he drove off the road because he drives a X MR

I couldn't stand the first part of the video, too much talking with loud car noises over their voices

Has anybody ever tried to claim damage to insurance from track damage? lol especially one where you got caught on tape.

It said he spun/went off twice before..should have black flagged him for the rest of the day as there is a difference from thinking you are michael schumaker and that your evo is going to roll with a 996 cup car and the casual practice day that it was.

that driver was a tool. he has a "car show" filming his car and won't turn over the keys because he's too obsessive about chasing a 996 at a track day? then goes off-track three times and hits another car trying to prove that he can catch a 996?

what a loser.

Were did you get the idea it was an MR?? Pretty sure watching him shift in the video proofs otherwise.... (also no paddles)

Also pretty sure his driving got him off the track...

Here's a direct link to the video (link) so people aren't searching their blog or youtube page for it later.

How is that driving fail? That bmw clipped his quarter and he lost it. I bet all of you that commented with that would've done the same thing.
