As an instructor, I would tell them to GTFO the track.

On another note, how the hell did that guy not flip. I swear...

Hah I was about to add, God bless whatever instructor rides with them. Your jobs seem scary as hell sometimes. Those guys couldn't countersteer to save their lives, but as an instructor, you might not know that until you're sitting in that passenger seat and that rear end starts to come around. Not the best time to find out..

Yeah with the groups I go with, you're required to pit if you go four wheels off or spin. And I would think after multiple spins, they'd kick you back to beginner group and assign you an instructor.

For a second, I seriously thought that they're trying to crash and total their cars.. Same exact dudes with the weird smiles on their faces and ran off at the same spot over and over again.

I asked the same exact question for the first spin, he is so lucky the tires didn't get stuck in the dirt ..he could've easily rolled over the car and as you may know after the first flip the car gains momentum and typically followed by multiple rolls..

He was very close to win this year's Darwin awards

I thought the same thing.... Like zero recovery attempts or anything.

I dunno. Definitely a quick way to get yourself kicked off the track.

Just frozen reactions. All he needs to do is let it go and it'll be all good...but no...

Got DAM!!

As do I, though I attribute a lot of his higher cost to his zipcode (and possibly being under 25?).

It is probably from all those insurance claims when his S2k seats got stolen.

I would steal them. I like the seats and shift knob. I wish they did a CR in Laguna Blue.

One of the CR seats is tucked safely at home and used as a lounge chair when I'm tired of working on the car. I might need to clean up the passenger seat though. The ladies wet themselves too often.

I posted in that video a week ago basically saying, that its so unsafe that they are doing a track day like that with zero fundamentals for themselves and for others.

All their responses were they could not afford instructor, and want to learn by suggestion. I said any track day has instructors available free. They had no idea what I was talking about so either they are trolling for views, run with a group that just has no management or some 3rd world country.
