zero issues, there were no black flags issued nor were there any warnings given.

If anyone had an issue why did they not tell a steward??

Or be man enough to actually talk to the driver??

The fact is he was much better later on in the day, and the Mclaren driver unfortunately was a little overwhelmed by the GTR.

The incident occured when the Mclaren gave room and signalled for the GTR to pass, and then turned into him as he was passing. To avoid major damage the GTR saw him coming early and turned onto the grass, averting any further damage. The steward even confirmed it was the mclaren drivers fault and apologised. We left the track as it started to rain and there was a couple of RWD 600+hp cars in the convoy with us that were using semi slicks. Waiting for more rain wouldn't be a bright idea as they would not fair greatly in a drive back with heavy rain.

The track day was one of the worst I have attended with regards to other driver skills, and the Mclaren had already been off that morning!! He went straight over the grass, and if there was a video of him around the track it wouldn't be pretty at all.

The unfortunate thing is that GTR's create a lot of attention, and this in turn attracts Jealous and Envious individuals.

I.E the maker of this video. He was so worked up in his Jealous rage, that he found a pic of the GTR from the Msvt site and even paid for it to be put in his video!! Lol

It takes time to look for a decent pic, and he obviously spent some time doing so.

Gotta give it to him for taking the time and effort to make it. Hopefully now he feels better at night time knowing that he made a "cool" video about a GTR driver while he probably dreams of owning one.

He seems such an expert at pointing out someone's mistakes from behind a computer, however why not go upto someone and give them some pointers, or if you haven't got the backbone to do that, talk to a Marshall!! He was obviously there on the day.

The funniest thing is that the driver would probably make kebabs out of the keyboard warriors that pop up! Lol


People are quick to judge from behind a keyboard but if they knew the driver wouldn't be saying some of the stuff they are.

If anyone wants to say anything to him in person next time, please feel free. Look out for him next time, he's pictured below. Can't be many 6ft+ guys weighing in at 25stone driving GTR's

 

There's a lot of mis information flying around as well as some uncalled for comments.

WTF? At the very least, this guy needs some serious tuition on track craft. Driving one handed and slicing people into virtually every corner is not exactly the way to go on is it.

Anyway, it's a funny video:chuckle: Do you seriously believe that the person who made the video is jealous?

 

From Jalopnik

Now, I know that we Jalopnik writers love us some hyperbole. Everything here is "crazy" and "insane" and full of things we "can't stop watching." But let's put all that aside for a second, friends. Let me be completely honest with you. This track day video has the worst driving I have ever seen.

The driver of this Nissan GT-R at a Bedford Autodrome track day in England is a knob. And a knob who's lucky he didn't kill someone.



His on-track behavior is unfathomably stupid, completely inexcusable, and worst of all, very dangerous. This is a man who owns a car he has no business driving, and who does not belong on a race track.

Over the course of the 10 minute video, the driver rests his hand on the handbrake; takes corners with just one hand on the wheel; rests his elbow on the door; overtakes other cars mid-corner and in braking zones by nearly crashing into them; dicks around with the infotainment screen, which he doesn't seem to understand how to use; has the worst hand placement and wheel control I think I've ever seen; and plows over every other car in the field simply because he has the power to do it.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why people hate GT-R owners.

In almost any other car, his lack of skill and lack of respect for what he's doing would mean he'd be in the grass or a wall or someone else's car not long after taking off.

But nooooo, he's in a GT-R! The magical computer car with five billion horsepower that you don't need to learn to drive because it does all the work for you! Just plant your foot and go, knob, you have a GT-R! **** the proper line, **** braking, **** hand control, and most of all, **** everyone else!

Are all GT-R owners like this? Of course not. Plenty of them actually know what they're doing. But there aren't many other cars that let you get away with this knob's dangerous level of incompetence.

Except he apparently didn't get away with it, according to the YouTube description:

Rumour is the driver in the video crashed into a MP12 WHILE he was already under yet another black flag. The McLaren driver said that he had to turn in opposite lock to keep the car from spinning after the impact. The passenger of the McLaren also commented that the GT-R carried on out breaking cars and passing cars while in the corner with a large propane tank AFTER they had collided.
Excellent job, knob. You've raised the bar.

Hat tip to Ryan Lewis!

 

Well if beefcake thought people weren't going to comment on the video he shouldn't have posted it up originally.
He's probably used to his physicality being enough to intimidate people whilst he's out the car so why not drive it like that on the track... get out of my f'ing way or I'll make you.

 

No one cares how big your mate is, he drives like a prick! My first track day I kept both hands on the wheel and respected others!

 

Well it seems everyone was obsessed with the kebabs! Lol


Congrats to you.

You should award yourself a blue peter badge for the effort.

People learn from mistakes.

But again I forget most people were born perfect race drivers.

 

Did he miss the driver briefing?
