Didn't think you were allowed to overtake all over the place like that?
There was a bird driving the Evo or an older man whoI assumed was her dad

Evo driver is a complete bellend. The pass was ok, but he moved accross squeezing the camera car out. Fine in racing, not fine on a simple track day.
That corsa is damn rapid. Must be a highly tuned XE as I just can't see a 300bhp turbo corsa holding traction like that round the bends.
See, you CAN polish a turd...... I hate videos like this, it just reminds me I can't afford to get my car on the road yet im so desperate to get on track again

Old dude and a younger bird drive the Evo.
When I was there you were only allowed to overtake on the straights and if the slower car moved over to the right handside

It is, just people get the red mist and think they are Senna or something.
But sometimes, peoples cars that are quicker on the straights simply won't let you pass, so sometimes its neccesary (or just do a drive through).
But that was clearly dangerous.

knockhill depends on what rules you want for the track night as its a private night,
one i was at last thursday was top marks rules only pass on the left, that one in the vid was sunday night and could pass ethier side, just nothing mental on the corners

Its my mate that organises this tracknight, he got the pass on the left rule changed to either side as its natural to overtake on the right. Not really any rules, just dont be too stupid. But there were 3 weegies there 2 in cossies and one in that evo being total dickheads. The wee bike engined mini got them told though

Was it the girl driving?
It must be frustrating for them tough... if they are behind slower cars, which may take some time to move out of the way.
They didnt do anything wrong, but maybe should have 'not' done some moves. Which is very easy to say, and not so easy with the red mist

To be honest mate, a lot of the time they were being plain stupid! They were cutting people off in corners, putting people off there lines and just about sending them into the kitty litter. They had words spoken with them though so hopefully all will be better next time!
You will need to bring the skyline to the next one! Really good nights the Trix ones.
